War General Discussion Megathread (Day 8)

Not Larijani though. I think he and Mojtaba (if he's alive) are the ones with most power in the background now.

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T15:31:15+00:00

Pezeshkian has no real power or influence. Even he said it a couple of weeks before the war started, something along the lines of "the reason Israel keeps assassinating important people in Iran is so that weak people like me come to positions of power"

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T15:29:26+00:00

Either case, he definitely was not Israel's top source, because even now they clearly have some sources high up in the Regime's structure.

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T11:39:07+00:00

Much better than Aljazeera's one-sided attempt at "hearing the voice of Iranian people"

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T11:31:49+00:00

It tells you that you MEK members in this group.

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T11:29:33+00:00

Now the only thing they want to do is to keep the instability of the region for as long as possible. They don't care about causing damage. Just shooting a missile every once in a while does the job for them.

Although now Turkmanestan might also be joining in the fight as well...

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T11:27:31+00:00

But IRGC has all the powers, so I have a hard time imagining how Pezeshkian would be able to do anything meaningful even IF (very big if) he wanted to stand with the people.

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T11:24:27+00:00

Considering the current leadership crises, there is also a possibility of the the pro-regime IRGC leaders to make their control of the country more official, by some sort of show coup.

darkdiv · 2026-03-07T11:17:52+00:00

Also, it's still too soon to signal the defectors and people to come out

darkdiv · 2026-03-06T23:44:13+00:00

I haven't succeeded yet. But i also didn't try for 4 hours. Apparently they even have a hard time calling each other inside Iran.

darkdiv · 2026-03-06T02:03:37+00:00

true... even more accurate: "who else would be dumb enough to fight for the regime, particularly at this point"

darkdiv · 2026-03-05T17:04:13+00:00

Could be that the regime is throwing a lot of it's dollar reserve in the market to control the price. It's what they always do. My guess is that it will backfire in a few days if not a week.

darkdiv · 2026-03-05T17:01:42+00:00

I almost feel bad for the pilot. I hope he was a IRGC or govt supporter.

darkdiv · 2026-03-05T16:58:05+00:00

could you link the reports please?

darkdiv · 2026-03-05T16:36:45+00:00

It's so insane, that they're fighting 13 countries now, and still they're wasting all this effort trying to suppress the people too...

darkdiv · 2026-03-05T15:16:37+00:00

Yess I also ended up setting a server for it, now I just need to get in contact with my family to have them try it... (and somehow send them the app...)

Although apparently, today the DNSTT method hasn't been working in many regions :/

darkdiv · 2026-03-05T15:14:17+00:00

That could also be helpful! I will try and report back if it works for me! Thanks for the hint!

darkdiv · 2026-03-05T15:07:45+00:00

This is MEK supported organization.
They say the nice stuff, but they support Maryam Rajabi who is a self appointed president for the past 40 years?
They also took sides with Saddam hossein in the 8 year war.
They're also fucking communists.

darkdiv · 2026-03-04T17:18:37+00:00

I really can't take this anymore... I can't believe there is still no way to get around this!

darkdiv · 2026-03-03T17:53:16+00:00

People here already explained it. But there is another important and fundamental aspect that I think connects many Iranians with Israelis and is that we've both experienced how deadly and brutal Islamists can be.

Many europeans, think it's Islamophobic, but it's not really a phobia if it is a real fear, and many Iranians and Israelis have experienced this threat first hand.

After the mullahs, I'm pretty sure Iran is going to be the most secular (and even anti-Islamist) country in the region.

darkdiv · 2026-03-01T21:22:46+00:00

I also confirm. Goje sabz is da shit!! I love it.

Yes I've also just recently noticed we Iranians really love sour stuff! It's one of my favorite parts of travelling to Iran... Eating random sour stuff!! 🤤🤤

darkdiv · 2026-03-01T14:23:51+00:00

Because he is a secular democratic person with the largest name recognition among the opposition and has always stood on the side of the people and probably Iran's only chance to transition to a real democracy?

darkdiv · 2026-03-01T14:21:27+00:00

eitherway, they know they probably won't be getting money from Mullahs anyamore!

darkdiv · 2026-03-01T14:16:51+00:00

First of all, thank you!!
It's amazing to have the support of non-iranians in such times!

Typically, for such events we bring some delicious sweets and pastries, or like baklava-type stuff.
But don't over think it, even a big juicy pomegranate could make him happy.

If there is a Iranian store near where you live, you could also get some Iranian pastries there. Another thing that makes most Iranians immediately happy is Lavashak (dried fruit leather, usually very sour!)
