BBC Persian is a propaganda arm for the Mullahs.

Iran lobbed a few more short range ballistic missiles and drones towards Saudi Arabia today. Probably not helping with the negotiation efforts.

This was earlier but got overlooked. Seeing reports on multiple reliable X accounts.

I hope so. I just don't want to see a bunch of our soldiers getting killed over this.


Social media is going crazy with reports that true numbers of American Kia is somewhere close to 500 after massive missile attacks?? What is going on

The same social media full of bots and socialists? Color me skeptical.

Source? I spend more time on X than I care to admit and haven't seen that anywhere.

I don't think the government would be able to hide 500 dead servicemen from a media hell bent on destroying the administration.

I saw some reports they all want to stop the war and are starting to blame Israel for being the first to bomb.

.like everyone or just the Arab states?

What's the latest on the Kurds getting involved? That seems to have fallen off the radar.

What exactly do the Iranians not understand about "unconditional surrender"? Does it sound better to a Shia coming from a Sunni?

Nothing official but Kaden Dunlap posted a bit of info that someone allegedly part of an Iranian Kurdish militia bought 50 land cruisers. So either nothing is going to happen right now or they're building some technicals.

That's likely 50 year old airplane. Wonder if it was parked or something was trying to fly away

Prior strikes against Tehran seem to be with fighters launching standoff munitions. If this is correct then it's possible we had some B-1s or B-2s over Tehran.

At this point we could be flying B-52s over Tehran

Bush reported to deploy. The carrier completed computex recently so it makes sense. I'd imagine the Bush is supposed to relieve the Ford in the Red Sea.

Have seen a few different relatively unreliable X accounts posting similar today. Also rumors that the Iranian president got got as well. Nothing confirmed from Israeli govt sources though. Usually when they are sure someone was eliminated they will let the press know.

Literally who is saying OK at this point to that role. I get that religious zealotry is stronger than common sense for these people, but if I was "in line" or "considered" for the role, I'd be on the first Toyota truck headed to Pakistan or Afghanistan saying "I've got to go see about some family that's sick".

Who is left to "surrender" for Iran? Have we no totally destroyed their military power? How and where are they firing missiles?

I guess I'm not appreciating how big Iran geographically.

48 more hours and the wright brothers could fly over Iran unscathed. We are wiping out their capabilities at light speed

IRGC has a decentralized operational and command structure to survive decapitation strikes. IMO you're not fighting a state, you're fighting an ideology that has institutionalized itself into a state. ie Islam.

Just my opinion

Yep. This is a multi million headed snake. If the populace doesnt get armed and involved i doubt Iran is ever truly changed, but at least we kick the can down the street X number of years, again

That is such an unrelated situation…there is no comparison. There was no structure to Hamas like there is in Iran and Israel and the US keep taking out leadership.


Iraq had a big army and they disbanded within a couple months

Gathering more information but this was apparently one of if not the last 747-100 aerial refueling tanker frame. Acquired from the US before the revolution.

Airports in the UAE are closed apparently, lost if traffic circling over Oman and KSA waiting to get in.

Seeing a lot of chatter about refueling tankers now freely flying over Iranian territory. A significant portion of Iran appears to be completely free of Iranian AA.

The IRGC is now operating as several different smaller groups not acting under central command. Part of their orders once command leadership got taken out but also makes an organized response quite difficult. They are taking random pot shots instead of coordinated attacks.

I'm thankful to God to be so blessed to live in a country where this doesn't happen right outside my window.
