"There is no prosperity without security, and what we had before was the illusion of security."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent
.@POTUS is defanging the Iranian regime and bringing peace to the Middle East. Given another year or two, it would have been impossible to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. There is no prosperity without security, and what we had before was the illusion of security. Thanks to President Trump’s decisive action, our world is now a safer and more secure place.

I think this is a reasonable critique (the term is confusing because some people think wokeness is left wing pathology).
But the entire point of the term "woke right" is to bring awareness to the fact that wokeness is a pathology of humans that is politically agnostic: group-based victimhood politics is toxic irrespective of which group practices it.

If the war keeps taking out murderous Iranian political and security leadership I am concerned that there will no longer be suitable candidates to lead the UN Human Rights Council.

Strikes on Iran's Natanz uranium-enrichment facility this morning were carried out by the United States, not Israel.
The IDF says that it did not conduct any strikes in the area, and it cannot comment on American activities amid the war.
Earlier, Kan news cited a source as saying that the US used bunker buster bombs to target the nuclear site.

EXCLUSIVE: Mideast Gulf oil producers are urging the US to address the disruption to oil flows through the strait of Hormuz "straight on", warning that interim measures such as tapping into Iran's so-called "oil-on-water" risk strengthening Tehran's position while leaving regional producers exposed, senior Gulf officials have told @ArgusMedia. #oott

CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper: “Iran’s ability to threaten freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz is degraded as a result, and we will not stop pursuing these targets.”
Admiral Cooper says the US bombed Iran’s coastline facilities that threaten the flows of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and struck Iran’s underground facilities and anti-ship missiles along with intelligence support and radars.

The head of US Central Command said American forces struck an underground missile facility along Iran’s coast this week, targeting assets used to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
“For example, earlier this week, we dropped multiple 5,000-pound bombs on an underground facility located along Iran’s coastline,” Adm. Brad Cooper said, adding the site stored anti-ship missiles and launch systems and that the strikes also destroyed intelligence and radar systems used to track vessels.

Hey @NYCMayor New York City is actually home to many communities that celebrate Novruz-- Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Azerbaijanis, Tajiks, Turkmen, Kurds, Afghanis, Pakistanis and more.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Nowruz Mubarak to all the Iranian Americans who call New York City home! It was an honor to celebrate Charshanbeh Soori with so many of you in anticipation of spring, renewal, and - now especially - the enduring hope of a new day for the Iranian people. Nowruz is typically a time of good feeling, but this year is different. I continue to stand in opposition to this war, and I wish as many moments of joy as possible for all Iranians observing this special holiday.

Ahmad-Reza Radan, the head of the Iranian police, has likely died in an Israeli attack. With a reputation for brutality, he recently threatened the protesters: "The security forces have their fingers on the trigger." Participants in the demonstrations will be viewed "not as protesters, but as enemies," he warned on state television.

NEWS: Trump has been strategizing methods to secure or extract Iran's nuclear materials, sources told @CBSNews. The timing of any such an operation – if he were to order it – remained unclear Friday night. One source said he has made no decision yet. But planning has centered on the possible deployment of forces from Joint Special Operations Command, the elite military unit often tasked with the most sensitive counter-proliferation missions, two of the sources said.
