Maybe they infiltrate a supply chain to produce explosive pagers, with the hope it will explode on their targets and do so without harming innocents.

Iran was attacked by Israel and the US. They are not "terrorists", they are logically defending themselves. Many of these companies play a role in the attack against Iran and general Zionist expansionism.

Do you know who actually attacked first in this illegal war and why?

Also who launched that missile which struck a school full of schoolchildren in Iran?

Iran is making tactical moves based on reciprocal assymetry, where they are sanctioned financialy, and cant use modern communications due to it bieng compromised, so they pull the plug, and make a declaration targeting those regional tech assets, which will have an effect, much like a sanction, and bring the stocks down while reducing the tactical potential of those assets bieng used against them. not bad for a press release.

“though it maintains a human remains in the decision loop.”

I know grammatically what this means it’s just so close to the other meaning I would have rewritten it lol.

Apparently, and so far, their facilities in the Middle East.

Attacks on U.S. soil would only play into the hands of an executive who craves any excuse to invoke emergency powers and martial law.

Trump's provocations attempt to create such a situation, and have increased as Epstein evidence has proliferated, along with weakening defenses by firing competent government employees, critically in the military and cybersecurity arenas.
