Qatar arrests 300 people of all nationalities for spreading misinformation about the war.

I'm assuming it's posts like these that get people arrested:

It is claimed that King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has left the country,

That the people have taken to the streets, and that there is a possibility of an internal uprising.

If this is the case, it means the US
"5th Fleet Headquarters" has been seized.

In Bahrain, where a large portion of the population is Shiite, previous attempts at uprisings were suppressed by the Saudi Arabian army.

If the Bahraini Monarchy is overthrown, the US and Israel will have lost a major "fortress" in the Middle East.

Iran has hit Bahrain a lot and there were protest against the government when this started. Wouldn't surprise me if the King fled.

'Occupied East Kurdistan' is a new one to me.

ETA, translation:
Quote:
Today, the American and Israeli air forces destroyed Iranian military bases in the city of Paveh in occupied East Kurdistan.

These bases were military fortresses; imagine how many martyrs we would have lost to remove these bases from our land.

Everything that is happening is in our favor.


Yes, not the best source, I know. We also apparently struck a few Iranian oil tankers, but waiting for a better one on that.

Sorry all I haven't checked my X feed in the last day and this is all really good information so I'm sharing it. Not trying to spam the thread.

I'm posting from sources that have been known to be mostly reliable in the past or from accounts that are reposting information from reliable sources.

It is appreciated. This thread is my only source of information on the current conflict. I stay off X and dont read the tabloids much anymore.

The geography is just confusing to me. If it was intercepted there and fell in Turkey, could it have intended to go further south toward Israel?
Edit: it was apparently headed toward Incirlik.

These people are terrorists masquerading as freedom fighters. They provoke then hide behind their women to create outrage at the response. They don't want freedom. They want annihilation of the Israeli people "from the river to the sea". You cannot negotiate with that. I cannot understand how people in the world can't see what is really happening.

And of course they won't condemn Iran. They are Iranian puppets. I feel like Qatar might be using this to finally be rid of the "obligation" to help. Everyone has been too scared to provoke Iran, but it looks like that time has ended.

Could these ships be a part of the Chinese supply lines carrying military components that was discussed over the weekend?

Won't an outright attack on Turkey by Iran trigger NATO Article 5?

I wonder if Russia is specifically pressuring Iran to make such an attack, knowing that there's no way Article 5 actually gets triggered, and the whole idea of NATO just then falls apart.

As long as the NAC votes on it…but yes it would.

However…do we want the Turks getting involved when the Kurds are likely to be the ground force here?

Yeah, if you want to cause some chaos then attack the wildcard NATO country that is half-in and half-out.

Why wouldn't it? Turkey using it to go after Kurds would be a mess but various NATO countries are already responding.

I haven't seen reports of strikes on Tehran tonight. This could be ending.

Naw this won't be over until we find and take their Nuke fuel. Think there are going to be special Ops missions to find and take the fuel, as well as blowing up the facilities from inside. think they have 4 or 5 nuke facilities

I think that is why Trump and Hegseth are saying there will be more casualties. While we will try and take out their forces around the sites as much as possible through the air, there will still be a lot of enemy troops there. They probably have many troops there and will be waiting hiding

I do not think our bunker busters are getting the job completely done

the only way we can avoid that route is if they surrender and agree to be a similar situation as Venezuela. Let us come in and inspect and take what is necessary

I do not expect them to do that. They have a big army, and trained well. It would be nice to figure out a way to draw their army out so we can take them out from the air. IDK how you could do that?

Right now they are probably hiding within the cities, and we definitely do not want to go in to the cities, we'd lose a lot of men

Incirlik is an international base with ~50 B61 nukes. Iran keeps shooting at targets where US and Israel is allied with.

That's a bold mission considering that stuff is likely way underground and heavily guarded. Plus, Trump only has until April 29 to get this done.

Too much division and ambivalence within allied countries about the legitimacy of the war.

How is 'Iran' still launching missiles? Have we not destroyed their infrastructure? Where and what are they launching from?

Are we not able to track the launch origin and destroy the launcher?

Are they launching from mobile trucks that are hidden from US intelligence?

Help me understand like in five years old.


yes, as others have stated Iran is FIVE TIMES THE SIZE OF TEXAS

have you tried to fly over Texas and find a single truck hiding in a tunnel before?

Thought that's were AI was supposed to help - give it a series of satellite images and identify all roads that end in a mountain. Do that over and over and over again.
