Y'all, I officially have no idea what in tarnation is actually happening in #Iran. (Not nukes! #TACO instead. Yay.)

The US media is touting this like #USA won, but #Arab and #Farsi reports are telling a story a little more plausible. Those reports say that the Strait will be opened *under IRGC control, for two weeks, using tolls (that's new), with payment in #Chinese #Yuan.

This is the beginning of the end of the petrodollar. And Iran has two weeks to rebuild their missile systems and 14 Billion in Yuan we just gave them to buy oil.

Meanwhile, #Israel says ceasefire doesn't apply to them, and they targeted and destroyed one of the oldest synagogues in the world in Tehran, burying torah scrolls older than those in Jerusalem.

Wrong kind of Jews. Tan / Brown ones. Like the bombing of the Catholic churches in Palestine and Lebanon. Wrong kind of Christians. Not the Crusaders, you see. Don't worship the Golden Calf, preferring the peasant Palestinian.

How is this a "winning"?

@MissConstrue I never thought I would trust Iran more than the US, but 2026 and here we are. ;)

@CStamp RIGHT?!!

There was chatter on some OSINT channels that the IRGC was talking to Iraq telling them that kidnapping women was against Quran prohibition that prohibits any form of injustice or abuse against women (with caveats, but foreign women have a special carve out) (I'm not a scholar of Quran, I am repeating what Muslim friends told me)

In any case, the Iraqi kidnappers released the American journalist. I pray she was unharmed as much as possible. But I tell the story to say that the IRGC did more to release an American than our government did.
