Over the next few weeks, keep your eyes on the Middle East

International war reporters at Bellingcat (they do fantastic work all over the world) have footage of the missile strike on the Mina IRGC base and you can see smoke already coming from where the school is https://bsky.app/profile/bellingcat.com/post/3mgku3c37uk2k

Great idea. I will do just that.

According to Axios and Israeli media the US is pissed at Israel for hitting Tehran’s oil facilities. They told us they would but we didn’t realize how extensive it would be. We are reportedly concerned it will rally Iranians to the regime

Isreal wants to turn Iran into a waste land. The USA supposedly wanted a functioning country

This was a good thread with a lot of seemingly connected people. Now it seems to be a shitstorm. There is a whole board for the direction this thread has gone.

Fox News knew it was such a bush league move that they actually opted to show footage of previous transfers where Trump wasn't wearing a baseball hat while talking about the story yesterday. They issued an apology today after their viewers noticed.

In fairness Fox News was preoccupied counting the 750 million they owe

The main board is just full of people calling everyone retard. I don’t want to discuss politics I want to discuss the operation and pros/cons

imagine Fox News if this was Biden's grandkid. my god this whole family is deranged, but hey they want everyone else's teenagers to get ready to go die. let them eat cake.

Okay…I’ve never posted in the main board thread.

I’m seeing chatter online but can’t find any sources about how we/Israel have hit Iranian water infrastructure. Bahrain officials are on Al Jazeera saying that Iran has used drones to hit Bahrain’s desalinization plants. This is an escalation in the war (and I believe targeting water infrastructure is outlawed by the Geneva convention)

So is assassination…….

Yeah, it really sucks. I was following this thread for updates on what's going on. Now it's just people like @tboonpickens wasting space by posting useless tweets from news networks he doesn't like.

We need to open the Straight of Hormuz. It appears that all of Iran’s Naval Assets are destroyed. I assume they still have some anti ship missles and drones that could be used to target ships. What can we do about it?

Either get a ceasefire or invade southern Iran. Our anti-Houthi campaign has been a bust--Red Sea shipments down 80%

Only fear has shut them down. There's no Naval threat. There's no CDCM threat. There's no indiciation of mining.

What is CDCM? Missles? Are the drones an issue?

I did not know that about the Red Sea. I saw an Italian naval ship was escorting some vessels today.

Missile and drones, especially drones, are an issue. It’s not fear, it’s dollars and cents. Insurers think the risk is too high as do shipping companies

I thought they'd wouldn't be shut down. Tell us more?

This is true
Family that's military told family members to remove anything identifying association to the military so they won't be targeted
Even the ROTC at the school can't wear their uniforms

Good call. I do hate it when us westerners force those pacifists to aloha snackbar a train station or shoot up a church service.

Biden would not have even been there but Trump showing up and wearing a hat is their arguing point...orange man bad. He could sure cancer and they'd say it took too long

Good Morning, this is our daily PSA to keep the thread to Operational and Strategic information and questions. No need to spam the thread with editorials, ai generated bs, or memes of our favorite politicians. I am sure no one sits around the firepit, picnic table, or bar high top, stroking each other's egos or worse. Restrain ourselves to our worst impulses to the comfort of our own bathroom. This thread should not be anyone's spank bank.

Really sad for the families of the service members we've lost to drone strikes during this war. Our administration reversed course after Iran started hitting targets.

 

[GDead_Tiger]

Hezbollah stepping up their activities in Southern Lebanon and missile attacks into northern Israel. I believe one strike got through the Israeli defenses. Potential for Israel to get bogged down there and have to turn attention away from Iran

at least use legit sites if you are going to post info. This is a known troll account that uses AI generated content. I'd fact check some of the things you just throw into this thread. Lots of incorrect information on X...don't believe everything you read. They have a ton of fake accounts all over that just post stuff to get people worked up. Been doing it since at least the Ukraine stuff started. Just google them...you'll see that they spread misinformation and have changed their name multiple times...

And they do fundraisers and I bet people actually give to them

CBS is reporting that the US military has intel showing that Iran will mine the SOH soon. IF true, represents a major escalation

Honest question - How will they do that if their Navy is destroyed? Proxies?
