Something has to be said about the brilliance and discipline of Iran's campaign so far.
Since the very beginning of this, Iran has never been after big explosions and mass casualty events. They know where everything is located and could harm a great number of American servicemembers, and cause some very photogenic blasts.
But they have strictly adhered to a game eplan that's laser-focused on degrading the enemy's capabilities, rather than looking for a spectacle. They prioritize effectiveness over everything else, contrasting the colonizers' charlatan shock and awe approach with the certainty of methodical, strategically-placed, ever more precise and painful hits.
So they have gone relentlessly after the US military's eyes and ears in the region, making American command progressively blind and deaf while trying to fight on the other side of the world.
And the Americans have no other way of fighting: their one doctrine is heavily reliant on extremely expensive, sophisticated, and often practically irreplaceable sensing and monitoring equipment. What do they do when it's made useless?
We can imagine screens in war rooms in CENTCOM, the Pentagon and the White House going blank: no signal detected. Again and again and again, dozens of these installation are being dismantled.
And even if they occasionally have a backup, guess what: Iran has 100,000 more drones, and they're coming.
The US is an alien invading force in the region: they don't know it, they don't belong, and nobody likes them. They can only trust their toys. But the Iranians are breaking them one after the other, making their decision-making more difficult and prone to costly errors, and crippling their ability to defend their assets.

At this point, American servicemembers know they are not much more than sitting ducks in West Asia. They talk to each other, they know what's up, who's out, and what went offline. They know that a missile or drone with their name on it can appear any minute, and have to operate under terrible stress in a very hostile environment they have absolutely nothing to do with. Zero moral cause.
And lights are going out on their screens at a steady, scary pace, slowly crushing the confidence of the entire chain of command.
They see Iran's fearsome map. They know their enemy is highly capable, dedicated, dug in, and defending home, freedom and dignity.
Minimal waste of energy, the least amount of violence, and maximum results, while forcing the enemy to carry the burden of certain more pain and degradation in store. That's how Iran defeats a military that has 100 times its war budget.
And their highly-motivated native and Shia spirit hasn't even been tested. I'm not sure they ever imagined fighting the US would be this easy.
If Trump attacks Iran's nuclear sites or other sensitive centers, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately destroy the assets and critical infrastructure of his regime and his proxies across the region.
We are still alive in Gaza… 🥹🇵🇸
Despite everything, we are still trying to hold on.
If you see this photo, please don’t scroll past in silence.
Write anything — even a single dot means so much to us and reminds us that we are not alone. 🥹💔🙏
Spain may of been a bad actor in centuries gone by.
But in 2026 Spain’s moral clarity is something every nation should be striving for.
Well said Susan Surandon 👏👏👏

Percentage of drinking water from desalination:
—Bahrain 100%
—Qatar 99%
—Kuwait 90%
—Saudi Arabia 70%
—UAE 42%
—Iran 3%
If Gulf countries are willing to allow the US to use their territory to attack Iranian desalination plants, then prepare for the consequences..
⚽️As the world gears up for the football world cup final, Israel has just killed another Palestinian footballer: 17 year old Fadi al-Naasan was shot during an attack by Israeli settlers on his village in the West Bank. Israel spares no one in its genocidal war on Palestinians.
So the lives of two US troops are worth more than all the Iranian civilians killed by the US Terrorist Regime in Iran this week..? Are the US ever going to behave like a Civilised country..? Three times they've attacked Iran while pretending to be negotiating for Peace...
Excuse me for being too much of an ayatollah, but this world cup should never have been played and everybody should have boycotted it. With Gaza undergoing a holocaust, Lebanon being destroyed and Iran under attack by a US-led coalition, and with ICE terrorizing Americans and foreigners, this has just felt wrong all along. We all know and feel it.
The powers that be must never be allowed to rely on our conformity and desire to feel normal and ok to legitimize their horrors and atrocities.
No celebrations, no festivities, no holidays, no special days. All of it feels like shit.
The card of avoidance and nonparticipation is one of the strongest we got, and we abandoned it completely. It is all part of the normalization of fascism and genocide. There is no joy and no pride in tournaments and competitions played against a backdrop of untold, organized suffering.
We need to learn to say no, or we're doomed, and doom others, too.
Please, my daughter Rafif needs your sincere prayers now more than ever.😭💔🙏
Her fever has risen significantly, and I am doing everything I can to bring it down with medication and cold compresses, but my heart grows more worried with every passing moment.
Please don’t forget my daughter Rafif in your prayers. 🙏🙏
May God protect her and grant her a full and speedy recovery.
If you enter the US-corridor south of Strait of Hormuz, in the best-case scenario you will encounter numerous mines, and in worst-case, a massive hole will be blown into the middle of your ship.
You have no choice but to comply with our orders.
CENTCOM cannot save you.
3 villagers were martyred while crossing the Bandar Khamir Bridge. They were absolutely innocent, and we will never allow their blood to be in vain.
Iran is our homeland—from south to north, and from east to west. We will defend every inch of our land until our very last breath.
