A number of anti-government protests in Iran have turned into the biggest demonstrations since the contested 2009 elections.

I assume there is an actual Israel/ Palestine thread, but it seems more appropriate to place this here.

Excercise app using fitbit and similar data is a pretty good way to identify US and coalition bases in Syria. Russians to a lesser degree, and apparently Iran and its proxies follow much better operational security.

The Shock & Awe bombings in Iraq began 15 years ago today.
I remember watching the first night at a bar.
