The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

^^^^IMPORTANT THIS IS ABOUT a JOINT DNI & FBI PRIMETIME press conference tonight just completed and according to CNN TV I am listening to right now, the press did not get a lot of notice because law enforcement are trying to let the American public know what they know ASAP. Which is not typical and CNN suggests that FBI appeared with DNI because DNI knows it has credibility problems. And they want to rectify that on the voting issue, the want the public to know how seriously they are taking this.
"I've never seen the FBI do a rushed press conference like this!" ~Evan Perez @ CNN TV just now to Anderson Cooper on his show just started.
Edit to add: Evan Perez is emphasizing that the main message is that the Iranians are simply trying to sow chaos as Russia has already tried to do in the past, with no preference for candidate, while Russia in the past had a preference for Trump. But activity that they are seeing now is almost exclusively Iranian with purpose of sowing chaos.

Interesting that at same time there are anonymice at the White House bashing FBI Director Christopher Wray to WaPo:
and on CNN right now the panel is discussing comparing the difference in messages coming across from Wray and Ratcliffe in tonight's press conference; I.E., that Ratcliffe mentioned that the Iranians might be trying to hurt Trump and Wray took a totally different tack, the disinformation problem in general. Clearly most agree that Wray was there to give Ratcliff credibility that this was indeed an Iranian attempt at interference.

The statement was made that Iran tried to harm Trump.
The fake messages threatened Democrats, how does that harm Trump?
Are people who feel that Trump who suppresses votes, think Trump should receive sympathy for having his Proud Boys used by a foreign power?

While I very much prefer to read commentators and analysts who are humble like this and always rethinking themselves, I must admit that when I saw this, first think I thought was BUT BUT BUT what if what has been happening to the U.S. IS the "destabilization" and "blowback"
And then, of course, there's that a serious worldwide pandemic will always throw a wrench into the best laid geopolitical plans of mice and men.

It was again Trump's crazy man approach trying to force a sparring partner into an unwinnable choice. But Iranians already dealt with Hussein, they dealt with Ahmadinejad... Overall I think they played the PR, but knew going toe-to-toe with US military or even promoting a response with a terrorist attack would be stupid. Unlike a Mullah, Trump's not elected for life.
