Iran could have de-escalated every single day but chose to do the opposite.

This is significant:  

Biden made clear to Netanyahu that the US will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran, MJ Lee to me on the air just now.

In other news, the Three Body Problem on Netflix is terrific.

A few days ago I saw a woman walking around with a kaffiyeh over her shoulders. And a mask. There seems to be a correlation in the US between being militantly pro Pal and, I guess, militant about COVID. I don't understand it.

I'm deeply suspicious of any claims about how much the Iranian people supports its regime. Many clearly don't. But what's the percentage? No one knows, certainly not outsiders. Hopefully most oppose it, and that might be true, but all the evidence ultimately is anecdotal.

This is Iran's missile arsenal.

It has thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles.

Tonight it decided to use dozens of them, Israeli media reporting interception of 100 ballistic missiles.

As an Iranian I strongly condemn the drone and missile attack by Islamic regime against Israel. Now, there is no excuse for the EU not to designate the Islamic Republic Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization. This regime is causing massive suffering in the region. Iran…

Guy who funded Iron Dome, David's Sling, and the Arrow-3 missile defense systems to the hilt and saved untold innocent lives today and in multiple previous conflicts: Barack Obama.

Seems Iran trying to “save face” with its domestic audience, while not actually, thank g-d, having caused much damage, according to initial reports

The attack on Israeli territory that Iran launched tonight is unjustifiable and highly irresponsible. Iran risks a further escalation in the region. Germany stands by Israel and we will discuss the situation with our allies.

For years I have said the fates of Iranians and Israelis are uniquely intertwined. We have common hopes for peace, but are denied it by a common enemy: the Islamic Republic. This regime poses an existential threat to both Iran and Israel that will continue as long as this regime…

💥28 launches at Golan Heights from Lebanon

Back to post-🇺🇸-🇯🇵 summit reality: “The latest data adds to an already very top-heavy population pyramid…The number of under-15s in 🇯🇵 is at a record low of 11.4% of the overall population, while the number of over-65s is at a record high of 29.1%.” on.ft.com/49AcwNw

A combination of Israeli missile-defense systems and fighter-jets (operated it seems by more than one country) have intercepted the first waves of drones and missiles launched by Iran. So far 1 Israeli wounded. The west should be providing this level of defense to Ukraine as well

One thing that fascinates me is how many people who ostensibly are hostile to jihadists groups in Africa or maybe Afghanistan are somehow totally ok with Hamas, Hiz, and Iran.

Seeing plenty of old videos from the Middle East plus some video game footage going viral tonight, mostly posted by accounts seeking clout and engagement during a major news event by spreading misinformation and fear.

Double-check everything you see online tonight.
