Muslim governments must choose either to unite and create a Muslim bloc or to remain slaves to the Epstein alliance. Russia and China are not coming to help.

@awesomekling Bluesky has been an incredible gift to the internet. Nobel-prize worthy achievement to induce such a successful a self-quarantining scheme.

@AIScottAdams can you make it comment the real news like peak Scott Adams would have (before he joined a tribe)?

I lost an eye in the 2022 protests and saw my friends die in 2026. I support the military action in Iran. In January, 40,000+ innocent youth were killed by the Islamic Republic. We have nothing left to lose and demand its end.

Everyone is debating whether the Iran strikes are justified. I want to talk about what comes after. Iran has 90 million people, one of the most educated populations in the Middle East, world class engineers, a young generation that grew up on VPNs and banned Instagram accounts hungry for connection with the West. Under the regime, all of that talent has been buried under theocracy and sanctions. A free Iran is not just a geopolitical win. It is the biggest market opening since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Imagine Iranian startups, Iranian universities unchained, Iranian women building companies instead of hiding their hair from morality police. The same country that invented algebra and gave the world Avicenna has been reduced to exporting terror and executing dissidents. Every entrepreneur should be rooting for regime change in Tehran. Not because of politics. Because 90 million talented people deserve to build, create, and trade with the world. That is what liberation actually looks like.

I'm intrigued by people who are hyper skeptical of mainstream media, but quick to believe things they see and hear online from random anonymous accounts that may not even be run by humans. 😂

@realpeteyb123 so this is the same thing ! They believe something because their book says. And you do the same!

[Peter B @realpeteyb123]

Serious question, do Muslims really believe that when they die they receive 72 virgins?

Like heaven is some kind of brothel?

I asked AI but I get mixed responses.

Can some Muslims reply? This is serious dialogue that I want answered once and for all.

Today I decided to download the Ayatollah Khomenei's manual of Islamic law, the Tahrir al-Wasilah.

Page 229, Volume 3: ''Intercourse with a woman is not allowed unless she attains the age of nine years, regardless whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. There is, however, no objection in other sexual enjoyments like touching lasciviously, hugging and rubbing the thighs, even with a suckling infant.''

"Why have you been silent?
In two days they shut down internet and killed 40,000 people. 53,000 people are under arrest, under torture. Women are being violated!
10,000 people have been blinded!
Where were you?"

Iranian activist Leila Farahbakhsh blocks a peace march in Florence against the US and Israeli military attack.
She shouts her heart out as the "pacifists" try to silence her.

@JamesUrling @KonstantinKisin Iran still has uranium. "Obliterated" doesn't mean they cannot build nuclear weapons in a few years. This seemed a good time to try to turn Iran, once and for all.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

The arguments about Iran are so polarised that no one wants to admit that several things are true at once:

You'd be a fool not to have serious reservations about the idea of a regime change war, especially in the Middle East.

You'd also be a fool to allow terrorist-funding lunatics to develop nuclear weapons.

Neither the people condemning these strikes, nor the people cheering them on know how this is going to work out.

So far, Trump Administration interventions have been extraordinarily successful in achieving valid objectives within a highly limited scope.

The strikes on Iran during the 12 day war achieved destruction of several nuclear facilities.

The Venezuela operation decapitated the hostile regime and replaced Maduro with a non-hostile leader.

Both also achieved significant "don't fuck with us" deterrence globally.

However, it is not remotely clear at this moment in time whether something similar can be achieved in Iran.

I understand and fully empathise with the people who think regime change is not going to work in Iran and you'll end up with the same as what you had or worse.

And I understand just as much the people who celebrate an evil dictator being killed and Iran's nuclear and military assets being degraded further.

The thing we do not know, and the thing that will determine whether this has all been worth it, is what the future leadership of Iran will look like. This seems to me to be the biggest risk Donald Trump has taken at any time in his first or second term. If it pays off, the reward both domestically and globally will be huge. If it doesn't and things go south, it could derail his Presidency and define his legacy like Iraq did for Blair and Bush.

Very few people have any idea which of these scenarios is more likely and one thing is for sure: none of them are talking about it on social media because they're all sitting in command bunkers, not on X.

I hope the people of Iran are released from living under tyranny. I hope the peoples of the Middle East can live in peace.
I hope the takeaway for any would-be terrorist is the realisation that October 7 might not have been such a good idea.
I hope that with the Middle East stabilised, the US can turn its attentions to the theatres that really matters to the security of the West: Russia and China.

Whether any of that happens remains to be seen and it seems the hardest thing for anyone to do is to not express an opinion before the smoke has cleared.

Two Ayatollahs: Dead

Salman Rushdie: Alive.

[Iman Jalali @Stealx]

Khamenei is dead. Good.

But I have family in Iran. My dad is there right now. And I'm not celebrating yet. Here's why.

Iran built the most layered contingency plan on Earth for this exact moment. Four levels of succession for every key position. Pre-authorized military strikes. Regional commanders who don't need orders from Tehran to act.

As you read this, there is already a new Supreme Leader. We just don't know who.

This isn't Maduro. The government didn't get overthrown. The system absorbed the hit. That's what it was designed to do.

Every credible intel assessment says the same thing: a post-Khamenei Iran is more likely to get harder, not softer. More IRGC. More dangerous. Potentially worse for the Iranian people than Khamenei himself.

Don't breathe yet. There's a long way to go.
