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...>>>
آخر توانایی هستند مکررا خودشون توی ٣ دهک بالا ارزیابی می‌کنند. همه ما با این پدیده در زندگی روزمره مواجه هستیم و البته یکی از دلایل وضعیت فعلی کشوره! این بزرگواری که تصمیم گرفت ما مهدی حسن فارغ‌التحصیل آکسفورد و روزنامه‌نگار برجسته مناظره کنه دقیقا دچار همین سندروم!
پدیده دانینگ کروگر برای اولین بار توسط دو روانشناس دانشگاه کرنل مطالعه و تذوین شد.جرقه این تحقیقات رو فردی به نام Wheeler زد که فکر میکرد اب لیمو نامرییش میکنه و دو بانک رو زد،یک جا هم زل میزنه توی دوربین بانک و لبخند میزنه. این مطالعات به صورت علمی نشون داد که افرادی که در دهک/
Very sophisticated spyware—comparable to Pegasus—has been found on Iranians' phones, including dissidents & tech workers. The culprit is unknown, but as with Stuxnet, once cyberweapons are unleashed, they don’t stay contained. They spread—and get used by whoever’s capable.
The attacks mark the first known example of such highly advanced cyber-espionage tools being used both inside Iran and against Iranians living abroad. It’s not clear who was behind the attacks. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
یک دلیل این که طرف احساس می‌کند می‌تواند آن حرف‌ها را بزند، ایزوله بودن است یعنی شما اگر چهار بار در چهار تا جمع غیر از حباب آبی خودت مزخرف بگویی و حذف شوی تازه یاد می‌گیری که مسجد جای این کارها نیست، ولی خوب، دیاسپورای ایرانی از چنین تنعمی محروم است!
تهش آدم دلش می‌سوزه. نتیجه‌ی حکمرانی تو ایرانه؟ تربیتِ «من‌وتو»، «ایران اینترنشنال» و رضا پهلوی؟ رسیدیم به جایی که یه عده ایرانی انقدر بی‌هویت و بی‌انسانیت شدن که نژادپرستای افراطی آمریکا هم با تعجب و مخالفت سر تکون می‌دن!

Leading Iranian Islamic scholar Seyyed Hossein Nasr reminds us: For centuries, Iran integrated its pre-Islamic heritage with Islam, producing some of the greatest minds in Muslim history. The idea that "Iranian" and "Islamic" identities are in conflict is a modern invention.
A new “Shia nationalism” appears to be taking shape in Iran—an explicitly hybrid identity promoted by the state that sees the foreign enemy as a point of unity. It claims lineage from both Cyrus and Karbala, defending the homeland and the faith as one.
Here’s how stupid former Secretary of State Antony Blinken thinks you are: Watch him tell @amanpour that the war could have ended if pro-Palestinian protestors had just called for Hamas to disarm and release the hostages.
Amanpour challenged former Secretary of State Blinken on whether the U.S. has enabled Israeli war crimes by shielding it diplomatically and militarily, despite claiming to oppose civilian suffering. She highlighted here the disconnect between private U.S. frustrations and public…
Israel used Al-Sharra’s passivity to expand. It's exploiting the Druze—it seems especially through Hikmat al-Hijri—for deeper incursions. Will it settle for southern Syria? Its actions betray broader goals over the whole country, to its border with Iraq.
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has said that protecting the country’s Druze citizens and their rights is a priority, as he announced that local leaders will take control of security in the city of Suwayda aje.io/ehvey2
It’s no coincidence that Israel targets both Syria & Iran when they try to thaw relations with the US & Europe. When diplomacy threatens to reduce tensions, Israel lashes out—using American power to sabotage American foreign policy. Israel is a strategic liability for the US.
ایشون وقت آزادشونو به چه کاری می‌گذرونند/گذرونده‌اند که در حد شرکت‌کنندگان عشق ابدی هم با عناصر بنیادی فرهنگ ایران آشنا نیستند؟ نخواستیم حافظ از بر بخونند، حتی با «ای ایران» نمی‌تونند لب بزنند؟!
- ای ایران بخوان + من بلد نیستم
That Israel is launching these attacks to protect the Druze strains credulity. This is Israel's "mowing the lawn" strategy at play, designed to keep its neighbors weak and in a state of chaos. This is a recipe for endless violence, subsidized by US taxpayers
