    I think most of the Twitter intel astros shares is indeed fake. Might be thematically true, but pretending people said aloud things they never said aloud. If you click through to the Twitter post, the user context explains that was an opinion posted by a user on a media website. Not a statement from anyone in government. Smart dude and educated on the topics, but too eager to find the raw intelligence and stumbling into misinformation all the time. I wouldn't trust any of his Twitter drops.

    My default position, with a few exceptions, is that anything from social media is fake until shown otherwise.

    I gave that claim a chance because a similar statement was made before the war (in 2025).

    Public statement from early 2025:

    “We are not moving towards (nuclear) weapons, but if you do something wrong in the Iranian nuclear issue, you will force Iran to move towards that because it has to defend itself,” Khamenei’s adviser Ali Larijani told state TV.

    “Iran does not want to do this, but … (it) will have no choice,” he added.

    “If at some point you (the US) move towards bombing by yourself or through Israel, you will force Iran to make a different decision.”

    The claim originates from a user-submitted post on Fars News, not an official article by the state media outlet

    Trump is ready for more TACOs, making more concessions.



    After U.S.-Iran War, US Allied Oman Said to Propose Hormuz Fee Plan


    Under the proposal, Iran and Oman would collect payment for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

    Oman recently delivered a formal proposal to the United States and other Western allies that outlined a plan in which
    shipping companies would pay service fees to use the strait, according to the Iranian official and a regional diplomat.

    Oman’s proposal is partly modeled on arrangements in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, an Asian waterway where
    a private foundation collects voluntary contributions for safe navigation, the regional diplomat said.​

    What in the hell are you talking about. Fars did post an article about the need for iran to have nuclear weapons. Fars is a propaganda arm of the IRGC who is ruling Iran right now. I never said it's the official policy of the Iranian government but it's foolish to think IRGC doesn't influence the agency.

    What misinformation have I posted in this thread? Go ahead and post to my specific post cuz you look foolish trying to call me out about something that's factually true

    Anything you see on FARS is IRGC propaganda. They don't publish OPeds out of the blue.

    Is this Trump being delusional? or Trump showing dementia?

    Hard to know for sure either way.

    All I know is Witkoff and Kushner have so many conflicting interests they have no business still being negotiators. They haven't done crap anyway, other than make money off their ties in the Middle East. It was like when Trump put Kushner in charge of COVID. What a joke that was.
