Cant other AI apps do the same thing as Grok in terms of deepfakes?

Insane that this error made it through their (presumably) competent editorial process. How embarrassing.

1) What defense? They have been punching back but have been unable to stop enemy strikes. Do you understand what the word "defense" means?

2) That happened before the war, and the protesters have been told to hold off for now. Its completely irrelevant to this war.

3) They control it for now. We'll see how long they can continue threatening global trade. My money is not for long. [1]

4) Attacking radar systems is not weakening the US presence in gulf countries. What they have succeeded in doing is attacking almost every gulf country souring relations.

5) This makes no difference since they were selling to russia and china regardless

6) This makes no sense, as they had operational Nuclear facilities up until the moment Israel/US blew them up. There is no reason to think we wouldn't do it again.

Explain how they are better off than when the war started.

> Iran seemingly is coming out of this mess stronger than it was before.

This is a wild take. Their top leaders and generals have been killed, they have no control over their own airspace, have their military and civilian infrastructure completely at the mercy of their enemies, and have no navy/airforce any more.

Oh, and their currency collapsed.

But other than that they are doing great.

1) It's possible there are traffic cameras covering wherever they get into the vehicle.

2) It can be used in conjunction with other assets watching who got in etc...

Nope. Wars end. They always have. The Israeli war of independence is done. Just because you were on the losing side does not give you the perpetual right to attack Israel.

This is very basic stuff.

This is not revenge, this is war. Until Hamas surrenders (they haven't) they are responsible for the civilian deaths.
