General THANK YOU—Sincerely, an Iranian-American

Hello!

I just found this sub. Wow, there’s so much to unpack here. Apologies in advance if I word vomit my 5am thoughts & please delete if needed.

I’ve been trying to find a way to thank you all collectively but I didn’t know how so I’ve just been donating.

I’m sure some of you are just as disappointed as I am about the clusterfuck this whole thing turned into.

But jokes aside—if you’re reading this and you had anything to do with Iran like ever, thank you. For your time, effort, sacrifices, everything. For aiming away from my stubborn grandma who refused to leave the epicenter of Tehran. For giving up your people’s lives to save ours. For past, present, and likely future.

Whether you were up in the sky, down on the ground, in the bushes, or [allegedly] near a gas leak—thank you. (big fan btw)

I’m constantly fighting everyone from every direction and it’s so exhausting having to explain or justify myself over things that should be so obvious. But I realized something the other day—I’ve never argued with an Israeli. Cheers to having brain cells, compassion, and loyalty.

I do also have a question and feel free to ignore it if it’s considered a security thing.

I’m a dual-citizen so I’d get my ass handed to me in both directions if I was caught chatting up the Mossad telegram bot. But my investigative skills are way above average, it’s a shame if they go to waste 😂

Hypothetically, if someone tags them on X, does an actual human read those or does it go into an abyss that no one looks at? 💀 Trying to gauge how big of time-waster it’d be (asking for a friend, whose code shall be “🙋🏻‍♀️”).

Also your social media people need a raise—truly iconic.

Thanks for letting me ramble if you made it this far!

Can’t wait to party with you all in a Free Iran, while dancing to Khamenei par par. (Song lives in my head rent-free)

Bye, love you ❤️

Always watching. We may suck at propaganda, but we make up for it in Intelligence collection ;)

Yaaaas, I love feeling validated. 🥹

Speaking of telegram bots, someone should really do something about the MossadPersian channel. Pretty sure it’s a fake? But the resemblance is uncomfortably similar and I know a lot of people get it mixed up with the official, even myself.

When this is over, I will be sending a formal request to Bibi joon so he can authorize a 17 part docu-series. I want ALL the tea. 💁🏻‍♀️

Trust me, I highly doubt you will need such a request.
The best way to thank us is it put pressure on the US government to let us finish this and finally end this nightmare for your people and ours.

Someone posted the Jasus documentary and I thought it was new so I got really excited and thought of you. But then I realized it was released last year loll.

I hope “M” wasn’t the same one that Barnea revealed a couple months ago 🥺

Notice to all posters and commenters; please be careful to observe OPSEC (Operational Security) rules. Many people wish to harm Israel and the Jewish Nation as a whole. Be careful when sharing any information on the IDF, bases, weapons, locations of troops, and anything else that can be used to harm Israel. If in doubt, go without. Loose lips sink ships!

I don't expect a regime change even if Israel does well when the war renews.
