  • Since Israel bombed the Iranian oil refinery and airport, Iran has started targeting Israeli power plants, ports and other infrastructure.

  • Go look up why DNA tests are banned in Israel

  • The U.S. and Europe actively mid-air refueled Israeli planes. They are not setting anything out.

    Israel bombs Iran

    Sure thing lol

  • Well, yeah, but what is the motive for the terrorism, I mean.

    Terrorism is violence with a political goal. So what is the political goal of this?

  • The new Western narrative is how heroic Israel is for striking oil fields and crippling the Iranian economy in order to stage a regime change.

    Now Israel is allowed to attack ports and refineries and literally any civilian infrastructure and they are painted as heroes.

    Russia could only dream of this level of propaganda.

  • Still I would have rooted for Churchill when it comes to the conflict of Nazi Germany versus Britain because I am able to separate actions from blindly supporting everything.

    Iran too did absolutely horrible things in the past They sent a lot of children to die during their war with Iraq. The Mahsa Amani stuff everyone keeps bringing up is so lightweight but Western propagaganda is the dumbest stuff.

    However, currently Iran is aiding Palestine and fighting Israel and they are not sending children to die for it. So I support that action.

  • Watch out, the enlightened centrist has arrived!

    Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, well, they are both bad people. Let's root for neither of them.

  • Initialen reports said Iranian army confirmed it. So far no updates. Usually when it is a dud there is no followup.

    Hiding this post for now unless more confirmation comes out.

  • Yes. Google and other DDG are awful at finding any article and quote from the past when it comes to Israel except if it says 'Israel has the right to defend itself am yisrael chai Hamas terrorists'. AI does not always get it correct but it makes far fewer mistakes and will actually show me articles not from NYT or Reuters, which Google frequently literally refuses to do even when verbatim typing a sentence from that site.


    According to the same AI Tehrantimes is not Iranian state media, whereas Tasnim is. A quick search confirms this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran_Times

    Furthermore Forbes quotes Tehrantimes. Tehramtimes attributes the claim to an IRGC general Ebrahim Jabbari . Hovewer reading the Tehrantimes article, it only claims what title says this in the summary which weird. Now here is what is likely the full quote which I found by searching on Ebrahim Jabbari 20:


    Iranwire:

    Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed, "Based on the information received, it is likely that around 20 Israeli fighter jets were destroyed." However, no evidence was provided to support it.

    "Even if the exact number is lower, the key point is that we were able to inflict heavy blows on their security, military, and economic centers," he added.

    So after using a search engine myself I conclude that the Nazi AI was correct and that Tehrantimes misquoted the Iranian army general which made a vague bombastic quote instead of using concrete numbers.

    The current article says 2 and is a direct claim by the Iranian military. It might still be fake but at least it not a "possibly 2".

  • But they are the official Iranian state media no?

  • I checked with the Nazi AI and Iran did not make this claim.

    A few Twitter users made this claim, but it cannot find Tasnim state media or the Iranian army making this claim of destroying grounded Israeli F35's in 2024.

    Based on the available information, there is no direct evidence that the Iranian army claimed through their state media that they bombed 20 Israeli jets in 2024. *nstead, this specific claim appears to have originated from other sources, such as Israeli sources and IranIntl (a Persian-speaking Israeli outlet), rather than from Iranian state media outlets like Tasnim News Agency or statements directly attributed to the Iranian army or the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).

    It even states that this misinformation about 20 destroyed jets originated from Israeli sources which is interesting. Not sure if true but at least not from Tasnim.

  • Pic must have been for illustrative purposes because Iranian media now reports it. Will change link to Iranian article.
