CENTCOM Conducts Airstrikes Against Iran-Backed Houthi Missile Storage and Command/Control Facilities in Yemen TAMPA, Fla. - U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted precision airstrikes against a missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis within Houthi-controlled territory in Sana'a, Yemen, on Dec. 21 Yemen time. CENTCOM forces conducted the deliberate strikes to disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the Southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden. During the operation, CENTCOM forces also shot down multiple Houthi one way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles (OWA UAV) and an anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) over the Red Sea. The operation involved U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy assets, including F/A-18s. The strike reflects CENTCOM's ongoing commitment to protect U.S. and coalition personnel, regional partners, and international shipping.

‼️🇺🇸⚓️U.S. naval aviation capabilities continue to demonstrate advanced force projection at sea. Footage of stealth aircraft conducting vertical deployment operations from a carrier platform highlights the integration of low observable technology with carrier based mobility. The combination reflects sustained investment in power projection, survivability, and rapid response capability. Naval air power remains a central pillar of U.S. military strategy.

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.

🚨 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.”

🚨🇺🇸🇸🇾 U.S. F-16s FLEX OVER SYRIA AFTER ISIS-LINKED ATTACK ON AMERICANS The U.S. Air Force just lit up the skies over Palmyra and central Syria with F-16 “show of force” flights… a not-so-subtle warning after ISIS-linked fighters ambushed a joint U.S.-Syrian patrol. Multiple American soldiers were seriously wounded. And yes, they're still there, in a warzone most Americans forgot even existed. This isn’t ancient history. It’s today. Roughly 900 U.S. troops remain in Syria as part of an ongoing mission to prevent an ISIS resurgence, support local Kurdish and Arab partner forces, and stabilize the region. This latest air response signals Washington’s commitment to that mission, even as the conflict slips further off the public radar. And when F-16s show up, it means something went very, very wrong. Congress isn’t disclosing further information, the media is barely reporting on this, but the jets are flying either way. Source: OSINTdefender, Fox News

This past week, I had the honor and privilege of visiting the incredible service members of U.S. Southern Command, Special Operations Command South, Joint Interagency Task Force South, U.S. Central Command, U.S. Special Operations Command, and Special Operations Command Central. The decisions, planning, and coordination taking place across these headquarters directly affect the service members, units, and interagency partners operating in some of the world’s most challenging environments. These warriors give 110 percent every day accomplishing the mission, defending our nation, and taking care of one another under the most difficult circumstances. Our responsibility is clear ensure they have the leadership, equipment, training, and support necessary to accomplish their missions and, most importantly, bring them all home safely back to their families when the mission is completed. Our country should be immensely proud of these Americans who protect us every day and night, often in distant and dangerous places. They represent the very best our nation has to offer. It was an honor to spend time with them and to personally thank them for their service, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our country. May God continue to bless our service members, their families, and the United States of America. 🇺🇸

Unfortunately, I noticed that CENTCOM released footage of the destruction of a historic fighter jet at the 3rd Tactical Fighter Base of the Iranian Air Force in Dezful. It was a decommissioned MiG-23BN of the Iraqi Air Force that had defected to Iran in 1991 and I was trying to have it transferred to the Iranian Air Force Museum in Tehran in 2012. However, the aircraft remained in Hamedan following to my arrest by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence, and unfortunately this historic aircraft was destroyed today. This MiG-23BN defected to Iran in January 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, and it was one of the over ten MiG-23s that defected to Iran. Unfortunately, almost all of them were scrapped in Dezful and Hamedan and their wreckage were moved to Tehran, and the last one, which was supposed to be displayed in the museum, was finally destroyed by a U.S. Air Force MQ-9A drone in Hamedan. I also noticed that all F-4s of Shahrokhi Air Base had already been evacuated from the base to protect them from the threat of U.S. airstrikes. Therefore, what remained there was this historic MiG-23BN of the Iraqi Air Force, which was parked in one of the hardened aircraft shelters. I never managed to photograph it myself but I have a photo of this in my archive and I will release it. #OperationLionsRoar #OperationEpicFury

The problem is that Russia and China could block a UN mandate, and most allies are hesitant to jump in. Officials say this isn’t about “war,” it’s about forcing open a global economic lifeline Iran is accused of holding hostage. Source: Financial Times

According to a release from U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), at the direction of SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) conducted an interdiction of a vessel in the Eastern Pacific Ocean that was acting as a refueling station in support of illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations for the Los Choneros narco-terrorist organization. After the individuals on board were turned over to Ecuadorian authorities, the vessel was destroyed Following the lull in such operations, after the twin earthquakes in Venezuela and subsequent U.S. support operations there, the tempo of U.S. SOUTHCOM operations against designated organizations in known drug trafficking maritime lanes has picked up significantly.

During the Obama and Biden administration the U.S operated two military bases in Niger. A CIA facility in Niamey and a Predator drone base in Agadez, 750km from the Nigerian border . It was a critical asset for AFRICOM to monitor regional threats. The base in Agadez was the largest airman built project in U.S Air Force history, built at a cost of $110 million. From these bases, the U.S conducted regular armed patrols. Yet, despite this presence, U.S. counter-terrorism involvement in the region was strikingly limited. Over more than eight years of operations, there was not a single American kinetic strike against terrorist targets anywhere in the region. Nigeria repeatedly requested U.S. intelligence support and military equipment to combat terrorism. Those requests were rebuffed. The Obama administration declined to share intelligence gathered from its patrols and suspended the sale of military equipment to Nigeria.
