Another evidence free accusation and an assumption that Iran would start a conflict on their own shoreline.
"US military aircraft overhead recorded a full motion video of an Iranian boat moving alongside one of the stricken tankers and removing an unexploded limpet mine from its hull."

...cuz video is so hard to show these days. cnn.com/2019/06/13/pol…
Ah yes...those secret Iranian magnetic mines that you place above the waterline from a small boat on oil tankers while not being filmed....and then remove after you blow up the ship while being filmed. ...muuuuhhhhwwwwaaaah.

Remember when Robert Mercer and the gang got all Bannoned up so they could get somebody in the White House to help shaving down that pesky tax bill ...of $7 billion? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"Renaissance Technologies allegedly tried to transform short-term trades into long-term ones (taxed at a lower rate) in transactions with Barclays and Deutsche Bank" Wait...the same Deutsche Bank that lent Donny money and has Steve Feinberg inside it now? businessinsider.com/mercer-trump-r…
Senators John McCain and Carl Levin called bullshit: "These banks and hedge funds used dubious structured financial products in a giant game of ‘let’s pretend,’ costing the Treasury billions" marketwatch.com/story/hedge-fu…

The land of Magna Carta and rule of law jumps the shark. UK evidence that proves Iran did the tanker hits... is...well...why wouldn't they do it? Backing Donald's indisputable claim that “Iran did do it and you know they did it because you saw the boat,” gov.uk/government/new…
an American sailor also confirms that Iran did it.
Germany remains skeptical.

"Mawden Iran". Get ready for rent a hacks and poll dancer pundit hawks to come out for Iranian regime change. Please don't mention the astroturf and false flag events. Expect marches in DC and the MEK cult pushed into the forefront.
Apparently Bolton's paid speeches for the MEK cult promising regime change are clever propaganda tools of the Iranians to fool you into thinking he wants regime change. realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/04/…
@washingtonpost and even @AlJazeera asks the question on every American's mind. Why the trolls bro? Why exactly does our government need to flimflam voters and the media to start a war with Iran? aljazeera.com/programmes/lis…

The Iranian boat came to the rescue of the attacked ship. Trump's claim that they were removing mine evidence in broad daylight is a joke. Look out: We are the punchline. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j… #Iran
The Straits are #Iran's lifeline. Without it, Iran dies. No way would they commit economic suicide. Nor would Iran sabotage their meeting with Japan's Abe, whom Iran invited to Teheran to help restart negotiations. newsweek.com/iran-gulf-oman…
If you're going to sneak in to plant or retrieve a mine, as the Israelis can tell you, you use mini subs or Klepper kayaks, not big patrol boats that US satellites can photograph. #Iran is a fascist theocracy, but not a stupid fascist theocracy.

So the @StateDept uses taxpayer money to fund online attacks on @HRW because the organization is researching the human cost of US sanctions in #Iran.

Is this even legal?
“Iran Disinformation Project” website says it was launched in 2018 and is funded by @StateDept Global Engagement Center to expose disinformation coming from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
irandisinfo.org
They use @StateDept funding to attack and smear diaspora Iranian journalists, analysts, academics, and activists, some living in exile.

Here are two BBC Persian journalists @BBCArdalan and @BahmanKalbasi constantly attacked by this project and also by those who run it.

The stunning interior Vank Cathedral, Iran’s largest church and a masterpiece of Iranian Christian art and architecture built in the 1600s.

Thread on New Jolfa, #Iran the heart of Esfahan’s Armenian-Iranian community:
Vank Cathedral is the spiritual center of Esfahan’s Armenian community, which numbers in the thousands.

It was built in the 1660s, after the Safavid Shah moved thousands of Armenians from the Caucasus - part of Iran until the 1800 - to settle his new capital.
The interior of Vank Cathedral is incredible - it represents a harmonious fusion of Iranian, Armenian, and Christian themes.

It is a perfect metaphor for Armenian identity in Iran, which is home to hundreds of thousands of Armenian Christians today.

As an enabler of Iranian expansion and Russian force projection, the regime of Bashar al-Assad presents problems for the U.S. and our allies. Here is what keeps the regime afloat and how vulnerable it is at this juncture. securitystudies.org/assad-regimes-…
Syrian civil war destroyed 3/4 of the national economy & wreaked havoc on all sectors, but the regime of Bashar al-Assad was able to weather the storm. While Iran and Russia secured his rule and turned the tide of the war in his favor, Assad managed to remain financially afloat.
Assad remained financially afloat by exhausting Syria’s cash reserves. For example, Syria’s foreign exchange reserves declined from $21 billion in 2010 to less then $1 billion by 2015.

#Iran: several thousand people gathered o the central market in the Arab city of #Ahwaz to protest against the Iranian regime and what they describe as "discriminating policies against the Arab people"
#Iran: the situation later turned violent after Iranian police tried to break up the Arab protest in #Ahwaz, using tear gas and rubber bullets on the people.

The protests are a response to insults being made towards the Arab people on Iranian TV
#Iran: the Arab city of #Ahwaz today. Women are facing off against the Iranian police as they protest the regime's discriminating policies
