Or could be running cover so the IRGC doesn't go above and beyond in an attempt to assassinate Reza.

Just an alternative theory. Have no idea.

China is dependent on Iran for oil.


I wouldn't think they would care who they get the oil from in Iran as long as it keeps coming, and the US is showing no signs they intend to stop the oil from coming, or no signs they intend to take all of Iran's oil shipments over...Seems like they are going to try to protect shipments and keep the ships moving.

Trump should publicly state the US NAVY will protect Chinese oil tankers if they go through the Straits of Hormuz

make Xi either push through his ships and break the blockade or look like a real @#$#@ on the world stage!

NEW: The combined US-Israeli force has designed its campaign to destroy Iran's ballistic missile capabilities before the force depletes its interceptor stockpiles. The destruction of missile launchers mitigates the risk that either the United States or Israel will run out of interceptors by limiting Iran's ability to launch missiles in the first place. The decrease in Iranian missile attacks against Israel and the UAE strongly suggests that the effort to destroy ballistic missile launchers has had considerable success.

Other Key Takeaways

1. The IDF struck key decision-making institutions on March 3, including the Assembly of Experts building in Tehran, as part of an effort to disrupt senior decision-making. The Assembly of Experts is an 88-member clerical body that is responsible for appointing and supervising the Supreme Leader, according to the Iranian constitution. Strikes that disrupt or prevent the Assembly of Experts from fulfilling its constitutional duty to select the next Supreme Leader would undermine the legitimacy of the regime. The regime is based on the principle of Velayat-e Faqih, in which a jurist, the Supreme Leader, controls Iran.

2. Iranian leaders have devolved powers to lower-level officials in response to the combined force's strikes targeting senior officials and central decision-making institutions, likely to ensure continued state functions despite disruptions to central Iranian leadership.

3. The IDF continued to strike sites associated with Iran's nuclear program, including facilities linked to weaponization research conducted by Iranian nuclear scientists.

4. Iran continued to conduct drone and ballistic missile attacks targeting US forces and sites in Gulf countries, which has prompted two US embassies to close.

5. The United States and Israel continued to strike Iranian-backed Iraqi militias on March 2 and 3 to degrade their ability to conduct retaliatory attacks against US forces and Israel.

Five days in and no reports of downed F-14s.

There is still hope there's some still intact!

I was wondering where that ship was. This one was very important to them. Will have to look but I think they have one more newish intelligence/signals ship somewhere but it could be this one.

NATO air and defense elements intercepted a missile headed toward Turkish airspace per the Turkish defense ministry.

Parts fell over Hatay province, which borders Syria and is just south of Adana, where Incirlik Airbase is located. State department had evacuated US personnel from Adana earlier this week.

Translated post below:

Quote:
A missile fired from Iran , passing through Iraqi and Syrian airspace and heading towards our airspace from the Hatay region, was intercepted and destroyed by NATO air defense systems. A fragment of the interceptor missile landed in an open area in Dörtyol, Hatay, and fortunately, there were no casualties or injuries.

Our institutions have followed the process in real-time and with full coordination. Our will and capacity to ensure the security of our country and our beloved nation are at the highest level. All necessary steps to defend our territory and airspace will be taken without hesitation. Any hostile actions will be met with the necessary response within the framework of international law. Consultation and cooperation with NATO and our allies will continue throughout this process.

Still not clear to me if the numbers are due to lack of munitions or lack of launchers…

the only mistake the USA has made is not filming the destruction of the Iranian Navy in 4K color film.

why do we have more footage of Japanese carriers sinking 80 years ago than bombing Iranian ships today?

Sri Lanka is reported as saying they're helping to recover 32 injured from the water but no ships were near. If it was an SSN, this is the first sub sinking a ship since HMS Conqueror during the Falklands War and the most recent since a North Korean mini sub sunk the ROKS Cheonan in 2010.

I think we'll see the footage after it's been scrubbed.
