I bet it's the US.
They're already starting the 💀Iranian sleeper cell terrorists!!!!😱 scaremongering in the press.
These kinds of reports in the media are the first step in a known pattern of priming and nudging to rally up the public for another war.

Andrew Tate's site was based on some OSS software that they didn't credit (in violation of the license) and was an old version with known vulnerabilities. Which is why it got hacked.

I don't know if Truth Social is in the same boat, but it's possible. I think I heard it's just Mastodon with federation turned off? Or am I thinking of some other crappy alt-right site?

Would this count as a retaliation, which Trump warned them against?
