Zanjan is 300 kilometers northwest of Tehran. It is not a nuclear site. It is not where the IRGC commands its missile forces. It is not on any published target list that any Western analyst predicted before this morning. And it is being bombed.
Ahram Online confirmed Israeli-US aircraft struck a depot site in Zanjan. IRNA, Iran’s own state news agency, reported explosions. Multiple OSINT accounts circulated footage of detonations consistent with precision-guided munitions hitting stored ordnance, the kind of secondary explosions that happen when a bomb hits a warehouse full of things that also explode.
Now pull the map back and understand what Zanjan tells you about the scale of what is happening inside Iran tonight.
Tehran. Isfahan. Qom. Karaj. Kermanshah. Tabriz. Lorestan. And now Zanjan. Eight cities across a country the size of Alaska being struck simultaneously by two air forces operating from carriers, regional bases, and stealth platforms that Iran cannot detect. This is not a targeted operation against a nuclear program. This is the systematic dismantlement of Iran’s entire military supply chain. Depots. Command nodes. Radar installations. Missile storage. Leadership compounds. The target list has expanded by hundreds of percent according to Israeli sources who described thousands of hours of intelligence preparation. Every site Iran spent decades building and dispersing across its geography to survive exactly this kind of attack is being hit in a single campaign.
Zanjan tells you the intelligence penetration is total. These are not obvious targets. A depot in a northwestern city that does not appear in any IAEA report or Congressional Research Service briefing means that American and Israeli intelligence mapped Iran’s logistics network down to the warehouse level. They know where the missiles are stored before they are loaded onto launchers. They know where the spare parts sit. They know which depots feed which launch sites and they are severing every supply artery in parallel so that what survives the first wave has nothing to reload with for the second.
Iran built its military doctrine on dispersal. Spread everything across a country of 1.6 million square kilometers so that no single strike can be decisive. Hide production in mountain tunnels. Store missiles in civilian areas. Scatter command posts across eight provinces. The entire strategy assumed the enemy would hit the obvious targets and miss the rest.
The enemy hit Zanjan. The enemy is not missing anything.
When a military campaign reaches cities that no analyst predicted, it means the target list is not a list. It is a map. And the map covers everything.
Iran did not prepare for a war this wide. Nobody told them to.

@frantechno @sentdefender @grok The missile threat is more critical to Europe than aircraft much of which Ukraine has degraded. Missile detection is best done with other more specialized equipment.

@sentdefender @grok Are satellites a better option than airborne early warning systems?

The Netherlands, on behalf of NATO and several other allied countries in Europe, has announced their cancelation and withdrawal from the program to acquire the Boeing E-7A “Wedgetail” Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft, to replace their aging fleet of E-3s based at NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen in Germany. The Dutch Ministry of Defense cites the E-7 Program losing its “strategic and financial basis” as their reason for leaving, in addition to the United States announcing their withdrawal from the program in July 2025.

@Mark_Penn if you look at some of the Mass Supreme Court Decisions regarding Harvard going back to the 70s, you will see their argued position on their pre-eminence. They have been asked to comply, and they are not used to that.

Harvard
I am a supporter and big fan of Harvard, its students and what it can do for people and the country when it gets it right. It is critical that it be a leader in open discourse and intellectual rigor.
But the University report of antisemitism by its own committee is sobering. Except for a small window of time in the 70s, Harvard has a long history of administration-sponsored, deliberately implemented discrimination. The first Jewish professor was forced to convert to Christianity — and it didn’t get much better from there. There were quotas that kept Jewish enrollment down for decades and then DEI that led to new waves of suppression by defining one of the most oppressed people in the world long subject to deadly pogroms, slavery, discrimination and 6 million exterminated in the Holocaust as oppressors. And just recently the Supreme Court found Harvard explicitly guilty of discrimination against Asians in its admissions practices. While Harvard is private institution, discrimination of any kind is illegal and subject to government review.
There’s a lot of talk about Trump administration overreaching in its demands for strict monitoring and review of the university practices related to antisemitism.
But there were no complaints when the EEOC put hundreds of such requirements on the University. And with all the handwringing about no administration ever going this far, memories seem to have forgotten that after Brown v. Board, Eisenhower even sent federal troops to high schools to enforce it and protect students. SFFA vs. Harvard is just as important a decision and while troops are not needed, clear actions that are undertaken and are monitored are in line with enforcing the laws.
The 300-page University report details how multiple divisions of the school have fallen into the hands of activists who have shut out all intellectual discussion and are teaching warped views of history. And it details a campus hostile to Jews and all those from Israel with serious incidents of bullying and intimidation.
Harvard should sit down and negotiate with the administration and work out reasonable reforms. I think a solution can be found here outside a legal battle but it starts with Harvard recognizing it does have a long history of a real problem as has been fully documented by the courts and its own committee.

@A_d_n_R_d_i_g @SawyerMerritt Elon is going to skim the cream of the best of German autoworkers and subcontractors as the German auto industry dies.

@SawyerMerritt It was a massive mistake for Tesla to invest in Europe, between the protests, unionization efforts, and the hostile government; Tesla should have just exported to the EU instead.
English

NEWS: Around 3,000 workers at Tesla's Giga Berlin plant have signed a union petition for longer breaks and more staff.
Tesla asked around 7,500 of the plant's roughly 11,000 workers whether they were satisfied with their jobs. Approximately 80% of staff said they were, with 5% of respondents saying they were unhappy and the rest neutral.

@DashdotAnon @KPeruggi do you hold it in your wallet or do something else with it? anticipating something? i just have not familirized mysefl with nstk

@DashdotAnon a zeph-zsd pool somewhere? or just a set of private bots?

@ArturDavidov11 @Cephii1 We need an atomic swap with BTC from zephyr

$xmr is an effective store of value at this price point. Privacy has been underrated and undervalued for the last decade. Terrible times are coming. Cbdc and AI are a defacto war against privacy. This narrative will become more prominent. $zeph is the high growth, low market cap option in the privacy space.

@Apollo_21mil @AlexCosmonaut @Cephii1 you are blessed. i came late to inj but continue to acquire it in small chunks
English

@schoff60 @AlexCosmonaut @Cephii1 I hear you, I’m also in $inj and others so early that it’s hard for me to rotate to new risk unless it’s semi proven already
English

@Cephii1 $50 is next. I'd be interested in you taking a look at Gemlink, not quite as capable but tinycap and privacy
English

@Apollo_21mil @AlexCosmonaut @Cephii1 no question that these are risky microcaps. I was blessed with the ability to buy spacex stock over ten years ago when they were blowing up rockets. sometimes it works. I have some cpus and gpus to mine so they represent a bit of a discount on the buys that i do.

@schoff60 @AlexCosmonaut @Cephii1 I’ll check it out, I usually avoid anything thag blantantly says ai in it though

@ajmoomba @gregosuri i'm wondering if it is just too early days? when the commercial internet was launched in 1995 there were 500 organization internet connections.

@gregosuri what do you guys think about the volume it currently has? pretty low in my opinion?

@Apollo_21mil @AlexCosmonaut love akt but some of the new POW coins like CLORE have similar design focus of actually doing something as @Cephii1 says: clore.ai/marketplace

@AlexCosmonaut Na $inj and $akt> have to think about value exchange

I dont think I've seen a better website in my life.
If you claim, please double-check that it looks normal and that there are no msgSend or authZ messages.
Should just be msgClaim. I claimed and looked ok, tokens in my wallet.
Interesting footer 🤔

@HushPup2 @AlexCosmonaut @sunnya97 This led to a multi year war for the future of the internet. You can see some of this in the com-priv archives. Discussing the commercialization and privatization of the internet
English

@HushPup2 @AlexCosmonaut @sunnya97 It is an old meme going back to a scientific American paper on the tragedy of the commons. In the late 1980s there was a dramatic meeting in Reston Virginia to do this for the internet. CERf and khan were the point people pushing this and the meeting was intense. Settlement
