Iran International English engagement report
@IranIntl_En - 383K followers on X
Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 14 interactions against 383K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 16% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 4.9K times each, and 0.288% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.27% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 58% carry an image or video and 45% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 63 interactions, about 4.5x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Iran International English's engagement rate beats 16% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 20% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 58% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 45% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 58% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 45% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 578 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with MS NOW’s Velshi that US forces used locations in the United Arab Emirates to launch rocket attacks on Iran’s Kharg and Abu Musa islands. “The reaction would be clear,” Araghchi said. “Last night they attacked Kharg Island and Abu Musa Island” using HIMARS rockets. He said Iranian forces tracked the launches and determined they came from two locations in the UAE, including Ras Al-Khaimah and an area near Dubai. “It is now clear that they were fired from the UAE,” Araghchi said, calling the use of neighboring territory to attack Iran “absolutely unacceptable.” He also said it was “very dangerous” to launch rockets from areas close to heavily populated locations.

The US Department of War said Monday that seven-year procurement agreements with General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems and Lockheed Martin are designed to triple production capacity for Patriot PAC-3 MSE interceptors and quadruple capacity for THAAD interceptors. The agreements are also intended to accelerate delivery schedules for the two missile-defense programs and increase production of key components including motor cases, seeker housings, midsections and shroud deployment systems. “General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin have answered the call,” Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael P. Duffey said. “We are cutting red tape, shortening timelines, and rapidly scaling our domestic manufacturing capacity.” The department said funding remains subject to annual appropriations, while the agreements guarantee minimum annual procurement quantities intended to support workforce expansion, bulk material purchases and facility upgrades. https://t.co/9tpM9SheuJ

US Vice President JD Vance said Iran’s leadership was willing to attack even its own allies in an effort to disrupt oil and gas flows, describing Tehran’s conduct in the war as lacking strategic logic. “What I’ve learned is these guys are really, really — meaning the leadership of the country — they’re really crazy,” Vance told Fox News’ Special Report. “They’re willing to do anything, and I think not with a whole lot of strategic wisdom behind it, in order to accomplish as little flow of oil and gas as possible,” he said. Vance added that while Washington expected Iran to target US interests, he found it striking that Tehran would “sometimes fire at their own allies just to prevent the free flow of oil and gas.” https://t.co/TJWcPL08sz

Iran told the United Nations in a letter that the US strike on Larak Island violated its sovereignty and territorial integrity, while defending subsequent Iranian attacks on US military bases in Jordan as acts of self-defense. In the letter sent Monday to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council president, Iran’s UN chargé d’affaires Gholamhossein Darzi said the Aug. 30 strike killed and wounded Iranian military personnel and civilians and damaged public and private property, state-run IRNA reported. Darzi said Iran’s armed forces subsequently carried out what he called “defensive and proportionate” attacks on US bases in Jordan that Tehran said had been used in operations against Iran. The letter also accused the United States and Israel of endangering freedom of navigation and maritime security in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz through military operations, the US naval blockade and economic pressure. Iran urged the UN secretary-general and Security Council to call on Washington to halt actions it said threatened maritime security and warned that Tehran would respond “decisively and proportionately” to any further military attack.

Iran struck six “important and strategic” US military sites in Jordan in its latest missile attack, the IRGC-linked Vatan-e Emrooz newspaper reported, citing informed sources. The newspaper carried the report on the front page of its Tuesday edition in Tehran, saying the strikes were carried out in response to the US attack on Iran’s Larak Island on Sunday night. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards earlier said it had launched missile and drone attacks on two US air bases in Jordan. Jordan said it intercepted eight missiles that entered its airspace. The Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the Iranian attacks on Jordan on Monday and said GCC states stood in full solidarity with Amman in protecting its security and territorial integrity.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 14 interactions against 383K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 16% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 4.9K times each, and 0.288% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.27% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is Iran International English's engagement rate on X?
- Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 383,070 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, Iran International English sits above the 10th percentile of the 65,980 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @IranIntl_En have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 16% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @IranIntl_En post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.37 posts per day across the measured window.
