Been watching Tousi for about a year now. Pretty based guy, brings the receipts, and is typically putting stuff out well before it is picked up by the rest. Maybe I will live long enough to have a pint in his yet to be built british pub in Tehran
Meanwhile.... good riddance to another ayatollah. I can't believe anybody else will want the job... the new "supreme leader" must have drawn the short straw, or the only one who didn't wind up dead in the first wave of strikes. Ahem, sometimes it is good to be late to the meeting.
Tousi definitely releases a lot more images and videos of actual events, rather than the limited, canned USA & western propaganda talking points. And in particularly lately, Tousi has been the best source for most info about what's happening in the M. East. He's grown viewership with this Iran fracas. I pretty much go elsewhere now outside the USA to see what is happening both here and abroad.
Then, it becomes obvious how much news is
limited prohibited for release to the plebs here by ANY USA based media source including "new media" on social networks. At best you'll find a few places stateside that cut and pastes X (Twitter) videos and call it reporting news by typing two sentences. But Tousi adds more perspective to some of those X links by telling you the context and why they appear in his videos.
There's lots of tunnels in Iran and this conflict could be similar to Gaza in ways. If Iran's military scurries into the tunnels and don't fold, it will require boots on the ground to root them out. There's probably lots of arms in those tunnels, so dis-armed Iranian citizens would have a hard time trying to root them out, by "taking over the government". You would probably not want to be the first people to storm those tunnels unarmed.
To avoid U.S. boots on the ground, let's hope the initial agreement with Israel is that the USA brings the slack and heavy air and heat at the start and the IDF is required to sniff out the ragheads in the tunnels. Perhaps air drop arms and ammo to citizens if necessary. Seems like there would be some organized method to arm citizens if necessary unless the IDF is gonna occupy. Not really interested in Israel occupying Iran in lieu of citizens running the show. That never turns out good with the Jews running rough-shod. And certainly don't want the USA to occupy.
People online have wondered why Iran started shooting at somewhat friendly countries lobbing bombs at hotels and apartments. Well, it's to draw this war out larger. They want the shit to hit the fan in a large way. It's their stated long-term goal to motivate all the other ragheads around the world. And chucking bombs all around the Middle East will certainly start that. People over there aren't gonna think too hard about why, or how a bomb landed in their backyard. It's a powder keg over there. They're just just gonna fight like they have been doing for centuries. So, the Iranians chucking bombs around is maybe to get a nuke tossed by some party. Perhaps by Pakistan. Escalation is easy to kick off with something like this happening below with the Marines popping off Pakis.
Pretty stupid firing guns at a U.S. Embassy with marines and Trump in office. It ain't Hillary & Obama giving stand down orders. Plenty of people shot in this video. Looks to be about 5-8 people hit in arms, torso and face.
This video may get tossed below. It is already blocked for embedding and that's the typical first step for it disappearing totally. So, I've attached a few screen grabs below if that happens. All the thumbnails or the enlarged straight text below should link to the video as long as it remains live.
