During the war, the regime openly broadcast how successful Mossad’s covert ops were - why admit that? Simple: it gives them justification for mass arrests. Now they can say: “We were infiltrated.”
Expect repression & purges to intensify, not fade.

In fact, as we've seen today, Trump has no appetite for more escalation and is clearly willing to restrain Israel after the US strikes.
Frankly, Biden wouldn't have done this. Reminder: Biden is/was a Zionist. Trump isn't, he has no ideology, only ego.

Reminder: JD Vance said that Iran had ~400 kg of near weapons-grade uranium. Iranian (and even Israeli) sources say the regime managed to stash it away. For context, you need 25 kg for a nuclear bomb.

Iranians hate the regime, but they want their own future. They've risen before, with vision and courage. They know Netanyahu isn't their friend. They want Ihttps://x.com/iyad_elbaghdadi/status/1935626164946497670/photo/1ran to be free, not bombed into collapse.
