Rumors are spreading that the U.S. and Israel may be working with armed groups inside Iran.

But almost everyone debating this is missing the strategic question that will actually determine whether Iran’s revolution succeeds or fails.
🧵
1 Reports are circulating that the U.S. or Israel are working with Kurdish, Azeri, Baluch, or Arab armed groups as ground forces inside Iran.

Here is what is known and actually matters.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt have denied such claims. The CIA has not commented. At the same time, U.S. and Israeli intelligence have openly communicated with the Iranian public during this crisis.

Hostages return home tonight.
And monsters walk free.

I’ve lived this story before — my father was one of them.
A German-American hostage, kidnapped and killed by jihadists.
He still hasn’t made it home.

And for those of us who’ve faced this evil, we know:
This isn’t peace — not even close.
It’s a pause between horrors, paid for in human lives.
We’re all paying the price.

Let me tell you why 🧵

2025 started with a horrific TERROR attack on US soil. While mainstream media is busy trying to reframe it, social media personalities are either silent or turn this into a “migrant issue”.

Let me explain to you why Terror Attacks cannot be solved by “mass deportation” and what we actually need to do to stop it.

New Year’s Day 🧵

1/9 CITIZEN TERRORISM

The terrorist that drove his truck into the NYE crowd in New Orleans, started shooting at the police and killed 15 and injured 30, is Shamsud Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen and Army veteran who lived in Texas. Jabbar appeared to be carrying an ISIS flag and was dressed in military gear.

In other words he was as “American” as it gets. Born and raised in Texas he passed through all checks to serve in the US military.

❓Question to the deportation junkies: What kind of immigration law do you want to create that would possibly be able to deport an American citizen? How would you even implement that without robbing all Americans of their birth and constitutional rights?

Like millions of Iranians I listened to Prime minister @netanyahu 2nd address to the Iranian people. While many Iranians appreciate the encouraging words and the clear distinction between Khamenei’s Regime and the Iranian people, I think there are still major points that are lost in translation.

Here is a Thread 🧵 to unpack 10 of our major concerns

1/ THE MONEY

PM @netanyahu speaks of “2.3 billion dollars of Iranian people’s money” that is stolen by the regime and spent on wars.

But It is not just the money of the IRANIAN people that is wasted on war and terror. It is also the money of foreign, especially WESTERN investors and conglomerates, that make the bulk of multi-billion-dollars that has kept the regime in power for 45 years and crushed the people of Iran, the entire Middle East, and threatened Europe and America.

Beginning in the early 1980s, #Europe and #America have treated the leaders of the terrorist regime like BUSINESS partners despite the attacks by its militias against Americans, French and other Western allies.

In June 2009 President @BarackObama opened a dialogue with the head of the regime and in 2014-2015 his administration signed the ominous deal that released $150,000,000 to the regime.

Just before October 7th the #Biden-Harris’s administration sent $6 billion dollars to #Qatari banks to be transferred to the #IRGCterrorists, which fueled the massacre of 1,200 innocent Israelis on October 7 by #Hamas.
