Statement from #Iraq|i PM:

Shortly after midnight on Wednesday 8/1/2020, we received an official verbal message from the Islamic Republic of #Iran that the Iranian response to the assassination of the martyr Qassem Soleimani had begun or It will start in a little while
Rough translation of the full statement, this was done via google. So it'll be slightly off but it gives you context.
It appears #Finland knew the strikes were coming, therefore I have no doubt the #US were completely aware of the incoming missiles, hence 0 casualties.
Lets make one thing clear though, Finland nor the US for that matter will have any warning of the proxies (#PMU/Kata'ib #Hezbollah for example) this will be were the real Iranian response comes from.

Aircraft shelters appear to be directly hit. In the grand scheme of things, that's just a material lose however.

Big -- exactly as we said, the US was informed about an Iranian attack by the Iraqis. The Iranians actually told the Iraqi PM about it, and the Iraqis passed the message to the US.

The statement in the next tweet:
Official statement from the Iraqi prime minister:

"Shortly after midnight, we received a formal verbal message from the Islamic Republic of Iran that the Iranian response to the assassination of Qassem Suleimani has begun or will begin shortly, and that the strike will be ...
... the strike will be limited to places where the US army is present in Iraq, without specifying the locations. Exactly at the same time, the US side called us as missiles were falling on the part where the US forces are housed in Ain al-Assad in Anbar & Harir in Erbil & others

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.

#Iran,
For the second day upper-middle class in Tehran are protesting and asking everyone to close their shops and businesses.
This development will make the regime weaker than before as some parts of the middle class were the supporter of a faction within the establishment.
Protests are spreading and security forces can’t stop them. We may see the end of Islamic Republic of Iran soon if Trump refuses to negotiate with Tehran.
Central Tehran is also on the streets protesting Iran’s policies. Tehran’s Bazar demanding changes and the number of protesters growing.
