[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

So he’ll stop bombing Iran in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz…

…which was open before he started bombing Iran.

Got it.

[Iran Embassy SA @IraninSA]

Let it be remembered in history

We have never started a war.
We have never invaded anyone.
We have not killed children.
We have protected our homeland, dearer to us than our lives.

I think the hardest part of the current political climate is realizing how many people are actually just evil. Not misinformed or uneducated... just openly and happily enjoying other people's suffering.

Her story needs to be taught just like Anne Franks was.

[Haytham Kaafarani @hayfarani]

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

I want these parasites to be made to run from north to south and east to west, like they made Palestinians do in Gaza, lugging their children and whatever they could carry on their backs. Or better yet, leave and go back where they came from. I want them to feel the terror they’ve rained on the entire region for decades. I have nothing but contempt for these morally aberrant creatures.

You're on a residence visa that needs to be renewed every 2 years. Sit down.

[Ahmar Khan @AhmarSKhan]

Doing this next to Priyanka Chopra an Indian nationalist that supports a government cracking down on Muslims and minorities, is poetic by Javier Bardem. A legend.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Reza Pahlavi speaks behind bulletproof glass in Munich. While Iran's President Pezeshkian walking among the Iranians on 14th day of war — no glass, just people.

That's the whole story in two images.

[KHAL @Hal9000_T1]

Israel: "We did nothing wrong in Gaza"

Also Israel: "We will do to Lebanon what we did to Gaza"

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

I will never have empathy for Israelis and neither should you - reminder that they booked boat tours to watch missiles fall on Gaza

[Ayesha Ijaz Khan @ayeshaijazkhan]

This is the main reason UAE is hit more than the others:

its actually wild that you can kill close to 200 school girls and still host the World Cup

JUST IN: Iranian state television did not cut the feed.

That is the most important geopolitical signal of 2026 and almost nobody has processed what it means.

On March 10, Day 11 of Operation Epic Fury, explosions thundered across Tehran while hundreds of thousands of Iranians stood in Revolution Square rallying behind new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. The blasts were audible on the live broadcast. Smoke rose behind the crowd. The cameras kept rolling. The chanting grew louder. Nobody ran.

At the Pentagon, on the same day, Defense Secretary Hegseth declared it the most intense day of strikes inside Iran. Joint Chiefs Chairman Caine confirmed missile launches down 90 percent and drone attacks down 83 percent since February 28. By every metric Washington measures, the war is being won.

The live feed from Revolution Square says the opposite.

Every Western model of this conflict assumes the Baghdad template. Decapitate the leadership, destroy the infrastructure, degrade the military, and the state collapses. The US and Israel killed Ali Khamenei on day one. They sank the navy. They hit the state broadcasting headquarters. They struck 131 cities. Over 1,255 Iranians dead and 10,000 wounded. A girls’ school leveled, 165 children killed. The Pentagon calls it ruthless precision.

And yet. The 88-member Assembly of Experts convened under bombardment and elected a successor. The IRGC pledged full obedience within hours. The army, police, intelligence ministry, Guardian Council, and every major seminary followed. State television organized a live broadcast from the heart of the bombed capital and showed the world a crowd that absorbed explosions without flinching.

This is not propaganda. This is the observable signal of something no targeting model accounts for.

Iran’s Mosaic Doctrine distributes command authority across 31 autonomous provincial IRGC commands operating under standing non-expiring orders requiring no central direction. Killing the Supreme Leader did not sever the chain of command. It activated the succession protocol every node had rehearsed. Mojtaba inherited not a fractured state but a self-organizing system designed to survive exactly this scenario.

The broadcast was the proof of concept. When a regime under the heaviest aerial bombardment in the modern Middle East fills its central square, lets the enemy’s explosions serve as soundtrack, and never cuts the feed, it is communicating one thing: we are still here and we are not afraid.

Markets have not priced this. Oil near $120 but forward curves still imply resolution within weeks. The Strait of Hormuz remains contested. Over 3,500 Iranian missiles and drones have hit Israel and US bases across the Gulf. Bahrain took a strike on a residential building in its capital. Aviation insurance across the region is frozen.

The temporal arbitrage is deafening. Washington measures success in destroyed launchers. Tehran measures success in the broadcast frame of a crowd standing in the blast radius on live television. One side fights a kinetic war. The other fights an information war using the kinetic war as content. Information wars do not end when missiles run out. They end when the narrative breaks.

The narrative from Revolution Square is not breaking.

Falsification trigger: full ceasefire plus Hormuz reopened plus Gulf aviation insurance reinstated within 21 days kills this thesis. If none are met by March 31, the defiance premium becomes structural.

The Pentagon is counting destroyed targets. It should be counting the people who stayed.

Here is one of the many people who once mocked the deaths of Palestinians

Now experiencing firsthand the kind of fear and suffering that Palestinians have endured for years.

[Niz @NizMhani]

Lets be clear....

If a primary school in Tel Aviv was bombed and 160 little girls were killed, the BBC, CNN and all other news broadcasters would be covering it wall to wall, 24/7 and we would know every one of their names.

Some children matter more than others apparently...

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

It doesn’t matter whether Khamenei is dead or not. What matters is how insane it is to live in an era where one country can assassinate the heads of other states with total international impunity. The fact that this precedent is now fully normalized is fucking nuts.
