Megathread for the US war on Iran | Week 18 of 2026
(thelemmy.club)
This is a thread specifically for the war, not a general megathread (use the pinned /c/genzedong thread for that).
Please keep related news in this thread rather than making separate posts. Remember to include sources and avoid spreading rumours.
Would anyone be interested in an OPML (RSS feed) file containing news & twitter stuff for the war? Wouldn't take long to isolate that stuff. Xcancel hasn't whitelisted most RSS readers yet tho, you have to email them. So I could make two separate ones that have the same folder formatting & can be imported on top of each other
Fucking around at work is no longer an option. I will be gone until I set up some automation (once a day digests of various kinds, I've spent days fiddling with formatting in Emacs even tho nobody will even care about it). Reading is too important, and everyone here is better at being Online. I'm good at using the I Ching to explore how my mind creates false synchronicities,, & Bloodborne. Nevermind
Handala hacktivists gain access to identities of US Marines in Persian Gulf – PressTV [2026-04-28]

US Marines with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit
The pro-resistance Handala hacking group says it has access to the identities of tens of thousands of “terrorist” US Navy personnel in retaliation for the crimes committed during the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, including the murder of schoolchildren in Minab.
“We have sent a direct message to US Marines via WhatsApp and said: ‘Those who thought their identities were hidden, think again; the identities of tens of thousands of US Navy personnel, from operational bases to recreational activities and off-duty patrols, are fully known to us’,” Handala said in a statement.
The message added, “We will deal with you terrorists whose hands are stained with the blood of Minab students. We suggest you contact your families right now and say your final goodbyes.”
The US and Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28, killing over 3,300 Iranians.
On the very first day of the war, the US-Israeli attacks targeted a girls’ elementary school in Minab in southern Iran, killing at least 168 children.
Last month, Handala announced that its team gained full access to data belonging to FBI Director Kash Patel.
Questioning “the security that the US government boasts about,” the group declared to the world that the FBI “is just a name, and behind this name, there is no real security.”
Handala stated that the cyberattack came after the FBI announced a $10 million reward for the capture of its members.
The group also has a proven track record of targeting high-level Israeli figures, exposing their secrets and contributing to the psychological and information warfare against the regime.
I care about Emacs though =P
