So much has happened over the last four weeks that I forgot to share with you the findings of our initial analysis of the US and Israeli strikes in Iran. It’s been nearly a month now… Still interesting, though.

I am very pleased to see our article being shared in different languages. The figures are terrible, we also wanted to let you know what the damage means in terms of impact on urban and rural communities. Feel free to use our database as much as you like; there are lessons to be learned from it...

Glad that we have highlighted our analysis which bears witness to the material destruction that not only damages property but also harms children severely.

It took us almost two months, but we have finally solved the mystery of this item sought by the law enforcement agency of the EU (www.europol.europa.eu/stopchildabu...) 🙆🙆‍♂️🙆‍♀️ thanks to a variant with the same colours distributed differently sold second-hand on a platform for private individuals.

🔔 GOOD NEWS! Before I tell you more, I'd like to urge you once again to NEVER contact anyone when conducting open source research to help the authorities. 🤐 The beginning of the year has been rich in investigations. After 4️⃣ reports sent to the FBI, we sent 1️⃣ report to Europol two weeks ago...

Do you have any doubts or are you curious about one of these identifications? Ask me in the answers for our visual demonstration and I'll be happy to do a separate post. In the meantime, we encourage you to take care of the children around you as they hunt for #Halloween sweets.

Visual summary of the identifications that we, investigators of the @osintfr.bsky.social community, have sent in detail to the FBI since they published this poster on August. None of them alone give a precise location of the crime scene, so we are showing you these images in their entirety.

We can also point out that the textual element provided by Europol is close to reality: the school is based in Central America. We'll be happy to tell you more about our research (first victory by visual prototype! 🎉) but... not before 2025. (3/3)

Our full report was sent to Europol last night, and the interests of the victim and the police investigation outweigh our desire to share our joy and encouragement to do the same, so we're only showing you part of a blurred video screenshot showing little more than the reference image. #OSINT (2/3)

Once again, I have some good news! After a month of searching, the solidarity and tenacity of @osintfr.bsky.social's volunteers has made it possible to identify the uniform shown here www.europol.europa.eu/stopchildabu.... and to geolocate the victim's school. #TraceAnObject #StopChildAbuse (1/3)

Here is a fine example of how identifying an object and its catchment area by using #OSINT can help strengthen an investigation to protect victims and hold perpetrators to account. We would also like to remind you that anyone wishing to help us with our research is most welcome. 🤗🤗🤗
