Iran's ultra-hardline Kayhan newspaper exposes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's very friendly ties to OSS general Richard Frye, adding that Ahmadinejad's goal was to promote his pan-Iranist ideology as a force in opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran's Principlist YJC reported likewise, citing Kayhan.
👉 Kayhan was a staunchly pro-Ahmadinejad newspaper but turned against Ahmadinejad when the latter began leading a p…

(1) the ones originating in the Amal, the Syrian Army, and the Free Officers,

It is also a blow against the Khomeinist propaganda line, spread by undercover MEK accounts, that the mulla stratum is doing the good work of overthrowing the US empire.
Duly deploy this rocket against both flanks of the enemy.

🇮🇷 US intelligence (Wikileaks): Since the 1990s transformations, the IRGC has turned against the mulla stratum that corruptly dominates Iran's economy. They therefore began to seize parts of the economy at the expense of the mullas.

Answer:
"Gamal Abdel-Nasser supported the operations in Gaza against Israel after 1967. He opposed the Palestinian operations on other frontiers because he saw them as at best demagogical if not outright counter-productive.

1. 'cross-border' attacks were denounced as adventurist, because they were often isolated, sporadic, and without proper inter-Arab coordination for war against Israel.

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
