❗️🇺🇸 NEW: One of the oldest and most influential Reddit accounts ever, with the user tag 'Maxwellhill', is now thought to belong to Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's partner

The user posted countless articles about world news, until it suddenly stopped posting the day Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested. Other circumstantial evidence can be found in the attached screenshot.

It's not confirmed, but based on the information, extremely likely.

🚨🇮🇷TOP Iran’s Special Ops in 2025: Unprecedented Intelligence Counteroffensive Moves

Amid global pressure—recall the coalition of 54 nations aligning against it—Iran has not merely played defense. 2025 reveals a country executing a bold, multi-front intelligence counteroffensive.

🔸THE NUCLEAR HEIST: A Physical Infiltration Masterclass

Iranian intelligence executed a deep physical infiltration within Israeli territory, allegedly recruiting assets including nuclear personnel and settlers to exfiltrate a vast trove of physical and digital files. The haul—smuggled to Iran—reportedly includes internal Dimona imagery, dossiers on 189+ scientists, detailed nuclear modernization plans, and evidence of Israel's espionage against the IAEA. This was a walk-in heist of the regime's most sacred secrets.

🔸THE HANDALA TAKEDOWN: Decapitating the Opposition's Nervous System


The reported seizure of Iran International's primary asset-handling Telegram channel ("Project Joker") is a classic counter-intelligence goal. The cross-referencing of extracted messages against databases to allegedly identify 71,000+ individuals represents a potentially devastating blow to exiled opposition networks and their intelligence pipelines.

🔸OPERATION OCTOPUS: Israeli PM Phone hack

The breach of ex-PM Naftali Bennett’s phone was a psychological masterstroke. Targeting Israel's "cyber-literate" poster boy—a former special ops soldier and successful cybersecurity CEO—the extraction of his contacts and personal media served not to gather intelligence, but to publicly mock and demoralize, signaling that no one is beyond reach.

🔸THE "ROBERT" GROUP: Election Interference Play


The claim of possessing 100GB of emails from Trump's inner circle (Wiles, Halligan, Stone) repeats a proven 2024 tactic, threatening to sell or leak data. This is a direct leverage play aimed at the heart of the US political process, blending cyber-capability with real-time psychological pressure.

Iran showed a coordinated, multi-domain offensive: cyber, human intelligence, and psychological ops. It is demonstrating global reach, targeting media, political figures, and existential state secrets. The balance of power in shadow warfare is visibly tilting.

🇮🇷 🇮🇷 NEW: Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has been appointed as deputy Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, by executive order of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei

In practice, this is a demotion; Vahidi was deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, which is a higher position.

Iran's military has been going through an active 'reshuffling' since the 12-Day War, in order to achieve more competent leadership.

🇮🇱 NEW: Israel's population growth has fallen to 0.9%, the lowest ever since its foundation in 1948

According to a new study by the TAUB Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel, there will continue to be a significant decrease in fertility rates by 2030.

Additionally, net migration to the 'country' has been negative for the second year in a row.

Data from the Israeli Immigration and Absorption Ministry shows that total Jewish migration to Israel significantly dropped in 2025 compared to last year by about one-third, even as migration from the United States, Russia, France, and the UK increased due to alleged antisemitism.

❗️🇮🇷 NEW: Earlier today, a group of violent foreign-backed criminals attempted to break into the Governor's office in the city of Fasa

Iranian security forces foiled the attempt, and four people were arrested; rubber bullets were fired.

Several security forces were injured. It was most likely a coordinated attack to create civil unrest.

I can't believe channels are still hyping up the Iran protests. More than 90% of the footage being circulated is either from 2-3 days ago, or from 2022 Mahsa Amini riots.

The situation is calm, with the exception of isolated incidents like storming the governor's office in Fasa.
