I genuinely don’t understand the “Iran is winning” narrative. Their currency has collapsed to ~1 USD = 1M+ rial (it was ~40k not long ago), inflation is out of control, and their economy was already on life support before this war.

Militarily, yes Iran can launch missiles and keep the Strait of Hormuz under threat. But most of what we’re seeing is saturation and symbolic retaliation, while US/Israeli strikes are systematically degrading infrastructure, launch sites, and leadership targets.

Iran’s biggest “win” right now: • Regime is still standing • They can prolong conflict & disrupt global energy markets If ur economy is collapsing, ur infrastructure is getting hit, & ur long-term capacity is shrinking, that’s not victory People r confusing “not losing immediately” with “winning.”

At 104 miles long, Strait of Hormuz is a massive stretch of water. To give you a rough idea, it’s almost the same length as the entire New Jersey coastline. ​In the age of drones, naval mines, & explosive mini-boats, securing a corridor that long is going to be very difficult, if not impossible.

Today is the 27th night of Ramadan, which is considered the holiest night for Muslims. Ramadan is supposed to be the month of worship, steadfastness, peace, and forgiveness but it pains me as a muslim that half of the Muslim world is on fire. Praying for world peace on this holiest night. Ameen

According to The New York Times report today, Mohammed bin Salman is urging Trump to continue bombing Iran heavily. If you remember, back in 2008, according to leaked cables, King Abdullah urged the U.S. to strike Iran and “cut the head of the snake.”

Reading what teenagers and 20 somethings are saying on social media gives me some hope. Maybe the next generation of leaders won’t be war mongers.

Maybe the world would be safer if world leaders fought their battles on social media. Post AI videos of fake destruction and argue and let them massage their egos without real people dying.

Honestly hating AI during this conflict. So much noise everywhere. I don’t know what’s real and what’s fake. Can't trust anything. It’s a major boost for the fake news industry. And X monetizing tweets just made it worse, turning everything into a race for views.

In a few years at a Republican primary debate, candidates will be competing over who opposed the Iran war the most and how it was a terrible mistake…

-This guy signed a nuclear deal with Iran and put them in check. -Put a leash on Netanyahu. -Sanctioned Russia and stood up to Putin. -Kept China in line without theatrics. Say what you want, Obama knew how to lead.

The tiny island of Bahrain is bearing the brunt of Iranian attacks. At only 290 sq miles, the entire country is smaller than the city of Austin, Texas, almost 2200 times smaller than Iran. ​Since Feb 28, it has been hit by: ​125 Missile Attacks ​203 Drone Attacks

2500 US Marines to be deployed to secure the Strait of Hormuz in Iran. Just a reminder, Marines were the first force deployed in Iraq and Vietnam wars too.

What is it with the Middle East? Always in conflict. Birthplace of 3 largest religions of the world, cradle of most important civilizations, home to most documented history, yet it’s never at peace.

In 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine pushed crude prices up near $130 a barrel momentarily, only to drop steadily toward $65-75 levels, despite persistent fighting and the war continuing to date. Financial systems often exaggerate responses to international crises, yet production adapts over time.

I sometimes find it funny that we can’t even control this planet; wars, bloodshed, and chaos everywhere and we’re already talking about colonizing Mars and other planets.

Biggest casualty of this war has been the UAE. Much of the UAE’s economy; tourism, real estate, and expat-driven jobs is run by foreigners. I don't see them coming back in near future.

Updated list of countries, Iran has attacked, including those with vessels targeted: - Israel - KSA - UAE - Bahrain - Qatar - Jordan - Turkey - Oman - Kuwait - Cyprus - Azerbaijan -​ Thailand - ​Japan - ​Marshall Islands - ​Liberia - ​Malta - ​Palau - ​Panama - ​Bahamas - ​Australia - ​Honduras

I don’t know what’s changed, but Gavin Newsom seems to be scrapping that middle-of-the-road approach of trying to please both sides of the aisle and is sounding more and more presidential.

For years, Iran criticized Arab kings and the Shah of Iran for passing down power to their sons and running monarchies. And now it is following the exact same path.

These companies have whole marketing departments and not once did anyone realize this was a stupid idea. There goes the entire Super Bowl ad budget, potential growth, and now negative PR on top. Disaster.

After 14 years in marketing and now building AI agents, here’s my honest take: AI will transform a lot, but it won’t replace humans anytime soon everywhere completely. Our data is showing that people overwhelmingly hate talking to AI reps on the phone. They crave real human interaction.

Elon Musk’s net worth is now just $0.14 trillion shy of $1 trillion. To put that in perspective, his personal wealth is higher than the entire annual GDP of countries like Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Norway, Israel, Singapore, Chile & dozens more. And they say inequality isn’t a problem.

World leaders’ ages: Trump 79, Khamenei 86, Putin 73, Erdogan 71, Xi 72, Netanyahu 76, Modi 75, Shahbaz Sharif 74 The world needs young leaders with fresh thinking, modern solutions, and energy for the future.

Absolutely heartbroken and shocked beyond words by the cowardly terrorist attack on innocent people celebrating Hanukkah in Sydney. My heart aches for the victims, their families, and the Jewish community in Australia. Hate and antisemitism have no place in our world. Praying for all the victims

In our society we prioritize and make car inspections mandatory but not our own minds or body. Mandatory annual mental health/psychiatric evaluations along with blood work could prevent countless problems in our society. Alot of people nowadays definitely need a mental health evaluation.
