Israeli-Russian academic Elizabeth Tsurkov who was freed by an Iran-backed Iraqi militia in September offered some of her first insights yet on her captors on Monday, decrying Iran and its regional allies as "brutal ignoramuses".
IRAN INTERNATIONAL-- "I am confident that so many of the successes Israel has had vs. the Iranian axis is not due to Israeli genius but due to the stupidity of the men who make up the rank-and-file and commanders of these militias & Iranian regime," Tsurkov wrote on X.
"Having spent 903 days in the captivity of an Iraqi militia servicing Iran, I can tell you that I've never met more ignorant people in my life," the Princeton PhD candidate added.
Tsurkov was abducted by Iran-backed Shi'ite militia Kata’ib Hezbollah and was released after a Trump administration hostage envoy traveled to Iraq in February to push for her release.
