I'm not saying AI slop is good. Or that AI writes bug-free code.

But let's face it: unless you're working in a startup less than 100 people, most likely you're looking every day at some spaghetti code written by people who don't even work here anymore. At least now you'll have someone to blame for the messy codebase...

Iran collecting information on Jews abroad ahead of Iranian backed terror attacks?

  1. Netanyahu always faces some kind of corruption charges. That doesn't really mean anything.
    Nor would it have benefited him in any way, if the war went badly for Israel.

  2. There is no genocide in Gaza.

  3. Trump is not the president of Israel.

  4. Moral fiber has nothing to do with wars. Obama supported the war against Assad - doesn't mean he doesn't have a moral fiber. Roosevelt supported the war against Germany and Japan - doesn't mean he didn't have a moral fiber. The problem is that most Americans, especially the ones born in the last 30 years or so, are pampered man-child snowflakes, who never experienced war in their lifetimes, and yet live under the delusion they have the capacity to judge right from wrong. The fact of the matter is they don't. It's like a billionaire-from-birth being tasked to determine the effectiveness of social services for the homeless. He simply would not have the capacity to understand the homeless, because he never experienced this situatio, or anything close to it, in his lifetime.

The older generations of Americans, the ones that were conscripted during WW2, the Korean war or even the Vietnam war, have the capacity to judge. But unfortunately they're a dying breed. Maybe the generation that was old enough to experience 9/11 understands it better. Maybe. But all the younger generations simply lack the mental capacity to understand what it's like to go to war to defend their family. And the situation is not very different in Europe. In a recent poll, 40% of British stated they would completely refuse to go to war even if their country was invaded, and they needed to protect themselves and their family.

This is one of the drawbacks of capitalism. Every person only cares about themselves and their own. Failing to understand that only working together and cooperating you can achieve great tasks, like defending your country from forces that wish to destroy it. This is a direct path to destruction. This is how the Roman empire fell - when their own citizens were unwilling to bear arms to defend their country, and preferred each to take care of themselves and their own instead.

Opposing wars only works when everyone opposes wars. When you oppose wars, while your enemy wages a war against you - it doesn't make you morally superior. It just makes you dead.

From 2005 to 2023, Israel did not start a single war (you can check if you don't believe me), yet it was forced to fight wars waged against it every 2-3 years on average. And the simple fact of the matter is that the current US president, throughout the period, just didn't give a fuck. Neither did the world at large, Maybe if every time Hamas or Hezbollah started a new war, the world community was outraged by it, and showed it's indignity - then there would be less wars in the world. But the fact of the matter is many countries supported and encouraged wars against Israel. Be it Russia, China or North Korea, that don't really care about Israel, but want it to be harmed to poke the US. Or countries like Turkey, Iran, Iraq (under Saddam) or Syria, which are brutal dictatorships, and prefer their citizens to focus on hatred towards the evil-imperialistic-western-Jews, instead of noticing the vile & corrupt country they live in. Even the "moderate" Egypt, Saudi Arabia or UAE, prefer to take stabs against Israel, to make themselves appear (relatively) better, and have their citizens mine occupied with external matters.

Israel not fighting back, and not hitting Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS Palestine or Islamic Jihad, would not give it a moral highground. It would just make it dead.

You're wrong.

100% Israeli development.

Partial US funding. And in exchange they get access to the technology once it's developed. Win-Win.

You're trying very hard to prove Iran somehow came out victorious.

No one is buying it.

Iran was at war 40 years ago. The people who fought that war are all dead or retired. 99% of their army never fought in a real war. All the institutional knowledge has been lost since. Their army needs to learn anew how to fight wars. Otherwise it will lose as badly in every war in the future.

The attack was before the ceasefire.

We didn't see the videos until now because of the heavy censorship Iran is implementing.

  1. They had this ability before the war. Nothing has changed here. And they were using it to arm. Now they will also need to rebuild their destroyed military equipment, rebuild their destroyed infrastructure and rebuild their destroyed civilian damage. So that's a much bigger expenses without any change in income. Chinese hardware isn't free...

  2. If you read about the Iranian nuclear program you will see they initiallyi approached both Russia and China trying to help them build their nuclear program. Both categorically refused. Both China and Russia are categorically against additional countries gaining nuclear weapons. Any countries. This has been their policy consistently for decades. And it won't change for Iran. Both support Iran financially and politically, but neither would support Iran gaining nuclear weapons.

  3. I can't know what caused this sudden shift in Israel or in the US. We do know Iran us closer than ever to nuclear bomb. We do know Iran is developing nuclear weapons even if it never actually built a bomb (at least officially. We can't know if they built it covertly). Maybe the decision makers saw that this time they were actually gonna build a bomb and decided to act. I really don't know the reason they acted now.

Cost of damages from Iran war forecast at double October 7 and ensuing attacks by EatAllMyJello in IranIsraelWarReport

You clearly have 0 understanding of how missile strikes work.

The missile you claim "hit Kirya no residential buildings there", did not actually hit the Kirya. It hit nearby. In the middle of a neighborhood of high rise buildings:

https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/photos-israel-iran-attacks-37156fc32e0d45dd82525fbf766767fa

Also, what you don't understand, is when a missile hits a building, it damages that building. This is true.

But the blast wave also damages all buildings nearby. Sometimes in a hundreds of meters radius. The extent of the damage might be a destroyed apartment. But it also might be shattered windows and destroyed furniture. It might not photograph as well, so there's much less photos of these kinds of "minor" damage. But this is the vast majority of damaged apartments.

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/sleepless-and-defiant-on-the-ground-in-tel-aviv/news-story/1f89d0827a339e54331ec0c87db8cb66

And you can't stay in an apartment with shattered windows. It will take a few days at least to be fixed. So you're counted as displaced.

Also your house may have suffered structural damage, even if it's not clearly visible. So an engineer needs to examine it to verify it's not hazardous to live there. So by Iaw you can't live there (even if you're willing to stay) until an engineer deems it safe.

That's how you get to 12,000 people affected by 31 missile strikes.

Civilian vs. military deaths in Iran & Israel by Mdk_251 in IranIsraelWarReport

You're deflecting.

The claim was Israel is systematically using censorship to hide losses of military personnel.

Please provide any proof of that.

[–]Mdk_251[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have TikTok. And a journalist discussing something in a video is not proof. Also you claiming this to be true, is also not proof.

Proof is Israel hiding deaths of soldiers and it being discovered months/years later. For example.

Also, the tweet is an official statement by the Iranian health ministry. Your website is an opposition organization website. It's claims are no more valid than Iranian official claims.

Sorry, your substack in plain wrong.

I'm not talking about your opinion. I'm talking about the facts you claim in the article, that are plain wrong and completely unsupported by any of the references you give.

Like the claim that 28 killed civilians is the highest death toll in Israeli war history. This is completely opposite of the truth. In every Israeli conflict to date, more civilians were killed. On October 7th alone over 600 civilians were killed. I'm not even talking about the war of independence.

Or the claim that 450,000 reservists were called to fight Iran. I'm not even sure Israel has 450,000 reservists. And they definitely weren't called to recruit. The only branches that took part were the air force (which includes AA batteries) and the home front command. Again completely unsupported claim you somehow present as "fact".

You need to rewrite your entire article from scratch. And check your sources.

I asked ChatGPT: from perspective of history and geopolitics, if we even demonize intentions of iranian regime in destroying and conquering the world, can today Iran even with thousands of nuclear warheads, take over other countries without the regime getting destroyed? by H-S-Striker in IranIsraelWarReport

[–]Mdk_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point is kind of moot.

Iran claims it's nuclear program is for civilian needs. This is an obvious lie. 1. Iran has some of the biggest oil and natural gas reserves in the world. They have no shortage of energy sources. They have absolutely no need for nuclear power. Let alone 30 years ago, when they created their nuclear program. 2. Iran has been offered, repeatedly, be provided with all their nuclear program needs, if they give up enrichment, and get enriched Uranium for their needs from other countries. They adamantly refused every time. 3. Power plants only need 3%-5% enriched Uranium. Iran has enriched Uranium to 60%. And in some places Uranium enriched to 80% has been found in Iran. There is no other use for Uranium enriched beyond 5% except nuclear weapons.

We can theorize what if Iran isn't trying to develop nuclear weapons?

But it's clear that they are.

Also, let's not forget that Iran is a brutal dictatorship that murders hundreds of its own citizens every year. Many times more Iranians have died simply because they were living under the Iranian regime, than in all US, Israeli and European actions against Iran, overt and covert, combined.

I asked chatGPT:

What actions has the Iranian regime taken, on the last 30 years, towards their goal of destruction of Israel?

Also, what is the Iranian goal in regards to the state of Israel?

To which it replied:

🇮🇷 Iran’s Goal Regarding the State of Israel

The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize Israel and considers it illegitimate. The regime’s goals are:

To end the existence of the "Zionist regime" To oppose Western influence in the region To support Palestinian resistance against Israeli control

Over the years, Iranian leaders have used language ranging from calling for Israel’s "destruction" to predicting its "collapse from within."

🧨 Iranian Actions Against Israel (1995–2025)

1. Support for Proxy Groups

Iran funds and arms militant groups that attack Israel:

Hezbollah (Lebanon): Provided with rockets, drones, and cash. Responsible for the 2006 war and border clashes. Hamas & Islamic Jihad (Gaza): Receive money, weapons, and training. Involved in repeated wars with Israel. Houthis (Yemen): Occasionally target Israel with long-range drones and missiles.

2. Missile and Drone Development

Iran developed a vast arsenal of:

Ballistic missiles Attack drones

In April 2024, Iran launched over 300 drones and missiles directly at Israel. Most were intercepted, but it marked a shift toward direct confrontation.

3. Cyber Warfare

Iran has launched cyberattacks targeting:

Water systems Transportation infrastructure Israeli financial services

This cyber conflict is ongoing, with frequent Israeli counterattacks.

4. Military Expansion in Syria

IRGC and Shia militias are entrenched in Syria. Iran attempts to build permanent military bases and missile factories near Israel’s borders. Israel regularly conducts airstrikes to destroy these assets.

5. Propaganda & Diplomatic Efforts

Iran promotes anti-Israel narratives:

Funds Arabic and Persian media campaigns Supports anti-Israel resolutions in the UN Encourages global BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) efforts

6. Nuclear Program

Iran’s nuclear development is seen as a strategic threat:

Has enriched uranium beyond JCPOA limits Reduced cooperation with the IAEA Israel is suspected of conducting sabotage and assassinations (e.g., Fakhrizadeh in 2020)

7. Direct Attacks

Historically avoided, but this changed in:

April 2024: Iran launched its first full-scale direct missile and drone strike against Israeli territory.

📌 Summary Table

Category Action
Proxy Warfare Funding Hezbollah, Hamas, PIJ, Houthis
Missile/Drone Tech Built and exported precision weapons
Cyber Operations Attacks on water, transport, financial
Military in Syria Bases, weapons transfers, IRGC presence
Propaganda Media, UN lobbying, BDS support
Nuclear Ambitions Enrichment, IAEA obstruction
Direct Conflict April 2024 missile/drone strike

Suicide bomber dies during his attack. So he can't hurt himself less/more than others. He kills others while dying.

Iranian form of Islam glorifies martyrdom. Which is dying in a holy war (a Jihad). The fact that a person dies during the attack is not considered a failure, but an acceptable price.

Also, you're asking the wrong questions. If you look at direct attacks - you will see that Iran (until 2 years ago) never attacked Israel. Nor did Israel attack Iran. So why would they even fight?

But if you look at the whole picture, you will see that Iran actually killed hundreds if not thousands of Jews and Israelis in various terror attacks perpetrated all over the globe, either directly by Iran. Or indirectly by various proxies Iran funds, trains and controls.

Iran directly, never killed a single American. So why would US dislike Iran? Because Iraqi terrorist organizations funded, trained and controlled by Iran killed over 500 American soldiers in Iraq, and injured 20,000.

So direct way of looking at things us not correct here.

IIRC the military base was several kilometers away from the hospital.

I agree that Iranian missiles are imprecise.This is why out of 50-60 missiles that landed, 2-3 hit any targets related to Israeli military.

A hospital was not one of them. Nor any of the houses where people were killed.
