Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 2 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 66 interactions against 190K followers, an engagement rate of 0.035%. Posts are seen about 7.2K times each, and 0.915% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.77% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.27 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video and 50% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.8K interactions, about 87x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #africa, #ethiopia, #tigray. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday 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 | 50% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 50% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 50% 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.
- 50% 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 252 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

Norway's impressive run at the World Cup is yet another reminder that they've got this whole sport thing figured out. Whether it's soccer, golf, tennis or – of course – winter sports at the Olympics, a tiny nation of just 5.5 million people is now churning out world beaters at an extraordinary rate. https://t.co/WRHUPVtHVk

An Amphibious Landing in Iran and the Battle of Gallipoli Any war against Iran risks repeating the classic mistake of Gallipoli: a superpower’s underestimation of a determined defense strongly favored by geography. In 1915, the British Empire believed its superior fleet would be enough to force the Dardanelles and bring down the Ottoman Empire with relative ease. Generals and politicians, including Winston Churchill, Ian Hamilton, and Lord Kitchener, viewed the Turks as a backward army of “doubtful value” that would flee at the first salvo from British battleships. Reality proved very different. The geography of Gallipoli turned the attack into a nightmare. The Ottomans controlled the steep heights above the beaches. Once the Allies landed, they became trapped on narrow strips of sand, fully exposed to machine-gun and artillery fire from above. Advancing or retreating safely was nearly impossible. This is exactly the same natural wall that Iran possesses today in the mountains that surround nearly its entire coast. Any force attempting a landing in the Persian Gulf would immediately face steep elevations right behind the beaches, giving the defender total visibility and fire superiority. Beyond geography, Iran possesses something the British also underestimated in the Turks: the ability to conduct a saturation defense. While offensive and defensive munitions stocks are running low for the attackers, Iran is preparing a war of saturation. Thousands of drones of various types, missiles, and fast attack boats launched in swarms could quickly overwhelm and exhaust the coalition’s ability to provide cover for a landing in Iran. Logistics represent another fatal bottleneck. In Gallipoli, the Allies could not sustain the flow of supplies under constant fire. In Iran, the challenge would be even greater: supply lines could not rely on American bases in the region, which have already been heavily damaged and under fire for 26 days. They would instead depend on much more distant logistics, supported by an already weakened American industrial base. Meanwhile, Iran would be fighting at home, with underground factories, short supply lines, and the ability to open multiple fronts through Iraqi militias and the Houthis. In parallel, the Strait of Hormuz functions as the modern equivalent of the Dardanelles. Iran dominates the area with sophisticated yet relatively cheap naval mines, anti-ship missiles, drones, and its own navy. The loss of just one or two major ships, or landing vessels, would be enough for the entire operation to collapse, just as happened in 1915 when simple mines sank three British battleships in a single day. The error of assessment is the same as it was a century ago. Just as the British believed the Turks “had no stomach for modern warfare,” today some assume that an intense technological bombardment would quickly cause the Iranian regime to collapse. Statements like Netanyahu’s, “Iran is a paper tiger… A strong blow and the regime will fall”, dangerously echo the declarations of Churchill and Hamilton. Both ignored the fact that a nation of tens of millions of people, fighting on its own territory with strong ideological motivation, does not easily surrender to technological superiority. Gallipoli cost the Allies around 250,000 casualties, including tens of thousands killed, and ended in a humiliating withdrawal. It was a meat grinder that exposed the arrogance of a superpower when it collided with the reality of the terrain and the defender’s determination. Any potential amphibious landing in Iran today carries the same risk of becoming a Persian Gallipoli: where excessive faith in technology runs into an insurmountable geography, a mass of missiles and drones, and the overwhelming advantage of those fighting on home soil. Iran is the opening conflict of a multipolar world, a reality that America, Israel and probably the entire west still fail to recognize.

Iran did not close the Strait of Hormuz. It converted it into a tollgate. The toll is not money. It is alignment. And the country with the world’s largest navy is not on the list of those who may pass. Foreign Minister Araghchi stated it explicitly: the Strait is “open but closed only to our enemies and their allies.” Ten countries have been offered safe passage: China, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iraq. Iran ships approximately 1.3 million barrels per day to China through the “closed” strait via shadow fleet and dark transits. India is in active talks with Tehran for the release of three seized tankers in exchange for medicines and equipment. The waterway that Goldman Sachs says collapsed from 19.5 million to 0.5 million barrels per day is not closed to everyone. It is closed to the coalition that bombed Iran and open to the rest of the world on terms Iran dictates. This is not a blockade. It is a permissions system. And the permissions are rewriting the geopolitical map in real time. Every country on the safe-passage list gains a competitive energy advantage over every country excluded from it. Chinese refineries receive Iranian crude at $9 to $12 below Brent while Western buyers pay $96.72. Indian tankers negotiate passage while American carriers patrol outside. Turkish trade continues while British Airways cancels flights. The selective enforcement creates a two-tier global economy: countries that can access Gulf energy because Iran permits it, and countries that cannot because Iran does not. The first tier includes every major non-Western economy. The second tier includes the world’s superpower and its allies. Iran’s endgame is not victory. It is attrition toward terms. Araghchi told CBS the war ends only when Iran is “certain it will not be repeated” and reparations are paid. No ceasefire has been requested. Resistance continues “as long as it takes.” The selective Hormuz enforcement is the mechanism: it sustains revenue through China flows, preserves diplomatic options through India and Gulf talks, and inflicts maximum economic pain on the coalition while minimising alienation of the countries Iran needs for long-term survival. The US objective is the mirror image: targeted degradation of nuclear, missile, drone, and naval capabilities to restore free Hormuz transit without a ground war. Fifteen thousand strikes have destroyed Iran’s air force, navy, and air defences. But they have not reopened the Strait because the Strait was not closed by military hardware. It was closed by insurance cancellations, mine threats, and a permissions list that no bomb can erase. The war has produced a paradox that neither side anticipated. America can destroy everything Iran builds but cannot open the waterway Iran controls. Iran cannot stop the bombs but can decide who sails. The military supremacy is American. The chokepoint sovereignty is Iranian. And the ten countries on the safe-passage list are watching both sides bleed while their tankers transit under the protection of the regime the superpower is bombing. Araghchi demands guarantees and reparations. Trump demands warships and coalition escorts. Neither has what the other requires. The guarantees require American withdrawal. The escorts require allied participation that Japan, Australia, and Germany have refused. The war continues because neither side can offer what the other needs to stop it, and the Strait remains a tollgate because the toll, political alignment, is the one currency America cannot pay.

🚨 As I have been predicting for weeks, Washington has jumped into the hornets nest of Red Sea politics, holding secret meetings with Isaias in Cairo in a bid to increase its influence in the region by lifting sanctions on Eritrea. What will Eritrea do in return? How will Addis react? What does this mean for Trump's promise to restart GERD talks? How will this a US-Eritrea rapprochement affect the SAF and Sudan's war? And what will UAE and Saudi make of the US effort to enter Red Sea political debates, seemingly aligning itself against Ethiopia? Too many questions to answer. But what I can say is that the US is doing it all without a strategy with a used truck salesman at the helm. What could possibly go wrong?? https://t.co/ztA7gLPxH7
