Here's an idea: drop a few thousand free starlink receivers with strong wifi signals into residential areas.

Who knows? Perhaps Iran is the next South Korea.
DL gives it a month.
You?

10 years.

Much better odds than with Iraq or Afghanistan.

Iranian regime long and mid range rockets supply was estimated as about 3000.
With current usage rate it will dry out in a month.

Most of the Iranian missiles are launched from trucks so when the IDF and US blow up these trucks it reduces capability to fire more missiles.

There are MILLIONS of the buggers, both for and against!!! Millions. Who knew? Not the ABS, that's for sure. The great replacement is for real. Tsk, tsk Roll Eyes

If you’re wondering what mass third world migration looks like in practice, this happened on Sunday in MANASSAS, Virginia. It is happening in Sydney, too:

Seventy-two Virginians honouring their leader.

The west's political class did this to their citizens. The men who stab, shoot, rape and run over do not have to have a uranium-enrichment programme. They just have to be - in increasing numbers, day on day - and they will win everything. Is there an "Epic Fury" to attend to that?

Probably the Bible belt, old boy. They're forced to obey DL, you see.

That's a free society for you. If you do jihad, you get the Epstein class in power, endless wars, tax cuts for billionaires and, insh'allah, 72 virginians in paradise.

We will make America great again, no?

Can't they just fly bigger aircraft at a higher altitude, out of range of whatever air defences the Iranians still have?

Flight radar shows over 25 B52 bombers left USA earlier today heading towards Middle East.

Bringing B52s into play shows the US isn't that worried about air defences in Iran.

Starmer didn't let Trump use any UK bases for initial attack he has changed now allowing it.

Saudis Qatar UAE and Bahrain are pissed off with Iran since their missiles hit civilian areas vowing retaliation maybe they will backflip on letting US use their US bases there to attack Iran. The largest US base is in Qatar.
Saudis moving troops into Bahrain to squash any Shiite uprising there.

Hearing reports IDF and Mossad agents have entered Iran not confirmed probably just gathering intel for air strikes at this stage.

IRGC Basij and Police building along with a few mosques destroyed these regime members are now moving into schools and hospitals and using buses.

Iranians are keeping their kids away from schools.
Iran wrote the book for Hamas to follow with basing troops in schools

Hi
@UN @UNHumanRights and @Europarl_EN

Why is the the Islamic Republic in Iran holding their meetings and media interviews in elementary schools?

Is this the act of a legitimate government, or a terrorist mafia organization that has occupied Iran?

https://x.com/Savakzadeh/status/2028791477501895006

Still early days King Reza and the IDF have advised Iranians to stay home at this time.

The big problem for regime change is people are unarmed against regime thugs with guns.

The only hope is that the army turns against the IRGC.

They outnumber them.

Not hearing any complaints about civilian casualties generally people are in awe of the accuracy of the IDF and US.
Saw one good video with laser designator bomb landed exactly where laser lit up.

Lots saying they're OK being collateral damage if it takes out Islamic regime they even tag Trump with this saying the Islamic regime would be blamed.

The Islamic regime disarmed everyone the Taliban also disarmed everyone when they took over.

Not confirmed hearing reports Kurds in Western Iran are currently being armed for ground operation which ties into other reports of support for separatists.

I should add no coalition soldiers were killed or wounded in Kurdish part of Iraq in the Iraq war.

I’m writing this through a connection so small it feels like a crack in the window.
99% of the country can’t even get online that’s why you don't see videos or images from inside.

In Tehran and Karaj, every time people hear an explosion, they cheer from their windows and rooftops.
They chant slogans and celebrate because another terrorist base of the regime has been hit.

I’m sure the rest of Iran is exactly the same.
To all honorable Iranians abroad:
Be our voice
louder and more decisive than ever.
Take to the streets and flood the internet with one clear demand:
Trump
DO NOT STOP the attacks.

Right now every mosque and religious gathering hall has been turned into military bases for the IRGC and repression forces.
At Tehran’s Mosalla, dozens of repression vehicles are parked and being prepared.Prove to
@realDonaldTrump

@netanyahu

@IDF

@CENTCOM

that these are no longer religious sites
they are official regime military bases.
Bomb them.
The people of Iran do NOT want these places anymore.
This has nothing to do with religion they have become fortresses of terror and must be destroyed.

Also strike the homes of the reformists they are the main anti-Israel and anti-America operators inside the regime.
My connection is too slow to push this properly so please tag everyone you can.

We will take to the streets at the right moment.
We will win.
Long live Iran!
Javid shah

When the IRGC was arresting, torturing and killing peaceful Iranian protesters, where were UNICEF, Amnesty International, and the United Nations?

Where were the emergency sessions then?

For years, Iranians were beaten in the streets and silenced by their own regime. The outrage was muted.

But the moment Israel and the United States move against that same regime, suddenly all these fake humanitarians find their voices.

Press releases. Condemnations. Urgency.

Does that look consistent to anyone?

If human rights matter, they should matter when Iranians are being crushed - not only when Israel is involved.

It took over thirty minutes just to upload this.
That alone tells you everything.

This is not rumor.
This is not exile fantasy.
This is the ground truth.

Mehrshahr, Karaj.
Dawn of Sunday, 10 Esfand.
People celebrating in the streets after the news of #Khamenei's death.

Not fear. Not chaos.
Relief. Joy. Release—after decades of suffocation.

And be certain of this: when the time comes, we will be in those streets, taking our country back once and for all.
We are not there yet—because we have been told to stay home and wait for the moment by
@PahlaviReza, @POTUS, and @netanyahu
.

This is who Iranians are when the boot lifts from their throat.
Do not believe the regime’s propaganda machine.
Believe the people you see.

Here is the original full length video from the lady in Iran that CNN used.

It was on Elons X 2 days ago.
