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

[sharreman10]

Unverified reports of a C-295 trying to rescue the crews of the C-130s.

What?! They left their c130 crew on ground? No way

I'm doubting that

 

[Ali_Baba]

It's a lot more embarrassing for Americans.

1 F15
1 A10
1 Blackhawk
2 C130s

Iranians clearly didn't care to capture a pilot in that uninhabited area of Iran near the Gulf waters. And probably didn't know in the beginning it was a successful shoot down.

Trump admin is trying to spin this a victory

Actually according to some reports they even destroyed another A10 in the process

the list is

1 x F15E
2 x A10 ( one crashed in the Persian Gulf, the other in Iraq )
1 x F16CJ - possible - damage and crash while returning from Iran.
2 X C130's - if confirmed ( self kills ).
2 x Black Hawks damaged.

If Iran had actual air force, they could have zoned their rescue teams approach...Arial recon could have revel pilots position using thermal instrument.

Iran's sky is naked...Iran is in even worse position than Iraq.

I was wondering why Iran isn't even surrendering, is it due to Persian arrogance. But in a war like this agist last boss and his right hand u have to well prepared.

Surrendering is not an option bro. The entire culture and the values Iran stands on and protects will be erased.

**** iranains, faking bots..fak u alll...How come u missed that baddie...cuteeee

Well hopefully that pilot is elite to sacrifice that much material

 

[sharreman10]

Yeah, we will see how things will be after Iran runs out of its old stock of missiles and drones and has to rely only on our daily productions, while Israel and the US have hit our critical civilian infrastructure and people's patience is about to end.

People in Iran haven't had access to the internet for 36 days already. Do you think this situation is sustainable? Many have become unemployed.

Let's see, time will tell.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

they lied and claimed "Stuck in the mud" clearly no mud there those aircraft got hit and became unoperational

They could have been shot down/destroyed by the Iranians but the americans are lying in order to cover up this humiliation.

What’s the alternative?

Surrender and be slaves to pax judeica? Like the Arabs?

 

[Bahrami]

Like PersinaGulf I am kinda angry with the pilot situation.

However just 1 thought:

So far Iran acted very rational and predictable. No emotional reaction, just executing a plan which is mostly: keep the war going, inflict damage and do not let them win in escalation dominance.

Im equally shocked about the forward base in Isfahan region. But what if they simply said, it is not worth it for 1 US pilot. It is not worth it to invest valuable resources for 1 guy in the grand scheme of things.

Is that wish thinking of mine or is that realistic?

@Persian Gulf might this resonante with you?

 

[Cesur]

They lost C-130, Black Hawks, an A-10, and an F-15. That’s unlikely to inspire confidence in deploying ground troops, especially considering how much effort it took to rescue just one pilot. Its a win for Iran IMO

 

[ShapurII]

What’s the alternative?

Surrender and be slaves to pax judeica? Like the Arabs?

Keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and hit Arab oil and gas infrastructure for real.

If we open the Strait of Hormuz, it will be over for us. That's our only existing card at this point.

**** Iranians, faking bots..fak u alll...How come u missed that baddie...cuteeee

that could have been best prize ever for Iranians. white folks in USA would've burnt to death.

Oh mannnnnn

There seems to be a lot of american military personnel with surname,"lynch" in the news over the years. Wasn't an american female soldier captured by the Iraqis then rescued back in 2003-2006 then rescued have a similar name?

 

[ParthianLord]

they lied about "firefights" and lied about "Stuck in mud"




1 hercules aircraft got struck with a missile and crash landed in that site,

several helicopter and another hercules got sent to the site and got hit on their way

then all the unopertional aircraft got abandoned

no "stuck in the mud" , no "hollywood style firefights" all none sense by US Media

 

[Aryan_B]

I think Americans and west in general inflate the price. I mean think about it they know the GCC type of states will pay whatever they ask. Look at how Deepseek wiped 600 billion of Nvidias market cap.

A Chinese hedge fund spun off an AI lab, built a reasoning model that matches OpenAI's best work at roughly 1/100th the cost, and accidentally triggered the largest single-day stock market wipeout in financial history. Fifteen months later, DeepSeek is bigger, more controversial, and harder to ignore than ever. https://kinja.com/ai/deepseek-ai-explained-2026

People getting mad that Iran didn’t find the operator in this region:

View attachment 190256

One side had thermal imaging + ISR + real time spy satellites + THE EMERGENCY BEACON LOCATION OF THE PILOT

the Iranian side had some nomads with hunting rifles, some Basij, and whatever local forces managed to get to the scene in their 1960s era vehicles. Keep in mind nearly all the forces probably lacked night vision goggles.

Maybe I’m coping, but the odds were always stacked against Iran due to the terrain and having no airforce ability.

People act like the pilot fell outside of Tehran.

The issue is not that they successfully rescued their pilot, it is that for some 30+hrs, helicopters were flying low level without fear to the point where they could do slow low-level air-to-air refuelling over Iranian airspace, and the entire combined armed forces of Iran did not have the common sense to load up a few trucks of soldiers with MANPADs to shoot them down... That is where Iran failed. It would not have taken much to do that, yet we didn't see that at all. If the locals could drive to the areas, then so could have low-level specialised AD teams. It is that lack of professional conduct, or skill that we all saw fail and are disappointed in.

️ Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said the US rescue mission near Isfahan ended in “complete failure,” claiming Iranian forces intervened in time and destroyed two C-130 transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters. The statement said the operation reflects another US defeat and accused Washington of spreading false narratives to cover up losses while asserting Iran holds the upper hand.
