Trita Parsi engagement report
@tparsi - 263K followers on X
Measured over 16 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 8, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.2K interactions against 263K followers, an engagement rate of 0.439%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 38K times each, and 3.02% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 14.6% 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 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 16 posts sampled, 44% carry an image or video and 56% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.6K interactions, about 3.1x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Trita Parsi's engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 77% 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 0.439%, Trita Parsi sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.1% to 0.499%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 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 | 44% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 56% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 44% 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.
- 56% 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 390 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.

Gaza today. Israel's slaughter never stopped. https://t.co/57zGE8xAVb

This is the village of Bani Hayyan, in southern Lebanon. It is being blown to smithereens by Israel. The US had signed an MOU that demanded that Israel exit Lebanon. But the Lebanese government seemed unhappy about that and signed its own deal with Israel that would only have Israel leave ONCE Hezbollah was disarmed. It appears the Lebanese government approves of Israel blowing up southern Lebanon in the hope that this weakens Hezbollah. Because weakening Hezbollah so that Lebanon can become a protectorate of Israel is seemingly more important to it than defending Lebanon.

I just completed our eighth Q&A with subscribers, and I fear I left folks quite worried and depressed. But I was being honest: All signs point to a major escalation between the US, Iran and Israel. And it may very well be initiated by Tehran itself a week or two before the midterm elections. I explained how Iran’s pattern of behavior suggests preparation for that war, including how they are clearing the path for even more effective strikes against Israel. And while the US kept Israel out of the second round of war because Washington feared Israel would escalate beyond what the US believed was manageable, Trump may, in this third round, see himself far more aligned with Israel’s desire for a far larger war.

Under Miliband, the UK seems to be moving toward rectifying its errors in Gaza. Action speaks louder than words, of course, but words often precede action. If genuine and substantive, then it must be welcomed. https://t.co/oe75PIhDWT

Bulgaria may allow US aircraft to use its bases to attack Iran. Rehab had threaten to stroke the bases. Bulgarians living nearby are terrified. Residents have collected more than 3,000 signatures against the deployment and held peaceful protests. https://t.co/jSNZDZZsHR

Back in January and February, Trump was suffering from a highly exaggerated assessment of Iranian weakness, believing Tehran was about to fall and that it did not dare to fight the US directly. It was an assessment that, in large part, had been curated by Israel. I fear that once again, only highly filtered information is reaching him, fueling a similar misperception of Iranian "weakness." Here he is, reposting an article citing Iran's President calling for the war to end. Given the larger context, he appears to be interpreting this as Iranian weakness, that his pressure on Iran is working and that soon, Tehran will have no choice but to surrender. This will compel him to insist on unreasonable demands (surrender), accept unreasonable military risks (land troops?), and fundamentally miscalculate what needs to be done to bring this war to an end.

Part of the reason Obama succeeded in getting a deal with Iran was that, unlike the rest of the Democratic establishment (Clinton, Biden, and the rest of the blindly pro-Israel wing of the party), he did not fixate on Iran as the central problem in the region. When you do, as Biden proudly did, you end up justifying increasingly grotesque Israeli policies - including genocide... "Iran had been central to Biden’s thinking about the Middle East, several top advisers said. He’d feared that any public pressure the U.S. put on Israel—any 'daylight' between the allies—could invite attacks by Iran or its Lebanese client, Hezbollah. The U.S. would then be compelled to defend Israel in a regional conflagration." https://t.co/cchG91S0rG

Another mass funeral in Gaza. The bodies of the Malaka, Badawi, and Rahim family, were dug out from the rubble of their homes. 83% of people killed in Gaza, died in their homes. More than 8,000 people are still missing and unaccounted for. https://t.co/j29VTtTnqN

- What is Trita Parsi's engagement rate on X?
- Trita Parsi (@tparsi) has an engagement rate of 0.439%, based on the median interactions across 16 original posts from the last 30 days against 262,642 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.439%, Trita Parsi sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,128 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 @tparsi have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the top 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 @tparsi post?
- Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.4 posts per day across the measured window.
