The only Iranians most of this platform listen to are Iranian state media or IR officials.

β€œIf what Iran’s foreign minister is says is accurate” is doing a metric fuckton of work in his post.

Please tell me this isn’t an appeal that has gotten to this point.

I’m going out on a limb and guessing Todd’s MS Paint level plan did not take much effort in exploring regional topography.

I think there’s more than that both there and here. I sent you a DM.

MBS wanted to double game this, hoping that it would avoid Iran hitting the Kingdom. But don’t underestimate the fact that the IR provides masses of discounted oil to China in exchange for weaponry. A huge part of this is the US interest in cutting off the Chinese economic supply lines.

I’m curious if β€œfrom what I understand” is Ophir riffing off the cuff or if that’s an actual change of official position.

I’m used to the lack of clear comms from the US side (as annoying and frustrating as it is, we all know that Donny thinks he’s the best at comms) but not from the Israelis.

At getting the books? No. At venting 14 years of frustration? Maybe?

At least 153 people including children have died after a reported strike hit a school in southern Iran, according to Iranian officials.
Iran has blamed the US and Israel. The US military's Central Command (Centcom) said it was looking into reports of the incident, while Israel's military said it was "not aware" of any IDF operations in the area.

That wasn’t the Israeli response. The Israeli response was β€œwe not aware of any of our operations in the area.” (Eg we weren’t there). You’re attributing social media comments to the IDF. From BBC:

The only silver lining here is that this is a boon for intelligence agencies because the 1% that is still up is all but guaranteed to be IR nodes, providing a honey pot of where to look to IR adverse intelligence, even when internet comes up.

Maybe it’s me, but irrespective of his statement, I always thought the Rubio comment was ridiculous. There’s no way Israel would have moved without Trump’s blessing. They didn’t want to cease the 12 day war because they hadn’t finished their target list of launchers and had full air supremacy.
