We'll soon reach the end of the 40-day Chehelom mourning period for those killed in the initial crackdown. The gatherings marking the end of mourning will likely bring further demonstrations, and more crackdowns and violence. This cycle contributed to the Shah's downfall.

An estimated 350,000 people marched down Yonge Street in Toronto in support of the people of Iran and the end of the Islamic theocracy.

It appears things are in motion for stuff to happen. Is it time to panic?

“There is no need to panic,” the email read. “For those desiring to leave, it’s important to make plans to depart sooner rather than later.”

Well that's reassuring, thank you Mike.

Off topic - I started watching Tehran on Apple TV, about an Israeli spy embedded there.
I read the series was filmed entirely in Greece - the shots of Tehran reveal it to be a beautiful city near the mountains.

F-22s are another level though. Those are relatively rare and expensive birds, and you don’t park those in Israel just to show them off. The F-22 is designed to go in to establish air superiority and also take out air defenses to pave a way for the bombers.

Israel has launched a preemptive military operation against Iran and has declared a nationwide emergency.

Unusual that these strikes commenced during daylight hours. There is now reporting that the US is carrying out strikes as well.

Not really, the old day of using the cover of darkness is pretty much over. I expect that Israel sent in their F-35I's to clear out air defenses and establish control of the air, we'll be seeing the heavy stuff after that.

All the best to the people of Iran and their supporters around the world.
Make Iran Great Again seems to be trending.

For some reason, the well wishes from you seems so...ungenuine.
Can't place the reason exactly.
Maybe it's cause you're clearly posting it as a "ha gotcha, I win!" moment.

Is there a term for this type of cognitive inflexibility or distortion? The type that see everything as some dumb form of complete black black and white, us vs them, if you don't agree with me it means you agree with my enemy, etc?
It's the same people that just couldn't understand that people hate Pierre Poilievre but that doesn't mean they love Trudeau.
Look 'doc', everyone hates Iranian regime and the terrorist state they've become. They just also recognize that war always makes this #### much much worse.

Ya, but between alcohol, batteries, and the wheel, they can coast for a while. Though I'm gonna have to deduct a few centuries for pants.

NWT has a decent article about the timing of this.
The CIA passed the info to the Israelis and they bombed the crap out of the compound.

Funny how similar logic is used by closet bigot conservatives to claim that they aren't racist/homophobic etc.
"I have an x friend therefore I can't possibly be prejudiced against them and I can definitely speak for all of them as well"
You learn about exactly this in any comprehensive book about social psychology.
