I opened X – formerly Twitter, currently a crime scene – looking for news about Iran. Within 30 seconds I learned three things. One: Iran has enough missiles to last years. Two: Iran has no missiles left; the United States has completely wiped out its strike capabilities. Three: The United States has secretly run out of weapons.

Three “facts”. Completely contradictory. All posted with absolute authority.
