“I don’t think that that’s something that would have been said on TV so quickly in 2017,” @melmason.bsky.social said.
“Just the fact that we are seeing this massive difference between June 2025 and March 2026 really speaks to the fact that this is a train going at full speed, and there isn't very many safety features on board,” said @mahsaalimardani.bsky.social of @witnessorg.bsky.social.

Washington HITS Iran, then acts OFFENDED when Iran touches the leverage Washington forced it to use. The US wants Iran to absorb attacks, bury its dead, lose its leaders — and still keep the Strait of Hormuz open like nothing happened. You don’t get to light the fire and complain about the smoke.
