IRGC DEMANDS A NUKE AS U.S. MILITARY PREPARES FOR STRIKES A former IRGC commander now running Iran's Supreme National Security Council says nuclear weapons are "not off the table," and Iranian lawmakers are openly calling for the bomb. Iran's president still says they aren't seeking one. So who's actually steering the ship in Tehran? Meanwhile, reporting says the U.S. is planning several days of strikes on Iran's nuclear, missile, and energy targets after the November 3 midterms. No decision has been made, but the planning is real. As a former F-15E Strike Eagle pilot, I break down Pickaxe Mountain, the tunnel complex near Natanz buried deep in granite, and how B-2s, the GBU-57, and our tankers would crack it. Hint: you don't vaporize the mountain. You seal its doors and its lungs. Plus: the U.S. intel warning on Iranian plots against Americans, a Houthi missile intercepted over Riyadh, and Russia's latest drone attack on Kyiv. The blockade holds. The tankers keep flying. Watch the days after November 3. Full breakdown on YouTube now. Link in bio. #breakingnews #currentevents #militarynews #maxafterburner #newsalert

The Houthis say they shot down a Saudi F-15 over Marib with a "locally made" surface-to-air missile. They posted a targeting-pod clip and wreckage photos with a tail number. Here's what's actually on the table: the wreckage looks like a Saudi F-15. But the engagement video and the debris field aren't linked, nothing's geolocated, the Houthis gave no date, and some analysts think the strike clip is a rendering. The crash-site images haven't been verified either, and AI-generated wreckage is now cheap enough that a photo alone proves nothing. In 2018 they posted "hit" videos on jets that landed fine. Riyadh hasn't said a word, and the crew's status is unknown. Meanwhile a U.S. carrier in the Gulf is showing off bunker busters on the hangar deck, and reports say a U.S.-contracted vessel took four drones and a missile near Hormuz. Claim, evidence, and what comes next — full breakdown on the channel, link in bio. #Houthis #F15 #Hormuz #BreakingNews #iranwar

A hundred warplanes at dawn. Mine depots and explosive drone boats burning in Hodeidah. 🔥 The Saudi-led coalition just launched Operation Yemen Dawn against Iran's Houthi proxies, and the targets tell you everything. When you hit the mines and the drone-boat warehouses, you're clearing a shipping lane. You don't spend a dawn strike package on a mine depot unless you plan to sail tankers past it next week. ✈️ The Houthis say they lost nothing. Saudi Arabia says they just attacked two of its airports. 🤔 Who's telling the truth? Drop your call below 👇 Full breakdown on YouTube, link in bio. 🇺🇸 #Houthis #MilitaryNews #MaxAfterburner

Saudi Arabia and Iran's Houthis are now trading major blows — and the fight for Yemen, the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb is escalating fast. The Houthis claim 129 Saudi airstrikes across Yemen in 48 hours, naming Saudi F-15s and Eurofighter Typhoons in their own account. And they're still taking ground. Because a sustained air campaign isn't jets and bombs. It's ISR, tankers, command-and-control and a sensor-to-shooter chain that has to close every single night. That's what Riyadh needs, that's what's missing, and it's why CENTCOM's Adm. Cooper sitting down with the Crown Prince matters more than any single strike. Full video on the channel

The IRGC is threatening to hunt ships across the whole Gulf. Meanwhile, at home, Iran's own soldiers and police were hit by four armed attacks in 24 hours. A minibus of Iranian Army soldiers was ambushed during a shift change in Nikshahr. A police commando patrol came under fire near Zahedan. A police headquarters was hit with explosives and RPGs in Jalq. A county police chief was taken out in his own car in Faryab. A militant group calls itself the People's Fighters Front and claims three of the four attacks. Tehran officially admits three lost, and monitors say at least five. And deep inside Russia, Ukraine just hit the Redkino plant, which Ukraine's military says makes fuel components for the Kh-101 cruise missiles Russia fires at Ukrainian cities. A cruise missile in the air is the hardest link in the chain to kill. A fuel plant can't duck, can't jam and can't hide. Two of America's adversaries are taking hits at home. And now Putin is passing Iran's messages to the President. Full breakdown on the channel. #Iran #MilitaryNews

IRGC hit by a roadside bomb inside Iran. Putin threatening "all weapons" over Kaliningrad. Russian missiles exploding inside Moldova. Here's what's real, what's spin, and why it matters. 🧵 🇮🇷 IRAN: In Sistan-Baluchestan, Iran's southeastern province bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Revolutionary Guards admit they lost a fighter to a roadside bomb. Local reports say five members of the IRGC-run Fatemiyoun militia were lost, but that number is unverified. Nobody has claimed the attack. It's the latest in a string: a Guards brigadier general lost in Saravan on Sept 23, a six-hour firefight in Rask, and an Intelligence Ministry office shot up. All this while the rial collapses to about 263,000 to the dollar. The lesson: a force that brags it's ready to take on the United States can't keep one road open in its own province. Every convoy now needs an escort, and every checkpoint ties down troops. Meanwhile, American carriers are still headed their way.

Something INSANE was just spotted over Tehran. 👀 Multicolored lights, no sound, multiple angles, and nobody in Iran will say what it is. It showed up 50 years to the day after Iranian F-4 Phantoms chased a light over the same city and lost their instruments and comms. Same weekend: a B-1 thunders out of RAF Fairford, the IRGC promises new weapons that will "astound" the world, and a tanker takes an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz. Former F-15E pilot breaks down what's real, what's unverified, and what nobody can tell from a fence-line video. Full video on YouTube, link in bio. #Iran #B1Bomber #MaxAfterburner #BreakingNews

Iran shot at a U.S. warship twice. Missed twice. CENTCOM took five IRGC oil tankers off the board before dark — ten in a week. Then Tehran fired 20 missiles at Jordan. 18 intercepted. IRGC claims it hit two destroyers. CENTCOM: "completely FALSE." Former F-15E pilot breaks it all down 👇
