BREAKING: 52 MISSILES. ZERO IMPACT. Read that again. Fifty-two coordinated Iranian missiles launched at a United States Navy Carrier Strike Group. And they didn’t scratch the USS Abraham Lincoln. While an E-2D Hawkeye circled high above the Gulf of Oman… watching… scanning… calculating… the entire salvo was detected in...

🚨BREAKING…🚨 Iran just launched roughly 20 ballistic missiles toward Israel, with reports that at least two impacts occurred in Tel Aviv. Let’s be clear about something many people misunderstand. Missile defense systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow are not designed to achieve 100 percent interception. No missile defense system in the world does. Their purpose is to reduce casualties and protect infrastructure by intercepting the majority of incoming threats. When you see reports of “missiles penetrating Iron Dome,” that does not mean the system failed. It means the defense network is doing exactly what it was designed to do… intercept most while minimizing damage from the few that get through. Iran’s strategy is saturation… firing waves to try to overwhelm defenses. Israel’s strategy is layered interception and destroying launch infrastructure. Two completely different forms of warfare colliding in real time. And while missiles are being launched tonight… Launch sites, depots, and command networks are being targeted in response. This is not just a missile exchange. It’s a war of logistics, interception rates, and infrastructure destruction. Watch the launchers… not just the missiles. That’s where the real war is being decided. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

🚨This is what interceptor reality looks like today: Systems like Russia’s S-300 are high-tech air defenses. They can, in theory, shoot down aircraft, cruise missiles, and even ballistic missiles. But modern attacks don’t try to beat these systems head-on. Instead, they use swarms of missiles, drones, and decoys to overwhelm radar and confuse interceptors. Low-flying cruise missiles slip under radar coverage, while electronic warfare jams sensors. In the Russia-Ukraine war, ballistic missiles and drones are used together. This combination makes strikes deadlier, even though Ukraine intercepts up to 90% of drones. In the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, Israel's multi-layered air defense systems such as the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow 2/3 have achieved high but not perfect interception rates against Iranian ballistic missiles. The numbers still favor the attacker: defenders may have dozens of interceptors, but attackers can launch hundreds of targets. Air defense gives you better odds, not certainty. Every missile launched is a roll of the dice, and the math always catches up eventually.

The Iron Dome aerial defense system is protecting millions of Israelis from hundreds of ballistic missiles from Iran. I spoke with some of the women who operate it. They are working around the clock to monitor and intercept these threats because they know exactly what is at stake. This is what it looks like when a country is under attack and fighting to keep its people alive. 🇮🇱

🚨CMSGT. Dennis Fritz: ‘Iran is the LAST STAGE of a playbook that goes all the way back to the George H.W. Bush administration. This is the last phase of taking over the Middle East. You hear talk about ballistic missiles, and we saw them firsthand during the retaliation by Iran on Israel after the attack on their nuclear facilities. I see war as probably 50/50 right now or more because of that stage when you saw the unrest in Iran that was staged by the Mossad, with help from the US and British intelligence units. This has always been part of a plan because they were truly, and I really mean this from the playbook I personally saw in the Pentagon, afraid of Iran’s ballistic missiles. That’s why when Trump first came into office, he got rid of the JCPOA, because they wanted Iran’s ballistic missiles included in that. And I will tell you, Iran will not get rid of those ballistic missiles, because that is their lifeline of survival. And now I think we’re going to go to war because the latest unrest was not successful.’ Watch the full interview below in the quoted post, or watch it on Rumble, link below in the replies👇

Iran is not Venezuela The Iranian side announced two things: 1. The Iranian missile attack resulted in the deaths of approximately 200 American soldiers. 2. Iranian missiles destroyed an A/N FPS-132 Block 5 radar system, an advanced phased-array radar system deployed by US forces in Qatar. This radar has a detection range of 5,000 kilometers, and its primary mission is to provide early warning of ballistic missiles to the United States and Israel. Didn't the kidnapping of Maduro without any casualties give Trump excessive confidence?

The US Navy is terrified. Trump accidentally admits Iran launched a massive swarm of 101 hypersonic missiles directly at the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. The Pentagon is playing Russian roulette with the lives of thousands of American sailors.

BREAKING: You can see that the IRGC Aerospace Force has also used ballistic missiles to target the Al-Jubail oil facility in Saudi Arabia tonight in retaliation of US/Israeli airstrikes at Iran's oil facilities in Asaluyeh. Saudi Air Defense did not react at all! No THAAD or Patriot PAC-3 activity. They spent billions of USD for those systems and not a single interceptor was fired at the incoming Iranian missiles! What is also very strange is that Saudis can be heard celebrating as the Iranian ballistic missiles hit their own largest oil facility—I don’t understand why they are celebrating this. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

⭕🇺🇸Phalanx CIWS: The U.S. Navy’s Last-Ditch Shield Against Incoming Missiles The Phalanx CIWS remains one of the most critical defensive systems aboard modern warships, designed to intercept threats in the final seconds before impact. Developed for the United States Navy, the system operates autonomously, using onboard radar and electro optical sensors to detect, track and engage incoming targets without human intervention. At its core is a 20mm M61 Vulcan Gatling gun capable of firing up to 4,500 rounds per minute. This allows Phalanx to neutralise anti-ship missiles, aircraft and fast-moving surface threats within a range of roughly one to two kilometres. As missile technology advances and reaction times shrink, systems like Phalanx provide a crucial final layer of protection, ensuring that even if outer defences fail, a warship is not left exposed at the point of impact.

Russia continues to place far greater hope in missiles and in killing people on the frontline than in diplomacy. This must be changed. The key to this is to continue supporting Ukrainian air defense, and the most important element today is protection against Russian ballistic missiles and other types of missiles. Now, because of the war in Iran, the supply of missiles for Patriots has become more problematic. On Tuesday, I sent a special letter on this matter to the President of the United States and the United States Congress – a detailed letter covering all aspects of what is needed and how the supply of a sufficient number of Patriots – missiles and systems – can influence the end of the war. We hope for a response, and I am grateful to all senators and members of Congress, to all our friends in the United States who are sympathetic to my appeal. From a joint press conference with Ulf Kristersson. (2/3)

Zelensky in Sweden: Because of the war in Iran, the supply of Patriot missiles has become more complicated. On Tuesday I sent a special letter to the President of the United States and to Congress, outlining every aspect of what is needed — how a sufficient supply of Patriot missiles and systems could help bring this war to an end. I believe Europe must have, here at home on its own continent, all the capabilities necessary for protection. We need our own European ballistic missile defense — in sufficient numbers and with sufficient capabilities.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 Amid rising military buildup in the Middle East due to the high risk of escalation between the United States and Iran, the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group has been deployed to the region. The carrier is operating alongside three Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers. 1. USS Spruance (DDG-111) This is an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer. It provides air defense, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare support for the carrier strike group. 2. USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) Another Arleigh Burke-class destroyer assigned to the Lincoln strike group. It supports the carrier with layered defense, surface warfare and strike capabilities. 3. USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG-121) This Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is part of the escort group. It often serves as a command and control ship for integrated air and missile defense within the strike group. These destroyers are sailing with USS Abraham Lincoln as part of Carrier Strike Group 3 and have recently arrived in the U.S. Central Command region due to the current situation involving tensions with Iran.

President Zelenskyy: "Our Warriors showed good results today in shooting down drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. The reason is the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles. It is crucial that the world - above all the United States and our European partners - leave the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions to strengthen our air defense and, therefore, protect the lives of ordinary people. As long as missiles for Patriot systems remain in our allies’ warehouses, they only encourage Russia to keep 'defeating' residential buildings. The United States and Europe have the capabilities to stop this terror." 📹: Reuters

For the first time, an intercontinental ballistic missile hit a European city today. Those missiles are not designed for civilian areas. The Kremlin just to cover it up at a press conference. Because even they know this looks disgraceful. What happened in Dnipro is actual escalation. While Ukraine use strategic missiles to hit military bases, Russia puts them into residential buildings.

🇺🇸 After Iranian strikes hit THAAD radar systens, U.S. CENTCOM launched a rather comical PR response, releasing footage of interceptions of some Iranian ballistic missiles. This messaging is likely aimed not at Iran, but at the Gulf monarchies. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, seeing American radar systems being struck, are beginning to ask whether they are really paying for reliable security.

Amazing to see Iron Dome intercepting so many ballistic missiles (that penetrated the Arrow defense system). Iron Dome was designed for intercepting rockets, not missiles. This improvement is due to the amazing work of the scientists and engineers.

💥 WATCH: Footage shows the USS Bulkeley, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, launching Standard Missiles in support of Operation Epic Fury. Standard Missiles are the U.S. Navy’s primary air-defense interceptors, designed to take down threats ranging from aircraft to ballistic missiles. When a destroyer starts firing Standard Missiles, it means a serious threat was detected—one the Navy couldn’t risk letting reach its target. Stay connected, follow Mossad Commentary.

‼️🇺🇸 💥USS Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer | Precision Strike Platform The USS Arleigh Burke class destroyer is one of the most powerful surface combat ships in active US Navy service. In recent operations, these destroyers have been used to conduct long range precision strikes using the Tomahawk cruise missile. How it works Arleigh Burke class destroyers are equipped with the Mk 41 Vertical Launch System. This system allows the ship to fire Tomahawk missiles directly from the sea without warning and from a safe distance. Tomahawk missile role The Tomahawk is a long range, land attack cruise missile designed for high accuracy. It can strike command centers, air defense sites, radar stations, and high value infrastructure deep inside enemy territory. Guidance is achieved through GPS, terrain matching, and advanced navigation systems. Why the US Navy uses destroyers for strikes Using destroyers for missile strikes provides flexibility and speed. These ships can operate close to conflict zones while remaining hard to detect. They allow the US to project power without relying on nearby air bases or large carrier groups. Strategic impact When a Burke class destroyer launches Tomahawk missiles, it sends a clear message of deterrence and dominance. These strikes are precise, controlled, and designed to limit collateral damage while achieving military objectives. Modern naval warfare is no longer just about ships at sea. It is about reach, accuracy, and decision making within minutes. The Arleigh Burke class destroyer represents that reality.

What is Netanyahu expected to say to the president? The main problem with the ballistic-missile story is that the Iranians have caught on to the daylight—the gap—between Israel and the United States. What happened here is that Donald Trump gave his word and then broke it. "We will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons." But he didn’t talk about conventional weapons—the ballistic missiles that threaten Israel. They threaten Israel to such an extent that Netanyahu himself, in a video announcing to the Israeli people that he was launching Operation Nation of Lions, said that two existential threats had developed. The nuclear threat—you’ve known about for years—but also the threat of thousands of ballistic missiles. What has happened since then? The Iranians are not acting at all on the nuclear front, as far as we know. They have not even extracted the enriched material buried underground. But they are very much intensifying their experiments with ballistic missiles. Either because they think it is threatening, or because, as Netanyahu says, it is an existential threat to Israel. We also have a race between the number of their missiles and the number of our missiles—and let’s say that both countries need to recover on this issue. Let’s ask the question now, and here I don’t have an answer. When Netanyahu goes to Washington to talk to Trump about this, is he talking to him about a combined attack—which seems a bit far-fetched to me, because the Americans really have no intention of getting involved in a conventional weapons conflict anywhere in the world; otherwise they would never get out of it—or is he content to give Israel permission to attack on its own, with the U.S. providing a defensive umbrella? One. Two, it should also be said, in this context, that there is a big debate in the Israeli cabinet and at the top about whether it is possible to launch an attack every six months. You cannot—unlike the nuclear project—you cannot eliminate the Iranian ballistic threat. Is it sustainable to come every six months, eight months, and launch another round, which includes them firing at us, all the flights leaving Israel, and all the implications for the economy? There is no decision in Israel. There is no decision in the U.S. that's what they will discuss.
