Netanyahu has decided to accept the Iranian deal. Security officials are despondent and see it as a disaster. Ynet brings some high level quotes from them: 1) A senior Israeli official said "Nobody is happy with this. We understand it is not good for us, and that it harms Israeli interests. What is troubling is that Israel cannot influence it. Its voice is not being heard." 2) The anger at Trump is palpable.: "Trump screwed us, we took the hit. We're no longer in the loop and can't really influence anything." 3) Israelis fear Iran will be economically revived: "They've blown money on the Iranians, who are getting everything they want. They'll build a missile corps, and we'll have to pour money into interceptors." Israel sees oil revenue flowing back into the exact capabilities the war was meant to degrade. 4) They don't believe a deal will adequately deal with the nuclear issue: "The real test of the deal is removing the uranium and destroying it. If that doesn't happen, the sense of a bad deal will turn into something more concrete." 5) They fear this will embolden Iran: "Iran has smelled that it can achieve things by force, and it will use that against its neighbors and against us." 6) The deepest worry is not military. It is perception. After months of direct fire, Iran is seen across the region as the side that took the pressure and did not fold: "the regional working assumption will be that it was signed under Iranian pressure and American capitulation, rather than the reverse." Israel is concerned that Iran will be stronger, the US will be weaker and that the future for it will be bleak in the region. This war has been a disaster for Israel.

Being raised in an anti SpongeBob household is a lifelong social handicap and lowkey abusive

Trying to avoid eye contact with my wife this Saturday morning as she has a big exclamation point quest giver mark over her head

I'm actually quite proud to work at FDD and not at a place where people engage in the worst kind of social media gotcha-ism to crucify someone for the worst possible interpretation of something they said, something they never intended. FDD is a think tank. We engage with ideas. We don't call for murdering people for their ideas. That's what Iran did by putting FDD on its hit list. No, we advocate policies and call out terrible ideas, like when Beinart advocates for Jews to relinquish self-determination in the world's only Jewish state. Anyone who knows the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and follows Palestinian current events (or other sectarian conflicts) would know that that is a recipe for a bloodbath. Khamenei, Sinwar, and Nasrallah all engaged in military efforts to destroy Israel and were themselves dealt with militarily. Beinart engages in intellectual efforts to destroy Israel and should be dealt with intellectually. Perhaps stepping out of social media's toxicity would be helpful for those putting words into Mark's mouth and attacking him for their imagination.

know the Claude rules

Huh it is true. Wow Combined with the confirmed hits on radars and this...dang, the US looks baaad.

Iran 🇮🇷 posted high resolution satellite image of Israel 🇮🇱 Ramat David base hit by its ballistic missiles 👇 Worse than I thought. Direct submunitions hits. NOT "debris".

Won’t shock me if Lawrence residents learn the Algerian national anthem. The KU band learning the anthem for them is impressive enough in itself. Plus, the Algerians will be putting on a kids camp after about 45 minutes of training. #LesVerts

C-17 crew is up there citing #OSINT like the rest of us squinting at a sketchy tweet at 1 AM. @thebaldgeek

۲۲:۲۷/ ۲۱ خرداد برخلاف ادعای ترامپ، هیچ متن توافقی میان ایران و امریکا نهایی نشده است.

📍Confirmed hit at Jabal al-Dukhan Long Range Radar site, Bahrain. *found a photo of the hill on a hiking website, matches the cropped image of smoke on the mountain.
