🚨 Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf is posting in perfect English, with memes, hashtags & emojis, straight from CALIFORNIA.
IranWire just published an article claiming that Ghalibaf's X account is run by ex-advisor Meysam Zamanabadi, living in Glendora, LA for a decade.
Meysam is the son of one of the Islamic Republic’s first intelligence censors, the guy who shut down journalists right after the Revolution.
Even after moving to America, he was still getting 40 million Tomans (~$11,000) every month from Tehran, wired in foreign cash through a shady Ferdowsi Square exchange. His dad’s old colleague funneled another 30 million from every official check straight to Meysam’s family.
This is the same guy who helped pick Ghalibaf’s current top advisor, and who presents himself as “PhD in Media Psychology” from a U.S. university.
The slick propaganda style you have been seeing in his posts is not Ghalibaf. It's Iranian regime's ghostwriter in California.
The regime’s loudest voice is being run from the country it claims to hate.

Fun fact: Observant Jewish life would inspire most young American conservatives tremendously if they saw it for real and ditched the propaganda against it.
BREAKING: The IDF gave it a name. Operation Eternal Darkness. Read the name as a capability statement, not a codename.
Fifty fighter jets. One hundred and sixty precision-guided munitions. One hundred targets. Ten minutes. Three geographic zones spanning 170 kilometres from Beirut’s southern suburbs to the Beqaa Valley to southern Lebanon. Simultaneous impact. Zero warning to the targets. Defence Minister Katz said it was the largest concentrated blow Hezbollah has suffered since the pager operation in September 2024.
The pagers were hardware infiltration. This was something else entirely.
In September 2024, Israel compromised Hezbollah’s supply chain, embedded explosives in pagers, and detonated them simultaneously. It required months of physical engineering, covert procurement, and logistical insertion. It killed approximately 40 commanders. Operation Eternal Darkness killed over 200 operatives in a single ten-minute window without touching a single device in advance. The penetration was not physical. It was informational.
The IDF confirmed that the operation was planned several weeks in advance and was going to proceed regardless of whether the Iran ceasefire was reached. The timing was driven by what the military described as optimal operational conditions. Translated from military language into plain language: the intelligence picture was complete. Every target’s location was known. Every target’s location was current. And every target’s location was known to be current at the same moment.
That simultaneity is the revolution. It is not possible to strike 100 dispersed command nodes across 170 kilometres in ten minutes unless you have real-time positional data on all of them continuously. Not yesterday’s data. Not this morning’s data. Live data, updating faster than any human can relocate, verified across multiple intelligence streams, and fed into a strike package that executes before the first target can warn the second.
Israel has built what military doctrine now calls a “data factory”. The system originated in Gaza where Unit 8200’s AI platforms, known internally as Gospel for infrastructure targeting and Lavender for personnel identification, compressed target generation from 50 per year to 100 per day. Haaretz confirmed on March 31 that this data factory is now active in the Lebanon and Iran theatres, creating a single operational picture from satellite imagery, drone feeds, signals intelligence, cellular metadata, and human sources fused through machine learning algorithms that identify patterns faster than any analyst corps on earth.
The name Eternal Darkness is not poetic. It is literal. When you strike every command node, every intelligence headquarters, every missile coordination centre, and every elite unit’s operational hub simultaneously, the lights go out across the entire organisation at once. There is no fallback node to activate. There is no secondary command to assume control. There is no communication channel to issue the order to disperse because the communication channel is what revealed the location in the first place.
Hezbollah’s options after Eternal Darkness are binary. Go digital and be found. Go analogue and be slow. An organisation that abandons digital communications to survive surveillance becomes an organisation that cannot coordinate distributed operations, which is the definition of a degraded force. The IDF does not need to destroy every fighter. It needs to destroy every connection between fighters. And on April 8, in ten minutes, it demonstrated that it can do exactly that across an entire country.
The pagers changed the supply chain. Eternal Darkness changed the definition of command and control. In 2026, your signal is your coordinates.

I have a decent track record of predicting this conflict so far so here's where I see things going. (quoted tweet is from six months before we hit Fordow in 2025). Short 🧵
JUST IN: The last time the CIA ran a deception operation to extract Americans from Iran, it invented a fake Hollywood production company called Studio Six Productions, took out ads in Variety, printed business cards, and walked six diplomats through Mehrabad Airport disguised as a Canadian film crew scouting locations for a science fiction movie. That was January 28, 1980. The operation was called Argo. It took months to build the legend. It worked because the cover story was elaborate enough to survive scrutiny at an airport checkpoint during a revolution.
Forty-six years later, the CIA built the legend in hours. According to Fox News citing a senior Trump administration official, the Agency launched a deception campaign inside Iran on April 3, leaking false information that the downed F-15E weapons systems officer had already been located and was being moved on the ground for exfiltration out of the country. Israel Hayom, citing a senior CIA official, reported that operatives used “fabricated transmissions” to convince Iranian forces that the pilot had already been extracted and moved to various locations. Some reports describe a maritime variant: a ghost ship, a fake naval exfiltration that drew Iranian coastal forces to a vessel that did not carry the man they were looking for.
Iran chased the ghosts. While IRGC ground forces, Basij militia, and Bakhtiari tribesmen pursuing a $60,000 bounty hunted the false leads, the WSO sat in a rock crevice on a 7,000-foot ridgeline in the Zagros Mountains with a pistol, an encrypted beacon, and SERE training, waiting for the people who actually knew where he was. The CIA’s “unique, exquisite capabilities,” the phrase used by the senior official and left deliberately undefined, confirmed his identity, verified the beacon was not a trap, and passed the coordinates to the White House. A senior Trump administration official told Fox: “Within 8 hours we had planes in motion. Within 12 hours we were on the ground in Iran.”
The deception did not achieve total diversion. IRGC forces still converged. A firefight erupted. Two transports were destroyed on the ground by the Americans who flew them there. But the fabricated transmissions bought the hours that mattered: the hours between the WSO being a hunted man alone in a crevice and being a located man with hundreds of operators converging on his position. The fake narratives did not need to fool every Iranian commander. They needed to slow enough of them long enough for the real operation to reach the ridgeline.
Argo took months and extracted six people from an airport. This operation took hours and extracted one man from a mountain 200 miles inside hostile territory during an active war. The tradecraft evolved from elaborate legend-building to rapid tactical disinformation injected into adversary networks in real time. The principle is identical: create a reality the enemy believes long enough for the people you are saving to reach safety.
The man the Iranians were chasing was never where they were looking. The ship they were watching was never carrying him. The convoy they were pursuing did not exist. And by the time they understood what the CIA had done, SEAL Team 6 had already loaded the colonel onto an aircraft and flown him to Kuwait, where the President said he “will be just fine.” The Agency that once used a fake movie to rescue Americans from Iran just used fake radio transmissions to do it again.

@BillAckman@LifeboatHQ@X We agree with you and only advice is to move out of NY. Sadly It became impossible to live and do business here . And Refuah sheleime for your daughter
