رسانه‌های عراقی گزارش دادند که عصر روز شنبه، کاروانی از نیروهای نیابتی تروریستی حشد الشعبی عراق که وارد خاک ایران شده بودند، هدف حملات هوایی ائتلاف اسرائیل و ایالات متحده قرار گرفت. همچنین خبرگزاری رویترز اعلام کرد که دولت عراق گذرگاه مرزی شلمچه را مسدود کرده است.

Iraqi media reports that Saturday afternoon, a convoy of Hashd al-Shaabi Iraqi proxy terrorists that had entered Iranian territory were targeted by airstrikes from the Israel-U.S. coalition.

Reuters also reported that the Iraqi government closed the Shalamcheh border crossing.

The U.S. strikes were extremely heavy taking out PMF terrorists. The bombings took place when nearly an entire battalion had passed through passport control and was waiting inside the customs yard for the clearance of their vehicles and goods.

Well done 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

“Israel pays influencers $7,000”
“Congress is quietly integrating the US military with the IDF”

Two libels invented by Responsible Statecraft — the official publication of the Trita Parsi founded Quincy Institute, then artificially promoted across pro-Islamic regime networks and media. It’s not a coincidence… it’s a foreign subversion operation, potentially being orchestrated by the regime itself.

This week Quincy’s Responsible Statecraft are claiming the U.S. military and IDF are “merging” in a fit of hysteria following an NDAA bill proposing the deepening of joint Israeli and U.S. R&D. Of course that’s absurd — this is similar to agreements that the U.S. has had with other allied countries, however the key difference being none of those countries have contributed nearly as much as Israel to the U.S. Even the current R&D partnership is literally lifesaving for countless Americans — so when you see histrionics from bad faith pundits like Trita Parsi and his associated network, rest assured there’s a motive behind it — and a conveniently an entire cyber army of bots and cyborgs ready to regurgitate the claim ad nauseam which is then amplified by a host of pro Islamist content creators in the West.

Since the the Quincy Institute came out with the new libel, it’s been picked up by all the usual suspects in rapid time with the assertion the U.S. military has been “taken over” by the IDF.

This is patently false…yet being reported with Quincy institute as the source by RT, Thomas Massie, Dan Bilzarian, Code Pink, and a host of other “influencers” — incidentally, the exact same people to parroted the other Quincy Institute lie that influencers were “being paid $7,000 to promote Israel.”

This is an intentional misrepresentation of data that was manipulated in order to concoct a conspiratorial headline and artificially amplify it to distract from the Islamic republic’s enormous failures.

Here’s how they did it… Responsible Statecraft/Quincy Institute took a $900k total budget for a legal and publicly disclosed influencer marketing campaign paid for the Israel’s MFA. They invented deductions, and then divided by a ridiculously low estimate of 75–90 total posts over 5 months to manufacture a headline. In reality, the FARA filings show the campaign expected influencers to post 25–30 times per month. With a cohort of 14–18 people, that’s hundreds of posts at a rate of $250-$440 per post.

This was also a fully declared, FARA-registered campaign by a foreign government through a U.S. firm. Allied countries do this routinely for tourism, investment, trade, and public diplomacy — South Korea, Japan, India, the UK, Germany, and Taiwan all run similar programs. Meanwhile the Islamic regime itself has recruited influencers to act as undeclared agents running influencer trips while at war with the U.S.

Funny how Responsible Statecraft didn’t see fit to investigate that. Now they’re doing the same thing with another sensational lie.

Make no mistake. This is a coordinated and well funded effort to actively harm and defame the U.S.-Israel partnership. Now ask yourself, WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS MOVE? There are only a handful of actors…all of them bad…and only one with convenient connections to Responsible Statecraft via its founder Trita Parsi: the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Trita Parsi and the Quincy Institute should be investigated for their role (knowing or not) in this disinformation operation.
