Makes you wonder whether this is a pollster’s way of saying "polls are rigged", or better yet, preparing to save face for final results https://t.co/UDeLLpXU31
@ronenbergman@jonatanu I used to greatly admire your work, @ronenbergman.
Sadly, your increasingly partisan tone has made your reporting seem less professional, less dignified, and far less credible.
Case in point.
@araghchi You misread the room.
This isn’t the Obama playbook, Trump’s position on Iran has been consistent for decades and and he’s acted on it firmly.
No games, no ambiguity.
You assumed you could still play those tired stupid mind games.
BIG MISTAKE. It's costing you.
Iranian foreign minister Araghchi:
“Why do we insist on uranium enrichment? Because that’s our legal right,”
Well, the Iranian people don’t have the right to access the internet, right to speak their minds, right to leave Islam, or (for women) the right to wear normal clothes.
So, why should you terrorists have the right to possess nuclear weapons?
@IRIMFA_SPOX So interesting you should ask.
Was Iran’s targeting of its Gulf neighbors a “revenge of choice,” or a "revenge of no choice" type of desperation?
And was weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz a strategy, or as it turns out now simply self-sabotage?
It does make one wonder!
🔴 Another Embarrassing Exposure for the Collapsed IRGC Narrative Machine
Moments ago, an account linked to the disgraced IRGC pushed footage on X claiming a “naval confrontation” between Iranian forces and the U.S. Navy in the Strait of Hormuz.
Within minutes, users dismantled the fabrication:
The vessel in the clip appears to be USS Sirocco (Cyclone-class, PC-6), a patrol ship transferred to Egypt in early 2023.
This wasn’t a confrontation.
This was recycled footage, repackaged as propaganda.
The conclusion is operationally clear:
The IRGC has lost not only battlefield credibility, but information dominance as well.
After four decades of deception, even their psy-ops are now collapsing in real time.
חמאס בקריאת השכמה לכל מי שחושב שמדובר בסכסוך על אדמה: "הבעיה שלנו היא לא פלסטין. גם אם נגרש את כל היהודים מפלסטין, אם הם לא יתאסלמו, נרדוף אחריהם עד קצה העולם ונהרוג אותם, ואז נקרא לנוצרים להתאסלם"
תנחשו לבד מה הם יעשו לנוצרים שלא יסכימו להתאסלם.

This was President Harry Truman a few weeks before he dropped atomic bombs, warning the radical leaders of Japan that he was going to level every major city in Japan if they didn't surrender.
Imagine if the Panican's like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson were around back then!
75% of Iran's petrochemical capacity is offline. Mobarakeh and Khuzestan Steel, with 14 million tons of combined output, are completely shut down. The Pentagon reports 80% of missile production facilities destroyed. Jam Petrochemical, with 3.2 million metric tons of annual capacity, says it will take years to repair the damage from the strikes. But the decay didn't start with the war: Iran's GDP per capita fell from $8,000 in 2012 to $5,000 by 2024 under more than a decade of sanctions. Equipment across its petrochemical plants, refineries, and steel mills was already outdated and under-maintained. The strikes hit the Arak industrial zone, home to Azarab Industries. This is the company that builds the boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, and fractionating columns Iran's factories need to repair what was hit. Under sanctions, Iran can't import the necessary spare parts, catalysts, or industrial equipment. Pumps corrode without replacement seals, catalyst beds degrade without refresh cycles, and heat exchangers foul without cleaning chemicals. I build chemical plants. Every month a plant sits idle, the cost to restart compounds. Iran lost more than a few factories. It lost the industrial base underneath.
في اعتقادي أن النظام الحالي في إيران انتهى عمليا، لم يبق له شيء من مقومات الاستمرار، سوى بعض الصواريخ والمسيرات التي يشاغب بها الحرس الثوري ليثبت أنهم ما زالوا على قيد الحياة وقادرون على المقاومة، العملية الأمريكية لإنقاذ الطيارين فضحت الخواء والهزال، فضحت كل شيء، الدولة التي تنهار اقتصاديا وعسكريا بهذا القدر، وشعبها منقسم بعمق، وتحاصر من محيط جغرافي معادٍ لها من كل الجوانب تقريبا، وتفقد سيادتها على برها وبحرها وجوها، تكون قد انتهت واقعيا، والمسألة مسألة أيام أو أشهر قليلة، إيران على أبواب عهد جديد
I’ve come across something noteworthy.
At approximately 2:15 am (Iran time), numerous civilian reports indicated a series of explosions in the Esfahan area.
Cross-referencing these reports with NASA's fire monitoring data reveals thermal anomalies that align both geographically and temporally with the reported explosions. These hotspots point to a strike on the industrial complex "Haft-e Tir", which I have previously discussed and which is linked to Iran's nuclear program.
The facility is located roughly 25 km from the improvised airdtrip where two C-130 aircraft and a light helicopter were destroyed - an event that appears to have occurred within the same time window.
While it is not yet possible to conclusively determine that these incidents are part of the same operation, the geographic proximity and the timeline strongly suggest a single operational event, or at the very least, a coordinated set of actions.
