Omid Memarian engagement report
@Omid_M - 114K followers on X
Measured over 10 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 8, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 28 interactions against 114K followers, an engagement rate of 0.025%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 3.1K times each, and 0.908% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.74% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.43 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 40% carry an image or video and 80% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.0K interactions, about 141x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Omid Memarian's engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 39% 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.

At 0.025%, Omid Memarian sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,152 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Friday 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 | 40% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 80% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 40% 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.
- 80% 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 544 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.

U.S. service members want Americans to see what this war is really doing. They sent CBS photos of destruction from Iranian missile and drone attacks. CBS: “They want Americans to see just how destructive Iranian capabilities can be, the limits of American defense capabilities, and also the danger that Iran can still present.” More than six months into the war, the warning is coming from the troops themselves. https://t.co/t9nD6tknIk

Bombing energy infrastructure won’t just hit a government: it will hit hospitals, homes, businesses and millions of civilians who depend on electricity and fuel. If this is the next phase of the war, it looks less like a military strategy than a strategy of frustration: inflict enormous suffering on civilians and hope they rise against the government. That’s a dangerous path under the laws of war. https://t.co/h9aHrtqlPM

1/ Chilling statistics and a stark warning from one of Iran’s most prominent economists: In a major essay published in Iran’s Donya-ye Eqtesad newspaper, economist Masoud Nili argues that Iran has reached a historic crossroads. The data paint a picture of an economy under extraordinary strain and of a country facing a choice between two fundamentally different models of governance. Here are some of his key findings: 2/ Since early 2018, the exchange rate has increased nearly 50-fold. In comparable periods before, it had risen by no more than fourfold. This happened through seven major currency crises that repeatedly shook Iran’s economy. Overall prices have increased by more than 19 times, compared with 3.5 to 3.8 times during similar periods in the past. Food prices have risen by more than 34 times. 3/ Since 2018, GDP has barely grown, while real per capita national income has fallen by nearly 12%. Between 2018 and 2024, around 16 million people fell below the poverty line: an increase with no historical precedent. 4/ Since 2019, Iran’s working-age population has grown by about 5 million people, but net employment has increased by only 400,000. An average of just 57,000 new jobs per year. Of Iran’s 66.5 million working-age population, around 40 million are outside the labor force, while about 2.5 million are unemployed. Young people aged 20 to 29 make up the largest share of both inactive and unemployed populations. 5/ The number of women of working age has increased by 2.6 million, yet female employment has not grown. Instead, 700,000 women’s jobs have disappeared. In just one year, from spring 2025 to spring 2026, Iran lost about 630,000 industrial jobs, wiping out employment gains accumulated gradually over the previous eight years. 6/ Nili argues that the years since 2018 have brought not only economic deterioration but an extraordinary concentration of national crises, from the November 2019 protests, the January 2020 tragedies, the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 protests, the 12-day war, the January 2026 events, and the second phase of the war, all leaving deep psychological scars on Iranian society. 7/ His conclusion is ultimately about governance, not economics. Iran now faces two fundamentally different paths. One treats governance as an arena of confrontation and perpetual conflict. The other sees governance as the responsibility to provide stability, peace, economic well-being, and prosperity while safeguarding the country’s dignity and independence. These two approaches cannot coexist indefinitely. As Iran passes through one of the most turbulent periods in its modern history, only one will ultimately shape its future. 8/ Masoud Nili is not an ordinary commentator. He is a professor of economics at Sharif University of Technology, holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Manchester, served as a senior economic adviser to President Hassan Rouhani, contributed to Iran’s first and second five-year development plans, and has spent decades researching macroeconomics, political economy, and economic development. At the moment, super hardliners are pushing for a more confrontational path, but his analysis and stats make it clear what Iran’s priority should be.

A 2,000-pound bomb. A family home. A taxi driver, his wife, and their 2-year-old son killed. Two children pulled from the rubble alive. A legal expert says the choice of such a weapon in that setting is “very difficult to reconcile” with the obligation to minimize civilian harm. No indication of a nearby military site has been found. https://t.co/Je3elsxn3q

"Putting a veteran intelligence chief in charge of the Basij suggests that Tehran increasingly sees the foreign battlefield and the domestic street as two fronts of the same security challenge. The message of Taeb’s appointment is that the regime is preparing for two fronts at once: another confrontation abroad and potential unrest at home. The appointment was a sign of anxiety, not confidence." https://t.co/f4AvJNFbdk

Let this sink in: 18 U.S. troops killed. More than 600 wounded. 207 injured in recent weeks alone. Thousands of Iranians have also reportedly been killed. Now critics warn the Pentagon's reclassification of the latest U.S. casualties makes it harder for Americans to fully understand the true human cost of the war. @TaraCopp https://t.co/v9mWIcIAmH

More than six months after the U.S. strike on a school in Minab, Iran, killed more than 168 people, including 120 children, there has been no public accounting of what happened. Now Republican @RepThomasMassie is putting Minab at the center of his articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The effort faces serious odds in Congress. But Massie’s move forces a vote and puts civilian deaths, congressional war powers and accountability for the Iran war back before lawmakers. https://t.co/ePBwFRU89b

Iran’s Pharmacists Association is warning that flu vaccines are unavailable in pharmacies and may not arrive before October. It says disrupted channels for transferring money and medicines prevented timely orders, while manufacturers are struggling to secure raw materials and alternative supply routes can cost three times as much. This should set off alarms far beyond Iran. Iran went into this war with a significant domestic pharmaceutical industry. WHO data show that Iranian manufacturers supplied 98.5% of the country’s pharmaceutical market by volume in 2021. Iran also has a decades-old vaccine manufacturing infrastructure centered around institutions such as the Pasteur and Razi institutes. The damage of the Israel-U.S. war to pharmaceutical facilities, combined with sanctions, disrupted financial channels and restrictions on imports, puts that capacity and millions of civilians who depend on it at risk. This is one of the less visible ways war enters civilian life. A bomb does not have to hit a patient for war to endanger that patient. Destroy production capacity, restrict access to ingredients and equipment, and disrupt the channels needed to purchase medicines abroad, and the consequences eventually arrive at pharmacies and hospital beds. Vaccines, cancer treatments and essential medicines should never become casualties of war or instruments of economic pressure. The growing shortages in Iran are a warning: whatever the political or military objective, policies that cripple access to medicine can impose their gravest costs on millions of ordinary people who have no role in the conflict

- What is Omid Memarian's engagement rate on X?
- Omid Memarian (@Omid_M) has an engagement rate of 0.025%, based on the median interactions across 10 original posts from the last 30 days against 114,483 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.025%, Omid Memarian sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,152 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 @Omid_M have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range 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 @Omid_M post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.43 posts per day across the measured window.
