I really wish there was some way to know how effective the last Israeli attack on Iran was. I saw video that showed a lot of stuff getting shot down, but I never verified the video. I’ll never trust the IDF, but they claimed a wild success. I haven’t heard much from iran except that a few soldiers may have died. It’s stupid to trust any one source, so I’m stuck in a weeks long curiosity
I follow some actual OSINT accounts (that have experience) on Twitter and I can recommend them.

Be aware I’m not saying these are communists by any stretch (if you’re looking specifically for communists). But they’re generally trustworthy and not too reactionary, not like some of those accounts lol. ArmchairW used to be a major in either Brit or US army if I’m not mistaken, so he knows what he’s looking at when he sees something. Also very good takes on Ukraine tbh. RoyalIntel I started following not long ago, they seem good. Ary is Iranian and generally reliable when reporting on Iran if sometimes a bit fanatic.
From my friends in Iran it seems very little damage was made. They did report 4 servicemen died. There’s some satellite pictures of an airbase and/or a refinery and ‘possible’ damage but you know, OSbros were also the ones that reported on the Uyghur “concentration camps” so I don’t give them much credence. They see a little black spot on the imagery and say wow their industry got killed overnight.
Ary reported that the chemical plant that manufactured missile components was moved to another location almost immediately and started back up.
By all accounts the attack was aborted after they failed to hit the first targets. The loud explosions people heard in Tehran came from anti-air defenses. IOF was
