Folks this is a stressful moment and I strongly encourage everyone to wait for *multiple*, *reliable* sources to report an event before posting.

This is good advice, but it seems like the social media incentives for people to run around w/hair on fire & post inflammatory nonsense & lies are a real motivator in moments like this.

Statement from Iran UN Mission (NYT): “Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premise in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe.”

Indeed. Everything I've seen so far has been from the IDF - *not* a good faith actor. The same is true for their US-based proxies (so as to appear to be coming from different sources, alluding to confirmation). & Netanyahu has stated he wants war with Iran, which would lock the US to them.

There are some real time activity you can rely on, like flight path data over the middle east. There has been some scrambling there, except some flights heading to Jordan and Israel trying to beat the drones and anti missile defence fire. That is a concern

Fight the lack of 'multiple reliable sources' problem by offering one's BETTER solution(s).
Politely telling terrorists, bots, nationalists, clerics, propagandists, Putin, etc. to stop the bad behavior never works▼

😆😂🤣 Naw. Hot takes, assumptions, and just making shit up. You're completely correct, though. I've screamed this at people who bemoan not being on Xhitter for "real time updates." You don't NEED real time updates! Just relax. Wait. Reputable news will have info.

Also be careful to watch out if they’re reporting on their own or just quoting another outlet. That happens as well.
