Fact Check: Images depicting capture of US βDelta Forceβ troops in Iran are-AI generated
Four images depicting U.S. soldiers captured in Iran were created using AI, according to Googleβs SynthID tool, and there βis no evidence of Iran having announced that it βarrested any U.S. soldiers, ...
I had only asked about "held illegally" but specic query about Delta Force: Reports circulating on social media and some news outlets in early March 2026 claiming that 120 or 173 US Delta Force operators were captured by Iran are false and appear to be part of a propaganda campaign.

My ancestors left Germany for Halifax on a ship called the Gale 250+ years ago! They were given a one acre plot along the coast and 100 acres further in to farm, an axe, a shovel and 100 lbs of seed potatos and built Lunenburg up from the ground along with the other first families of Lunenburg!

Just 'cause we like to be good. I think that if the Canadians there saw an opportunity to help they would, clandestinely,and not' officially'. Not helping them would drag us down to their level. My elbows are up, but if an American tripped on the street right in front of me, I would lend my hand

They would be POWs, though, not held illegally as the reporter and other citizens are... But thanks for the info... It did not come up in my search.

[as an aside, if you are in the water and see a wave like that coming, the chest high water now around your ankles, do NOT run away. Run straight at that wall and dive into it. You will be transported to the top immediately. If you run, there's a good chance it will break on you and break your neck]

Reza Valizadeh (an Iranian American reporter) and Kamran Hekmati (a 61-year-old Jewish Iranian American) are among those known to be held. Another individual mentioned is Afarin Mohajer.
This reminds me of the situation in the 80s. Canada to the rescue, again?

This is the saddest thing I've seen all week. Maybe all month, sadder to me than the bombed school in Iran.

It always surprises me how high his approval rating is. Especially since the REFORM PARTY simply co-opted the Conservative name years ago, but the actual Conservatives haven't yet twigged onto that fact!

@mark-carney.bsky.social have we arranged clean, uncontaminated water for the people of the north? I think it's their top priority.

'tulpa' great new word for me! A thought-form, or "imaginary friend" created through intense concentration and meditation, considered by modern practitioners to be a sentient, independent entity sharing the host's mind and body. Rooted in Tibetan mysticism as a materialized being...
