They could sue, but that doesn’t mean they realistically would or could enforce it.
Yes, the characters are clearly LEGO-inspired, so on paper there’s a copyright argument. But you’re talking about political content tied to a state actor, not a business selling knockoffs.
LEGO can enforce IP against companies and creators in jurisdictions where courts will act. That’s very different from going after foreign political propaganda. Even if they “win” legally, enforcing it is a whole other issue.
So: legally arguable, practically unlikely, and largely unenforceable.

Iran doesn't seem intimidated at all and has just released another Lego video mocking the coalition.

(3/10) In short: President Trump made a terrible decision to tear up the Iran nuclear deal (“JCPOA”) in 2017 and replace it with nothing. The Obama Administration put Iran’s nuclear program in a box, President Trump let it out.

(1/10) @realDonaldTrump cited me as supporting his attack on Iran and expressing regret we didn’t do it during the Biden Administration. Except I didn’t.

Trump: I've heard that today Blinken made a statement that he should have done it. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Blinken is Biden’s guy I guess. Who the hell knows who he is. But he came out with the statement that they should have done it, they made a mistake

When I say that OSINT/STRATFOR/GEOSTRAT accts really have no idea what they're talking about, this is what I mean. Just dumb, ridiculous nonsense that gets peddled by so-called "experts"
Fact is, these people have no more clue what's going on in the Iran War than you or I do

Signs Iran may be holding its best missiles in reserve. FT: Highest-tech missiles not yet used, “possibly because they have been destroyed, possibly because they are not yet operational, or possibly because they will only be used when adversaries run short of interceptors.”👇

🇺🇸🪖𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲
The Pentagon is planning for a potential deployment of up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The force would likely include infantry and armored units, adding a combined-arms capable echelon behind the 82nd Airborne and roughly 5,000 Marines already ordered to the region.
This is sound doctrine. You don'torward-deploy an assault-capable force without identifying follow-on elements.
If the first wave goes kinetic and encounters resistance, you need the next echelon within decision-action range, not still loading out of a stateside location.
The planning should exist whether or not it gets executed. But there is a nuance.
Each tranche announced publicly adds a rung on the escalation ladder. The 82nd is not a garrison force.
The two MEUs with the USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship, transiting toward the Gulf, are configured for rapid insertion, shock, and strike.
What they are not designed for is sustained positional defense against armored counterattack.
Arnhem in 1944 comes to mind when a lightly equipped airborne force held for nine days against SS Panzer units without armored relief.
The preparation of a 10,000-strong armored component is the intended answer to that problem.
Someone in the Pentagon has thought past the assault phase. U.S. planners do not want a “Bridge Too Far” in Iran.
Prediction Only: The 3rd Infantry Division ("Rock of the Marne") out of Fort Stewart, the formation that led the ground assault into Iraq in 2003, is among the most likely sources for that capability.
The risk, however, of having a follow-on force on standby is that the threshold for ordering them into combat for any other reason is lowered.
Assembled forces create their own logic.
That's where the escalation ladder stops being a leverage tool and starts becoming self-fulfilling.
Meanwhile, Trump has paused strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure until April 6, but the pause is narrow: power plants and energy sites.
It does not cover Kharg Island, the capture of a uranium storage facility, or any other strategically or operationally significant objective in the region.
It is also worth remembering that Trump ordered the original strikes during ongoing negotiations with Iran and while more meetings were planned.
The diplomatic and military tracks operated in parallel then by design and there is no reason it would not now.
And, although April 6 is the next hard deadline, it may not be the most consequential one.

“If you talk to anybody who has a sober analysis of the war, they will tell you (including military people) there was an overestimation by the White House about how quickly Iran was going to crumble, yet they are still standing. Somehow it’s all gone very wrong.”

@MarioNawfal Iran claims a lot of shit and 99% isn’t true so you should stop repeating you stupid fuckwad
English
🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran claims it fired a Qader cruise missile at a U.S. carrier group.
The U.S. hasn’t confirmed it.
Here’s what matters.
The Qader is built to hit ships. It launches from land, flies just meters above the sea, and locks onto moving targets in the final seconds.
Range: 120–300 km.
Warhead: 200 kg high explosive.
Hard to detect. Hard to track late.
But here’s the reality.
The USS Abraham Lincoln isn’t alone. It’s surrounded by layers of radar, jets, and missile defenses.
One missile isn’t enough.
To actually break through, you need multiple launches at once to overwhelm defenses.
So the threat is real. The missile is real.
But a single strike won’t take down a U.S. carrier.

JUST IN: Chinese satellites guided an Iranian missile onto a residential street in Kfar Qasim in Israel this morning. Five Israeli civilians are in hospital. China has not fired a single shot in this war. China does not need to. The missile was Iranian. The BeiDou-3 military navigation system that guided it to its dispersal coordinates was Chinese. The sodium perchlorate fuel that propelled it was shipped from Gaolan Port in southern China. The interceptor that destroyed the parent warhead was American. The bomblets that survived the interception and flipped a white SUV on a residential street were designed to overwhelm defences built by Rafael, whose IPO valuation just doubled to $23 billion during the war. Four nations in one detonation. One street. One flipped car. Five people bleeding from blast waves produced by a weapon that was simultaneously destroyed and delivered. And the country that provided the fuel and the coordinates is not in the headlines. Iran completed its full military transition from American GPS to Chinese BeiDou-3 in June 2025 after GPS jamming during the 12-day war rendered its missiles inaccurate. The B3A encrypted signal provides sub-5-metre precision, frequency hopping against jamming, and mid-course corrections to 2,000 kilometres. Seventy percent of Iranian ballistic missiles now carry cluster warheads. Each disperses 20 to 24 submunitions at 7 to 10 kilometres altitude, above Iron Dome’s engagement ceiling. The parent missile is destroyed. The children scatter. The six-second gap between interception and ground impact is the window the bomblets exploit. Iron Dome was not designed to track 24 falling objects across an 8-kilometre radius. The cluster warhead does not need to penetrate the shield. It needs to outlive it by six seconds. China supplies the navigation. China supplies the fuel. Approximately 1,000 tons of sodium perchlorate from Gaolan Port in early 2025, enough for 260 to 500 missiles. And the bombs that America drops on Iran to destroy these launchers contain Chinese rare earth magnets. The interceptors that engage these missiles cannot be manufactured without Chinese minerals. The $200 billion supplemental that Congress is funding cannot replenish the munitions without Chinese supply chains. And the $650 billion that Big Tech is spending on AI infrastructure depends on semiconductors fabricated with helium from a Qatari facility that this same war shut down for three to five years. Every node in this conflict routes through Beijing. Every side depends on Beijing. Beijing profits from every side. The bomblets create de facto minefields in residential areas. EOD teams in Kfar Qasim clear them one by one. The next wave arrives before clearance is complete. Petah Tikva reported impacts in the same salvo. The satellites guiding the next missile to its dispersal coordinates are the same satellites guiding Pakistani cruise missiles and Belt and Road freight across Central Asia. The SUV on the street was flipped by a 3-kilogram bomblet that separated at 7 kilometres, fell for 40 seconds, and detonated on asphalt navigated to within 5 metres of its target by 40 satellites owned by a country that sells fuel to the nation that launched it, minerals to the nation that intercepted it, and helium infrastructure to the nation that fabricates the chips both sides need to fight. That is not a war. That is a supply chain with a body count. And the supply chain has one backbone. It is not in Tehran. It is not in Washington. It is not in Jerusalem. It is in Beijing. And Beijing has not fired a single shot. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Nikita Bier says Creator Payouts will now be affected by the user’s location. But told me personally I wouldn’t get paid at all: “We won’t send you money overseas.” Why is a regular user being targeted like this? I just think this change raises many issues: - What about US citizens living abroad? (many are full time X creators) - What about legitimate international creators? - Users from countries with little user base? (Vatican, 800 people; Andorra, 80k, etc.) - International full time X creators? Why should an account like mine not be paid at all while delivering over 100M impressions a month? Because the Head of Product doesn’t like me? I think @elonmusk should look into this. There are smarter ways to deal with ‘foreign interference’ from 3rd world countries. I was suspended within minutes of respectfully commenting about Nikita, then unbanned by Elon Musk himself. Hope it doesn’t happen again. Just my opinion, respectfully.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 American cluster weapons make Iran's look primitive
The U.S. packs 88 grenades into a single 155mm artillery shell that a howitzer can fire 30 km.
Each grenade arms itself mid-air through centrifugal force, then punches through nearly 3 inches of armor on impact while simultaneously scattering lethal fragments in every direction.
Over 100 countries banned these weapons.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Why Iran chose cluster bombs over conventional warheads Simple math. Israel's Arrow system is built to kill one big warhead. So Iran sends one missile that splits into 80 bomblets at 23,000 feet. That single radar track suddenly becomes dozens of small falling objects scattering across six miles, and no air defense system on earth can chase them all. Over 100 countries banned these weapons because of what they do to civilians. Iran, the U.S., and Israel never signed. Now Israeli neighborhoods are learning why. Source: AI Telly

⚡️Jake Sullivan on Iran:
Just a few days before we started bombing Iran, the Iranians put a proposal on the table in Geneva that went a long way towards resolving the nuclear issue.
And my understanding is that our side, our negotiators, simply didn't understand what they were being offered.
War Intel@warintel4u
⚡️Jake Sullivan on Iran: You can strike Iran’s nuclear program. But at the end of the day, they still have a stockpile of enriched uranium. They still have centrifuges lying around various facilities we may not even know about. And they still have scientists who know how to put all that together.
