Iran is not Syria.
Iran is not Libya.
And treating it as either is a category error.

Those countries collapsed because the state was the regime.
Remove the ruler, and the country dissolved with him.

Iran is the opposite.

Iran is a nation first. Its national identity does not…

President Trump continues to demonstrate historic leadership on Iran, with unprecedented support for the Iranian people as they face bullets for freedom. We @UANI join him in standing with the brave people of Iran. https://t.co/OsEcIWRlmy

“They might cut the internet. I love you all.”
This was #Setayesh_Shafiei’s last message on Telegram. Then she took to the streets in Iran. She was killed by security forces. Only 20!years old. Brave and full of hope.

It’s reported that the Islamic Republic regime has murdered ~12,000 Iranian civilians.

From enabling direct-to-cell connectivity, to restoring funding for Persian-language media, there are actions the US could take now to support Iranian people in their fight for freedom. pic.twitter.com/DdR0GhTavY

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: I can’t help but notice that the “Free Palestine” crowd seems to have zero interest in freeing Iran. Maybe it wasn’t about peace and human rights at all, writes @johnondrasik.https://t.co/HN6fXeh8Eh

One of the things that infuriated me when I was covering dictatorships was their penchant for smearing their critics, including those they imprisoned or executed. And now the Trump administration not only kills Renee Good but also calls her a "domestic terrorist," "very violent,"…

The resurgence in Pakistan’s ties with the US apparently didn’t shield it from this.
Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal are also on the list.

As your constituent, Senator, I call foul. If we had not entered WWII the Nazis would have won. Bill Clinton of your party knew he did wrong on Rwanda so he did intervene in Bosnia, Kosovo. Your opposition to Trump should not entail abandoning US natsec and the Iranian people. https://t.co/ZZd6vRG0bU

The time for feel-good posts about brave protestors throwing off their hijabs in Iran seems long over.

We appear to be in the “mass murder of civilians” phase of this revolution.

Iran is ruled by psychopathic theocrats.

If NewYork-Presbyterian can afford to give its CEO $26.4 million, if Mount Sinai can spend $100 million on an AI center, if Montefiore can give its CEO $16 million, these hospitals can afford to treat nurses with respect.

I strongly support the 15,000 nurses on strike in NYC.

I do not believe President Donald Trump would be telling the people of Iran that help is on the way and have the Secretary of War retweet it only to do nothing

Something is going to happen

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey need the Islamic Republic of Iran to survive.

Without it, they lose influence and the ability to say "you need us to help you with Iran and its terrorist proxies."

With the regime gone, the focus will shift to the next tier…

As a founder, you need to have an outlet for your competitive / aggressive / hit-a-concrete goal energy.

The best channel is a hard physical sport. Running. MMA. Surfing. Something that has many layers and you can do for a long time.

Don't spend it online. Spend it outside.

Woah, I guess the thousands of Iranian protester in Toronto today, who predominantly called for the Shah, must’ve been AI-generated.

I'm looking forward to seeing more "10x accountants", "10x lawyers", "10x project managers", etc.

They're the types of employees who learn how to build the systems that streamline & scale their work.

It hasn't been possible for most people until recently.

Startup people reach for the word “pivot” when they want a decision to sound intentional.

I’ve seen teams use it for everything from a careful course correction to quietly walking away from a plan that stopped holding up. Same word. Very different situations.
