NEW: X Is *drowning* in disinformation following US and Israel’s attack on Iran. WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

food production, and human well-being. While most species are not currently threatened, one in ten faces extinction risk [...] but coordinated conservation action can mitigate these threats."

STATES CENTRAL COMMAND February 28, 2026 To America's extraordinary sons and daughters deployed around the Middle East, By order of the President of the United States, we are embarking on a mission of profound consequence. The time for preparation is over. The time for action has arrived. As we move from deterrence into active combat, I write to tell you how honored I am to serve with you - the most exceptional Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Guardians and Coast Guardsmen on this earth. Some of you are stationed in the Middle East. Many of you have deployed overseas on short notice. Others have been extended on deployment for this critical mission. You represent the strongest, most lethal warfighting force the world has ever known. You all selflessly serve our great country and make us so very PROUD. Since 1979, the Iranian Regime has killed and wounded thousands of Americans, and they continue to threaten Americans and our friends. Today, by your courage and grit, you will change the course of human history. My guidance for you is simple: • Be Relentlessly Lethal. In the heat of conflict, remember who you are. Let your conduct be as professional as your aim is precise. • Take Care of Your Teammates. The men and women on your flanks, in front of you and those at your six are your Guardian Angels. Be theirs. • Steady Your Resolve. Combat is inherently chaotic. The hours, days and perhaps weeks ahead will challenge you. There will be noise and confusion. Fall back on your training. It is the best in the world. You are the shield of the free world, and today, you are its sharpest sword. As the eyes of the world fix upon us, stay safe, and GODSPEED.
Adm. Brad Cooper, the top U.S. military officer at CENTCOM, sent this message to the roughly 50,000 U.S. troops directly involved in operations against Iran - obtained by Washington Post/Dan Lamothe

On X, only about 1 in 10 proposed notes ever becomes visible, and they are even less likely to appear on polarized topics where they are needed most.'

Canada becomes the first non-European country to join SAFE, the EU’s defence financing instrument. This is not a technical detail — it is a political signal. In a world of growing instability, Europe and Canada choose cooperation over coercion, solidarity over isolation. 1/2

Russia coordinated 130 resources to publish 21,400 disinformation posts in three days before Geneva talks
Narratives: "Split in West," "ungrateful Ukraine," "failed state under external governance," "terrorist state" euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/16/2...
The strategy against Europe is always to divide it.
Whether through Russian disinformation or Big Tech lobbying, the aim is to weaken our shared regulatory power.
The EU is attacked because it has huge potential.
United, we win. Divided, we hand over control
Our investigation has uncovered a network funded by Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán, that uses profits from refining Russian oil to platform far right and anti-trans campaigners in the UK
