@manototv I thought I'd seen a lot of the footage. ... No, I knew there was a lot unseen--let alone all that will be seen _after_ the overthrow!
It has been an emotionally draining, devastating 7 hours!
Deep gratitude to the Manoto staff who endured even more. The nation is grateful!
@victoriaazad24 At this stage, the best approach is to focus on small teams, operating drones, targeting street-level suppression forces. This reduces financial and human costs, and allows dynamic evolution of tactics.
@victoriaazad24 'Death by a 1000 cuts' is the right approach, at this stage, and it can be carried out at a low cost (financial as well as casualties). The notion of large-scale ground operations must be replaced by planning small, drone teams.
@itsmeAfshin Then again, the mullahs won't permit the reopening of the Canadian embassy in Tehran without full diplomatic relations ie the reopening of the mullahs embassy in Ottawa.
@itsmeAfshin Note the distinction: Carney's contemplating the reopening of the _Canadian embassy in Iran_; he has not said anything about the reopening of the mullahs embassy in _Ottawa_. The article linked-to by Nazanin says nothing about the latter.
@itsmeAfshin Carney does not respond to a human rights argument & will not accept a security etc one. He'll respond to pressure, given the paltry, nominal 'gains' which a mullah embassy might represent.
We can apply that pressure, but we'll need to switch to new tactics. #cdnpoli
@victoriaazad24 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo!
That slogan escapes the fact that the Islamic Revolution was brought about by ordinary _Muslims_. _They_ manned the marches.
@victoriaazad24 Trump is not concerned with such analyses. He dismisses them offhand, as he surely did CENTCOM's warnings about the Strait of Hormuz.
As John Bolton often says, Trump plays chess one piece at a time. In other words, there is no strategic thinking.

@Blackzebra2001@SabaBakhtyari It was very simple to publicly reply to Manouchehr, and respectfully differ with some of his points. That is the simplest of conflict management!
You may think that to be beneath a royal, but his current role is that of a political leader--to manage conflict & be answerable.(3/3)
@Blackzebra2001@SabaBakhtyari I've supported the IPP and Reza-Pahlavi-style monarchists. It is the Yasmeen-Pahlavi-style monarchists that are breaking up Iranians' front against the mullahs.
RP is doing very well in the interviews. But, he needs to practise transparency, and to manage conflict. (2/?)
@Blackzebra2001@SabaBakhtyari His lines were quoted. If family membership were enough, then non-monarchist family members' lines would have been quoted.
RP is accountable. That is not criticism, it is a requirement of leadership. Another such requirement is an ability to defuse conflict among your side.(1/?)
