The Take<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/header>\n

Trump declared \u2018major combat operations\u2019 on social media. Will this reshape the region for decades?<\/p>\n

\n

The US-Israeli war with Iran is here, and so is the information war. We track how \u201cmajor combat operations\u201d were announced and sold on Truth Social, the echoes of the Iraq war, and what claims about \u201cthreats\u201d and \u201cself-defense\u201d mean for the Iranian people. With Tehran confirming Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei\u2019s death and its retaliation unfolding, we examine the start of a war that could reshape the region.<\/p>\n
