Hezbollah will not intervene militarily if the United States directs "limited" strikes at Iran, senior official say. -AFP

The rumours about Turkey making plans to send troops into Western Iran in case of an American intervention are extremely worrying. Don't believe anything the Turkish government says about "stabilising the area". This is about going after the Iranian Kurds.

Just found out a relative or two of my dad were arrested. Apparently what happened was that they said jāvīd šāh on loudspeaker presumably on the regime anniversary and were promptly arrested for it.

I am confident that Erdogan will find a way to blame it all on the Kurds

You remember this guy? The New York Times has reported that the supreme leader has granted him extended power to secure the future of the regime. Larijani is getting ready to lead. Yes, he’s the same guy who quietly met Putin last month. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/w...

1. We have a radical fascist regime in charge. 2. Iranians have repeatedly said they do not want nuclear energy. 3. Nuclear power no longer carries prestige. 4. The solution to one country having nukes is never another nuclear-armed country. 5. We have more than enough sun and wind for renewables.

There is additional, mostly rumour-based, information about this. Apparently, figures such as Radan, the police chief of the Islamic regime, and Ejei, the head of the judiciary, have been spending their nights at hospitals in Tehran, likely to shelter from targeted attacks.

Iranians are in the same situation we Ukrainians find ourselves in: a lot of people who claim to care about us usually don't want ho hear our opinions.

Your concerns about how the US and Israel conduct their wars are understandable and may even be valid. Just please don’t hide behind supposed concern for the Iranian people. You care about Iranians just as much as they do: none.

It is bold to assume the US military will base its strategy today on a list prepared by the FDD and published in 2024. This kind of rhetoric only serves to echo a specific narrative, one that does not care about the Iranian people. x.com/FDD/status/1...

U.S. strikes on Iranian regime sites could come as early as this weekend, according to sources familiar with the planning. The sources add that President Trump has not yet made a final decision.-Politico

👀 Large US refueler componet there.... Bulgaria's Sofia International Airport will be closed for all flights except military flights on February 23rd from 0115 to 0250, and again on the 24th from 0105 to 0335.

There’s also more credible news courtesy of Iran International that many IR’s military and security personnel have begun holding their meetings in the healthcare facilities of Tehrān which has the healthcare professionals worried.

The severity and scale of the massacre committed by the regime in January are still largely unknown. It’s been more than 6 weeks, and we’re still seeing new horrific images and endless stories. It’s going to be years before we can even begin to understand what happened.

What’s the rush for? Let’s wait another month to be deeply concerned.

Does anyone know of a close associate of Trump who opposes military strikes on Iran?

Kind of amazing how 30 years into this so much geopolitics discourse still hasn't got its head around American energy self-sufficiency and the growing diversification of global energy supplies away from the Middle East

The Israeli strikes are proving to be a major turning point, including in Iran’s internal affairs. A substantial portion of the unaffiliated middle realised that the regime is incapable of defending itself against a serious external threat, and for many, that realisation marked the breaking point.

This is getting a bit too much to be waved off as another of Trump's Grand Old Duke of York moments

What the Islamic regime did during the 2022–2023 protests was a crackdown. What it did this year was a massacre. Please stop using the word “crackdown” when describing what happened in Iran last month.

There’s a military truck just a few steps away from him, and a gunman shooting at anything that moves, yet he shouts “Death to Khamenei” without a crack in his voice. Go and tell him the analysts and experts said this regime won’t fall.
