We've got a lot of satellite imagery of how war is playing out.

We've got a lot of pictures.

The Israelis clearly had a lot of on-the-ground intelligence, otherwise they couldn't have carried out various and sundry assassinations of people in specific locations.

But there seems to be very little...

publicly disseminated information about anything that's actually going on inside of Iran.

Like, why is that?

Is there information that just isn't being publicly disseminated?

So whatever the Israeli government has at its disposal or the American government through human intelligence and or other signal stuff is just not getting out?

I mean, that is possible.

It's unusual that none of that gets out.

One problem is that there is a state media in Iran is a propaganda organ and unuseful from that regard.

Second problem is that there's almost no foreign media allowed into Iran.

CNN was allowed one journalist with a cameraman

and a driver, he was there for a bit, and you got a lot of information, but you don't have different outlets that are providing information, so you're not getting those conversations.

Internet shut down, so we're not hearing from average Iranians on the ground, citizens and the rest.

But also the Iranians are putting out these memes and the memes are doing extremely well.

And the American government's putting out memes and the memes are doing extremely well.

And there's enormous amounts of disinformation also.

And so people are getting maximally, their attention is grabbed and they don't know what to believe.

meaning that the space for the limited amount of real war journalism that's occurring, and there's not much of it, is just not getting to people.
