I’ve hesitated directly sharing this — outside of a couple RTs — because that’s how I’ve handled it when I’ve been on lists in the past. But I just remembered that kids in elementary school would make fun of me for having a Time Magazine in my backpack time.com/5626827/the-25…

IAEA's Grossi has been to Isfahan. He explains why removing the cylinders of uranium gas with special operators would be "very difficult"; US and Iran had discussed downblending it during failed diplomatic talks @facethenation

Well, with this genius analysis, let’s thank God Dave Rubin isn’t in the U.S. intelligence community. Also, referring to military officials as the “Iranian Army” just confirms Dave has no understanding of Iran, and his analysis on this subject can be completely ignored.

A poll by Daniel Biss's campaign found 51% of Dem voters viewed AIPAC unfavorably vs 17% favorably in the Illinois district where he was running. So, by the time AIPAC started spending against him, he had decided to make the group a villain. It worked. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

Please Amplify! Two Kurdish men were arrested by security forces on March 13, 2026 from Khalifan village in Naghadeh: Mansour Abdollahzadeh, 41 years old. Manoochehr Abdollahzadeh, 27 years old. Two days later, Manoochehr was released. Mansour still remains in custody. #IranWar‌ #DigitalBlackOutIran #Rojhelat

Hamed Sheibani, former member of Iran Novin/Farashgard and former friend of Amir Etemadi: “One of the reasons foreign diplomats don’t support @PahlaviReza is that when they talk to him, they don’t really know who they’re talking to.. are they talking to him or Amir Etemadi & @SGhasseminejad?”

“European officials … said that the military operations over the past few days were more evidence of Israel’s belief that if it can dismantle Iran’s main sources of revenue & decapitate its political, military & intelligence leadership, the country will devolve into what the Israelis call ‘state collapse.’ The European view is that the result will be the opposite: Iran’s forces will escalate, using its surviving drones and missiles to destroy the vulnerable infrastructure of its neighbors, in what will become an existential battle.”

#Iran War Update No. 20 (focus on Iranian strategic narrative): 🔹The Strait of Hormuz is being increasingly framed in Tehran as a tool of Iranian leverage rather than a temporary wartime tactic. Iranian officials are openly discussing a post-war regulatory regime, including transit fees and IRGC-controlled routing. At the same time, there are reports that a “safe corridor” system is already being implemented for selected countries through Iran’s territorial waters. 🔹Meanwhile, international efforts to counter this are taking shape. Six U.S. allies U.S. allies – the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Netherlands – have signaled readiness to support maritime security operations in the strait, pointing toward a gradual internationalization of the waterway’s security. However, the exact form of their involvement remains unclear. 🔹Iran’s approach to escalation remains centered on vertical escalation rather than horizontal (expanding target types/categories). When Israel struck South Pars, Iran responded by targeting major energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf. Continued strikes on U.S. bases follow the same pattern, i.e., response to attacks on Iranian military infrastructure. The focus so far has been on escalating within existing categories of targets, increasing scale and impact, rather than opening entirely new domains. 🔹This logic was reinforced by Iran’s strike on the Haifa refinery despite U.S. messaging against further energy targeting, underlining Tehran’s emphasis on enforcing its own red lines rather than accepting those imposed by the adversaries. 🔹According to Iranian expert commentaries, Iran’s current approach rests on three key elements: unpredictability, a “madman strategy,” and making threats to the enemy more credible; the latter reflected in shortened gap between warning and action, aimed at “correcting past misperceptions” caused by restraint. 🔹Energy infrastructure remains at the center of the conflict. Damage to Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG facility has caused significant disruptions to global gas markets, with parts of the complex potentially requiring years to fully recover. 🔹At the same time, Iran continues to sustain its own exports. Oil shipments from Kharg Island remain ongoing at roughly 1.1 to 1.5 million barrels per day, while increased storage at Jask suggests preparation for prolonged disruption scenarios. 🔹The war is also driving new economic dynamics. Discussions in Washington about waivers for up to 140 million barrels of Iranian oil indicate mounting pressure to stabilize global energy markets, but Tehran signals it will continue prioritizing China as its main costumer. 🔹Militarily, the United States maintains that operations are progressing, with over 7,000 targets reportedly struck. However, Iranian assessments suggest U.S. operations are adapting under pressure, including greater reliance on stand-off strikes, regional bases, and long-range bomber missions from Europe. 🔹Israeli strikes continue to target Iran’s military-industrial base, including electronic industries in Shiraz, reflecting an ongoing effort to degrade Iran’s industrial ecosystem. 🔹At the same time, there are indications of Iranian tactical adaptation. Reports of an F-35 being hit, possibly through Surface-to-Air Missile ambush (SAMbush), have fueled discussion about improved survivability and evolving Iranian air defense tactics. 🔹Regionally, attacks on U.S. positions persist. Bases in Erbil and Bahrain have reportedly been targeted again by Iran and its Iraqi allies. 🔹Unconfirmed reports of rocket fire from Syrian territory toward the Golan Heights raise the possibility of another active front, although the scale and intent remain unclear. 🔹Tensions between Iran and the UAE have escalated sharply. Diplomatic relations are deteriorating, with visa suspensions, closures of Iranian institutions, and reports of embassy shutdowns signaling a significant breakdown in ties. 🔹Internal security pressures inside Iran remain high. Authorities continue arrests linked to “espionage” and insurgent activity, particularly in southeastern regions, reflecting ongoing concerns about internal destabilization alongside the ongoing war. 🔹Diplomatically, divisions within GCC persist. Oman continues to push for de-escalation, Qatar maintains a more balanced stance, while Saudi Arabia and especially the UAE are adopting increasingly confrontational positions toward Iran. 🔹China has maintained a cautious posture, emphasizing stability and energy security while avoiding alignment with either side. Beijing has so far refrained from calling directly on Iran to halt its attacks and instead, continues calling on all parties to end hostilities. 🔹Inside Iran, discussions about nuclear doctrine are re-emerging, including limited calls for weaponization or withdrawal from the NPT, although these remain on the margins for now. 🔹Overall, the war is increasingly being shaped by competing efforts to define the rules of escalation, with Iran attempting to formalize new realities on the ground – especially at the strait – while external responses remain fragmented and uncertain despite growing concern over maritime security.

🚨 Mr. Pahlavi's transition plan place all three branches of government and the military in the hands of a secret council whose unknown members were selected by ONE man with IRGC connections, named Saied Ghasseminejad 🚨 Saied simultaneously works for a pro Israel neoconservative think tank called @FDD. He doesn't even bother hiding this direct conflict. 🚨 If God forbid they take over Iran, Mr. Pahlavi's fans and followers "just know" that the secret council will suddenly turn democratic when the time is right! 😀

Sorry that I’m not a fan of your baby Khamenei.

I have a cousin who has been in prison since the 12 day war merely for being present in a Telegram channel deemed by the regime to be insulting to Khamenei (the dead one who wasn’t gay and boring).

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps intelligence unit has sent several mass threatening messages since the war began on 28 February. But in its latest attempt, it warns some against presence in opposition Telegram channels and Instagram pages while threatening prosecution.
