First Sen Murphy brags about leaking information from a... classified briefing. Then he claims that we are "not going to be able to achieve any of our stated objectives," ignoring our incredible achievements so far...such as those presented today in National Review by Noah Rothman: "To date, U.S. forces alone have conducted strikes on at least 5,500 Iranian targets, according to Admiral Brad Cooper, in accordance with the American military’s objective in this war: eliminating Iran’s capacity to “project power” across its borders. America’s operational tempo is accelerating while Iran’s is in retreat. The Iranian ballistic-missile launch rate is down 92 percent from the first day of hostilities. U.S. forces have entombed much of Iran’s stockpiles in their underground “missile cities.” U.S. drones monitor from the skies the cities that it hasn’t hit, striking them only when they observe Iranian activity. In addition, over 60 percent of Iran’s missile launchers have been disabled... "The Iranian navy is off the chessboard. According to Cooper, 60 vessels have been struck, sunk, or rendered useless to the enemy, including all four of Iran’s Soleimani-class warships. At least 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels have been destroyed. Ten of Iran’s 18 air bases have been hit and rendered inoperable. The U.S. maintains, if not air supremacy, superiority in the skies over Iran. The Iranian air force is a non-entity, as are its air defenses. As was the case in Venezuela, Russian and Chinese technology has proven unequal to U.S. capabilities, allowing the U.S. to transition away from the use of exquisite stand-off munitions (long-range missiles launched from a safe distance) toward cheaper, more abundant, precision-guided gravity munitions." Noah goes on with more, which you should read. But I ask Sen Murphy: What do you have against the real achievements of the U.S. military?show more

🚨 BREAKING: DRONE PRODUCTION FACILITY HIT IN IRAN Reports... indicate that a drone manufacturing unit linked to the Iranian regime has been targeted in Isfahan during ongoing U.S. and Israeli air operations. Isfahan is a critical hub for Iran’s military industry, housing facilities tied to missile systems, airbases, and drone production used by the regime and its regional proxies. The strike comes amid a broader campaign aimed at degrading Iran’s military infrastructure — particularly its drone and missile capabilities, which have been used to threaten Israel, U.S. forces, and Gulf states. In recent years, Iranian-designed drones such as the Shahed series have become a central weapon in Tehran’s strategy across multiple conflicts. If confirmed, this latest strike would mark another significant blow to the regime’s ability to produce and deploy these systems. The battle over Iran’s military infrastructure is clearly intensifying.show more

🛰️ Satellite imagery from Soar Atlas dated July 12... appears to show damage at both Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, which is used by U.S. forces, and the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet support area in Bahrain. Iranian semi official media are circulating images from both sites, saying they were struck during Iran’s July 12 attacks and that the imagery confirms the accuracy of its drone and missile strikes. U.S. officials have not publicly confirmed the reported damage.show more

BREAKING: Iran has started launching a heavy wave of... ballistic missile and drone attacks against U.S. and allied military sites across the Gulf in retaliation for today's U.S. strikes on Iranian territory. Jordan: Iran reportedly fired 12 ballistic missiles toward Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, with preliminary reports of three impacts. Jordanian air defenses were activated. The base is believed to host U.S. F-35 fighter jets. Bahrain: Sirens have sounded, with Fars News reporting explosions near American military facilities. The latest reports suggest Iran may be targeting the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters. Kuwait: Explosions have also been reported as Iranian missiles targeted regional military sites. UAE: The Ministry of Defense said UAE air defenses are intercepting ballistic missiles and drones. Multiple explosions have been reported across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, marking the first reported Iranian strike on the UAE in over two months. Qatar: Initial reports also indicate explosions. Note: In a previous Iranian strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, satellite imagery appeared to show damaged or destroyed hangars.show more

Since the start of the conflict with Iran, Israeli... Air Force fighter jets have dropped over 2,000 bombs in hundreds of strikes against Iranian regime targets and military sites, according to the IDF. The number is around half of what the IAF used over the entire course of the 12-day war in June 2025 -- but in just 36 hours. During those 36 hours, IAF fighter jets have carried out over 700 sorties, the military says. The military says that it achieved aerial superiority within 24 hours of the start of the operation, after taking out numerous Iranian air defense systems in western Iran. IAF fighter jets are now using "stand-in" weapons over the capital Tehran, meaning bombs dropped directly over their targets, rather than ranged missiles. The military says it seeks to maintain air supremacy as it carries out strikes on regime targets in the Iranian capital. "In recent hours, air force aircraft have been operating with air superiority over the skies of Tehran, striking and destroying numerous targets," the IDF says in a statement. The IDF says that the targets included ballistic missile launchers, air defense systems, and headquarters. At the same time, IAF fighter jets, helicopters, and air defense systems have shot down more than 50 drones launched from Iran at Israel, the military adds.show more

Video shows a U.S. fighter jet crashing in Kuwait... as a pilot is seen parachuting down on Monday. The American F-15 fighter jet and two others were shot down over Kuwait in what the U.S. Central Command called "an apparently friendly fire incident" during an Iranian attack on the Gulf country. The aircraft were "mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses," CENTCOM said in a statement Monday, adding that "all six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition." The F-15s came down amid attacks on Kuwait from Iranian aircraft, missiles and drones, according to CENTCOM, which the U.S. and its regional allies have been trying to intercept. People watching in Kuwait as the U.S. pilot parachuted from the crippled jet initially thought it was an Iranian pilot.show more

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: The US military carried out “SELF... DEFENSE STRIKES” on Iran’s Qeshm Island, before Iran launched missiles at US military installations in the region NO US servicemembers were injured, thank God. One of the Iranian missiles seems to have BROKEN APART in the air, causing burning shrapnel to rain down on Kuwait Full statement from CENTCOM: “U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2. Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces. Moments earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters. American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island.”show more

The Israeli Air Force has dropped over 12,000 bombs... in Iran since the start of the war, in over 8,500 separate strikes on Iranian regime targets, the military says. A senior IAF official says that "in 18 days, we flew as much as we would in a year." Of the 12,000 munitions, 3,600 alone were used in strikes in Tehran, according to the IDF. IAF fighter jets have carried out 5,700 separate sorties, including over 540 to central and western Iran and 50 deeper east in the country. Military officials say that the IAF is carrying out constant air operations over Iran to thwart ballistic missile fire on Israel, using new techniques that allow for longer operations without the need for refueling. In this formation, dubbed "metro sorties" by the IAF, drones and fighter jets loiter before carrying out strikes on ballistic missile launchers, Iranian soldiers, and other targets, based on "real-time information." When a new target is identified, IAF aircraft can be quickly dispatched to strike it. This was the case for the killing of Iran's intelligence minister, Esmaeil Khatib, in Tehran yesterday, according to the IDF. Officials say this effort relies on maintaining air superiority over Iran. The military assesses that its strikes have destroyed around 85% of Iran's air defense and detection systems. More than 300 targets relating to Iran's air defenses, including missile launchers and radars, have been struck, the IDF says. In terms of Iran's advanced air defense systems, the IAF assesses that it has destroyed 92% of them, with only a handful of such systems remaining, including some that are hidden and not in use. The IDF says it has destroyed around 80% of Iran's older air defense systems, along with 80% of its radars. Iran also has what the military describes as "decentralized" air defense systems, where missile launchers are connected to various optical systems, such as rudimentary cameras with artificial intelligence tracking software, to target Israeli aircraft. Some 75% of these systems have been destroyed, and military officials acknowledge they are much harder to locate than the advanced systems. Additionally, the IDF says it has destroyed or disabled around 60% of Iran's estimated 470 ballistic missile launchers. Some previous military estimates put this number at 70%. Around 200 of the launchers were destroyed in strikes, while another 80 are not considered to be operational after the IAF struck tunnel entrances to subterranean facilities where they are stored, according to the military. The IAF says it continues to hunt down the remaining roughly 200 launchers to reduce the missile fire on Israel. The military also assesses that Iran still has hundreds of ballistic missiles that can reach Israel. It has so far launched over 350 at Israel, with the rate of fire slowing to 10-20 missiles a day in the past week, with just one or two missiles at a time.show more

Quick recap of today’s sequence of events: via Brodie... K. - Analyze & Educate “Summary: Resumption of Iranian strikes - Yesterday, UKMTO reported that a vessel off the coast of the UAE was struck by a projectile. Subsequently, the government of the UAE released a statement saying thag the targeted vessel was an ANDOC national tanker and condemned the Iranian strikes. - Early Morning: Likely in reaction to the declaration of the U.S.-led Project Freedom, the IRGC-N announced the creation of a new control area in the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to strike violating parties. - Iran claimed to have targeted and struck an unspecified U.S. destroyer that was in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM subsequently denied that a vessel was struck, but stopped short of clarifying whether or not any vessels were targeted. -Mid-morning: Iran resumed ballistic missile and drone strikes against the UAE, targeting the UAE’s primary oil and gas export location of Fujairah. - In response to the Iranian uptempo in strikes and offensive action the U.S. struck 6-7 Iranian fast-craft operating in the locality of the Strait of Hormuz. - Iran continued strikes against the UAE. At the time of writing, per the UAE Ministry of Defense, since the resumption of Iranian strikes, Iran has launched 4 UAVs, 12 ballistic missiles, and 3 cruise missiles at the UAE. 3 Indian nationals have been moderately injured as a result. - Gulf nations, including Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, have condemned Iran’s actions.”show more

💢 NEW: Iran’s IRGC claimed it struck the U.S.-operated... Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan with several ballistic missiles, destroying a command-and-control center and hangars housing MQ-9 drones. In a statement carried by Fars, the IRGC accused Washington of pressuring Oman and encouraging several vessels to use what Iran described as an unauthorized route through the southern Strait of Hormuz. It said the Iranian navy stopped the ships with a “decisive response.” The IRGC said the U.S. then launched airstrikes on Iranian coastal bases and communications towers along the country’s southern coast. Iran responded by targeting U.S. military facilities across the Gulf, beginning with key infrastructure at Prince Hassan Air Base.show more

RC-135 Deployments Signal Imminent Attack: Myths and Realities of... Iran's Military Power The RC-135 is a family of large reconnaissance aircraft operated by the ISAF. These jets are designed for ISR missions, providing near real-time data to military commanders and national leaders. The primary variant focuses on detecting, identifying, and geolocating electromagnetic signals, such as communications, radar emissions, and electronic warfare activities. Based on past experience, the early arrival of these aircraft often signals that an attack may be very close. But what about Iran, what capabilities does it actually have? There are many myths surrounding Iran's military power. Here are some key points: 1. Israel did not overfly Iran during the 12-day war This is implausible. Most part of the munitions used included bombs like the GBU-28 and GBU-31, both with ranges under 25 km, which suggests they could only have been dropped from inside Iranian territory. 2. Iranian missiles have poor accuracy In 2025, several Iranian missiles were launched against targets in Erbil, Iraq, with excellent precision. During the 12-day war, Iran struck the Weizmann Institute and the Haifa refinery with high accuracy, as well as some Israeli launchers, all in an environment of heavy jamming. The truth is that Iranian missile accuracy depends on the model. Iran has missiles in its arsenal that are more than 15 years old, but there is no evidence that the precision of its modern anti-ship missiles is deficient. 3. Iranian air defenses are of very poor quality This cannot be stated with absolute certainty because they were never fully tested. Israel's ground sabotage operations were highly effective, successfully disabling radars and most short-range air defense systems. Iran does not keep its long- and medium-range air defenses permanently deployed, and consequently none of them were destroyed during the 12 days of war. 4. Iran has no radars capable of detecting stealth aircraft In 2024, Iranian radars locked onto Israeli F-35s while they were still over Iraqi territory. In 2025, Iranian-supplied radars integrated into missile batteries in Yemen also locked onto and fired at U.S. F-35s on multiple occasions, nearly downing one. 5. The high technology of U.S. ships and aircraft will paralyze Iranian weapons This would only happen if the Iranians turned their systems off, as reportedly occurred in the Venezuela case. So far, Iranian equipment has proven extremely resistant to interference. Shahed drones continue to operate accurately, and after years of Western efforts, they have not been successfully jammed. This will pose a major challenge for the Americans. 6. The U.S. Carrier Strike Group will easily crush the Iranian navy They would destroy Iran's large ships in minutes, but they would face enormous difficulty against mini-submarines, USVs, UAVs, UUVs, and fast attack craft equipped with missiles. In additional, the U.S. drones would not have complete freedom for target acquisition and would have to rely on LEO/ISR sats. Iran possesses drones like the Karrar, a jet-powered interceptor equipped with air-to-air missiles that can operate at 15,000 meters to deny U.S. drones freedom of action. The Israelis lost an unknown number of drones during the 12-day war, though losses were reported. Summary Does Iran have any advantage? At sea, against the current Carrier Strike Group and considering all of Iran's resources, I would say Iran holds an advantage, evidenced by factors such as missile range, number of containers, tubes, VLS cells, drones, mines, submarines, anti-ship missiles, and other assets. However, once the focus shifts from the sea to the air, the American advantage is overwhelming, both in satellite intelligence and in combat aviation. And this is the type of war the Americans know best.show more

Iran war, day 89! Trump keeps breaching the ceasefire!... Just how compromised is Oman? -4 American vessels, attempted to cross the SOH without coordinating with IRGC security forces -They were warned, and following their disregard, warning shots were fired at them, forcing them to turn back. -4 drones were fired as warning shots Meanwhile, Kosher media lies as usual and claims: -that IRGC fired 4 one-way drones at a U.S. commercial ship! -The U.S. military shot down all the drones and attacked another Iranian drone launching unit on the ground before it launched in Bandar Abbas, the official added -no mentions of the 4 invader vessels attempting to breach iran’s control of the SOH, and failing miserably! Per Reuters, the U.S. military has executed new strikes on an Iranian military facility that “posed a threat to U.S. forces and commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz”. -no mention of the U.S. military invasion of a sovereign territory. However, -U.S. official told CBS News the Iran ceasefire holds following tonight's strikes. -interesting how no accusation was made against Iran breaching the ceasefire despite kosher media’s bs claims. Analysis: The U.S. is testing out Iran’s ability to strike U.S. ships with limited breaches to gauge where Iran is striking from each time. Iran isn’t providing a predictable pattern and is sticking to its protocol of warnings, warning shots, and then on standby to escalate. Ynet Hebrew news on Iran’s demand for compensation: Tehran sets new conditions - the US must pay $300 billion in compensation! -Trump/Israel keep raising the price for a peace deal How is Trump’s bs blockade working out? Per WSJ: Despite the naval blockade, Iran continues to sell its oil! -The ship-to-ship transfer of oil in the middle of the sea reveals Iran's main strength and the main reason for its ability to resist US pressure for a long time. -Per the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, Tehran earned about $31 billion in oil revenues from China last year. -this is conservative figure as most of sales are unaccounted for -The Chinese government explicitly ordered local companies not to comply with US sanctions against five Chinese refineries. And now Iran is selling its oil and maximum capacity, at higher prices. Pre war oil was at $70/b. It’s around $100/b. Trump did that! Nobody fears Trump’s bs blockade, sanctions and tariffs! Trump keeps barking anyway! Trump reserved the right to now wipe out Oman and finish off Iran! -I thought Iran was already beat according to Trump! As for Oman: Oman can be considered the most staunch supporter of the U.S. presence in the Persian Gulf region. The first military agreement between the two countries was signed in 1980. Currently, 26,000 American air force units are stationed on the territory of this Arab state. In addition, U.S. military aviation units assigned the private security firm DynCorp International to guard various parts of the base, including aircraft hangars, fuel storage, ammunition depots, automobiles, and administrative buildings. Oman hosts multiple US military bases: -the bases of the Navy in Rycote, Sit Lahsa and Muscat. -the U.S. air force bases are in al-Hasib, Siba, Markaz Tamarid, and masir. -the air force base in masir and the port of Matra are permanent bases of the US armed forces. -Oman hosts the command post of the US air force. -From American air bases in Oman, drones (UAVs) are periodically flown over the territories of many countries, up to Afghanistan. Iran for whatever reason trusted Oman as a mediator state at one time. Trump said he is not sure the U.S. should sign a deal to end the war with Iran if Saudi Arabia and other gulf slave states don't agree to join the Abraham Accords! They owe it to us he says!
