Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF, posted an article on Platform X from Al Jazeera titled US-Israeli tactics against Iran are working. Here’s why, calling it brilliant.

Muhammad Selum, an associate professor of international politics and security studies at the Doha Institute of Higher Studies, said the operation “neutralized Iran’s military capabilities, including its missile systems, drones and air defenses, according to the article.

The elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei eliminated the top rung of the power hierarchy. The appointment of his son Mojtaba as successor – a dynastic transition unprecedented in the Islamic Republic – is a sign of shaky institutions, not a guarantee of order, the publication said.

The text mentions the casualties of the conflict, including 1,400 Iranian civilians and six U.S. military personnel, but contrasts them with the nuclear “danger” posed by Iran.

SBF quoted excerpts from the article, adding: “The cost of striking Iran is tangible. But the nuclear risk is also real.

Who’s right, who’s wrong?

The author of the article echoes President Donald Trump’s claims that Iran’s military capabilities are “severely degraded” and its missile arsenal is “crumbling”.

However, according to U.S. intelligence agencies, despite the attacks, the Iranian leadership remains resilient and its imminent collapse is not predicted. In particular, Joe Kent, who recently left the post of head of the National Counterterrorism Center, noted that Iran “does not pose an immediate threat” to the United States. The White House has deemed his remarks incorrect.

How will this benefit the SBF?

SBF’s recent social media posts are quite revealing: in most cases, he expresses his approval of Trump’s policies, be it economic measures, foreign policy decisions or cryptocurrencies. He also tried to portray a common foe in the person of Judge Lewis Kaplan, who gave him a prison sentence and presided over Trump’s federal defamation trial.

Some X users responded to SBF’s fresh post about 이 Ireland’s war, noting that such actions are unlikely to help him get his sentence commuted.
