@websterkaroon And the highest volcano in all of Asia.

@rmslim Where did the US attack from?

@wiki_iran Netanyahu must be desperate.

@gbrew24 It'll put pressure on Iran's oil production since they use empty tankers as floating storage. At least I think that's the thinking behind this move.

@SohrabAhmari @AlwaysFlacko Definitely not Dutch

@rmslim There weren't any working relations with Iran. Not really. The UAE and much of the GCC have always been focused on containment, not engagement. I'm curious to know what will happen in the future. I don't pay too much attention to what is being said right now.

@therealBehnamBT @NicoleGrajewski Do you condone the strikes on schools and also the one in Minab that killed over 180 schoolchildren?

@jsiwat @arash_tehran Is KSA willing to give up their ballistic missiles aswell?

[Mark @MarkITLG]

@hdagres What do you think of the videos of Iranians shooting at American airplanes?

[Mark @MarkITLG]

@hdagres It's about 500 miles to the border crossing (10~ hours drive) 340$ doesn't sound exorbitant.

@arash_tehran It goes both ways: peace won't happen unless both sides sit down and negotiate in good faith. I just don't see that happening with the current Israeli government

[Mark @MarkITLG]

@UEvental @MIND_ISRAEL I am not sure the American public will see it that way.

[Mark @MarkITLG]

@mxsgl Maybe he's afraid it might happen to him?

Military buildup can be seen on flightradar24 or any similar flight tracking site. Over the past few days dozens of C-17's. C-135's and C-5's have been flying over to Europe bringing along figher jets (f22's and f35's)

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh in his latest Substack article wrote:

A major U.S. bombing campaign against Iran is expected to begin as early as this weekend, according to (his trusted) Israeli and American sources.

Approved by the Trump administration, the strikes will focus on key military and nuclear infrastructure, including the fortified Fordow facility, where Iran’s most advanced centrifuges are located deep underground. The delay in timing, Hersh reports, is due to Trump’s desire to avoid disrupting U.S. markets when trading opens Monday.

The operation goes beyond targeting Iran’s nuclear capabilities—it aims to destabilize the country's leadership. U.S. and Israeli planners are counting on internal unrest to break out, hoping that strikes on military bases, police stations, and administrative centers will incite broader opposition. Hersh says there are even unconfirmed reports that Ayatollah Khamenei may have left Tehran.

While some in Washington favor installing a moderate religious figure to lead the country in a transitional phase, Israeli officials reportedly reject this, pushing instead for full political control through a loyal replacement. These internal disagreements reflect a deeper divide over what post-strike Iran should look like. Intelligence circles are also looking to Iran’s ethnic minorities—particularly Azeris with alleged CIA ties—as potential tools to spark wider dissent.

The plan, according to Hersh, bears resemblance to previous Western interventions in Libya and Syria, where external pressure led to long-term instability and suffering. The attack on Iran, he warns, could have similar consequences, potentially fragmenting the country and inflaming the region—all while being driven by Netanyahu’s strategic aims and Trump’s desire for a major geopolitical “win.”
