Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

U.S. official: 232 U.S. soldiers injured since the start of the war with Iran

that isn't what I said. I said, and I repeat that the video is fake and I didn't ever say an F-35 wasn't hit. You clutch on to that straw, hitting that F-35 remains the only bright spot in a rather gloomy future for Iran. That too after the US has been flying over your head non-stop since late February. We have 600 more F-35's and thousands of other assets a single damaged F-35 is hardly going to change the outcome.

It is definitely not going to change the outcome, but do you know what it will change? Your future buyers who believed the US 5th generation fleet to be invincible, if a country like Iran with virtually non-existent air defense can bring it down, imagine what China can do. Japan and South Korea will be a lot more nervous now, as would Europe.

You are right and I believe the cost of this war is baked in. Patrick Henningsen even talked about a likely global energy scenario as a result of this war if the Americans win: Basically controlling several major energy routes/ sources where America would be able to dictate terms on 'extortionist' prices.
But, as you said, 'only time will tell'.

I think we will see scorched earth across most of ME before the IRGC lose control of anything.

Unlike the americans, the IRGC are not afraid to die.

For someone who has been in office as long as he has, Graham is an idiot.

The US has had a long line of SecDefs who were never of flag rank. Including one who was an E-5 or was it E-6? Hegseth would be in the lower tier amongst them.

Don't you think if there wasn't Mike Huckabee, Jared Kushner, Steve Whitkoff and Pete Hegseth Iran war could've been prevented? While sane voices within republican's sphere are being silenced or sidelined. Cue Joe Kent.

You can’t “fly higher” when you are expending your most valuable stand off munitions that have long production times.

Within a week or two you will have to resort more and more to normal bombs and JDAMs, which will require fighter jets to get closer and lower (relative to standoff not lower like hugging the ground).

I'm quite sure JDAMS (GPS guided) don't work better at lower altitudes. i think you mean laser guide GBUs

Also I doubt they even train much for low level bomb dropping as dumb bombs in fighter jets is mostly a thing of the past handled by maybe A-10s.

Even that supposed footage of F-18 strafing seemed odd as they have like only 5 seconds of ammo so swooping down low enough to take a potshot at something seems a little weird.

Incredible to have so much generals and heads killed, I wonder how many traitors are still remaining in their vicinity.

I think this daily roll call by Zionists is a deliberate policy. They hide their own casualties etc, We don't need to be told every single person by name and anyways its war we expect people to die.

This is to demoralise Iranian people and their supporters

It's looking more and more like seizing Kharg is indeed the American plan now. A good article with no paywall.

A sample from this article illustrating what this crop of White House fools continue to think :

'We need about a month to weaken the Iranians more with strikes, take the island and then get them by the balls and use it for negotiations,' a source with knowledge of White House thinking said'

Former U.S. pilot who deployed to the Middle East. Wish some of our American friends on here would listen to reasonable analysis rather than focus exclusively on kinetic damages.

He truly does not understand the nature of NATO. NATO is a defensive organization not offensive. Iran did not attack the United States,

it was just the opposite so of course NATO wouldn't get involved. That's not what article 5 is meant to be
