My latest in @ForeignPolicy:. Israel launched a war to break Iran—.one of the boldest military campaigns in its history. But it backfired. And it may have made everything far more dangerous. 🧵 Here’s what went wrong. >>>

Let’s not forget: America was founded by radical revolutionaries—many in their 20s—who risked everything to change an unjust status quo. Saw this at @NMAAHC last weekend. One of the best museums in DC.

Seymour Hersh’s source says even if Fordow’s centrifuges survived, without Isfahan’s conversion capacity, Iran can’t weaponize its uranium. So: "glass half-full" for US. But there is no verification—and 400 lbs of 60%-enriched uranium are unaccounted for.

این تحلیل از سوی یک تحلیلگر چینی مستقر در پکن ارائه شده است:. اخیراً بحث‌های زیادی درباره تمایل ایران به خرید جنگنده‌های J10-C چین مطرح شده، و برخی از ایرانی‌ها نیز خواهان انتقال فناوری از سوی چین هستند — چیزی که آشکارا غیرممکن است. پیش‌تر نیز، به دلیل امتناع چین از انتقال.
Recently, there have been many discuss about Iran wanting to purchase China's J10-c, and some Iranians are also demanding that China transfer technology, which is obviously impossible. Previously, because China refused to transfer technology, Indonesia did not choose China's

The UANI authors and former Atlantic Council editor behind this drivel in general push the laziest, most dishonest takes on Iran in DC. Cheap propaganda driven by grudges. It’s really a racket. American foreign policy built on this garbage is doomed to fail.

There’s currently a disturbing wave of xenophobia and mass deportations targeting Afghan migrants in Iran. Let’s not forget who helped fan the flames: racist, clueless “analysis” published in US think tanks like @AtlanticCouncil. Shameful.
This article by UANI analysts published in @ACMideast is steeped in racist attitudes towards Afghans in Iran, making baseless allegations that resemble the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theories prevalent in the US and Europe regarding immigration.

Wait—I thought Iran was the source of all regional instability & now it’s been neutered?. Why is Israel pushing to annex the West Bank, risking the destabilization of Jordan and other Arab neighbors?. Almost like… it was never just about Iran for the Israeli expansionists?.
🚨Netanyahu's coalition is pushing for immediate annexation of the West Bank in return for Trump's Gaza ceasefire deal. Formal annexation is expected to begin this summer, amid record demolitions of Palestinian homes that recently saw a 50% jump

We’re watching something break in this country. The same leaders backing genocide abroad are gutting the programs that hold us together—healthcare, housing, food—enriching themselves while our communities unravel. The result: a poorer, angrier, more divided nation by the day.

It’s alarming that academics like Max Abrahms defend what most genocide scholars say is genocide in Gaza—by a state most human rights groups deem apartheid. Worse, by targeting those who speak out, he not only helps enable the slaughter but endangers its critics. Reprehensible.
Even more alarming is the question states that globalize the intifada is often interpreted as violence against (American) Jews.
