US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

If not Russians, then who? The Chinese? North Koreans?

Russians have been buzzing us with Bears, TU-160s, ISR aircraft and sometimes SU-34's for decades (post-cold war) using the Bering Strait and Chukchi Sea corridor, and lesser extent Shemya Islands, USAF has not stationed or deployed fighters to Shemya during that period. As for Chinese being the reason I highly doubt it it's not the PLA's M.O to test Alaskan ADIZ they've only done it once in 2024 and that was during exercise with Russian bombers. AS NK def a no.
Something is definitely up. Couple folks I know who might be in Poland are suddenly silent.

I need to call my oldest spawn. Her husband had orders for CONUS (I won't post where). Will be interested to know if that has changed.

I really don't know what to make of this a few days ago I was rolling my eyes when family members would talk about this but not anymore. Btw November 17th there's going to be nationwide EAS test which will cover TV and radio last one was 2023 that was for cellphones.

A lot of US military flights particularly tankers headed east - are now no longer using the Mode-S hex of AE05A5 - instead using a code not assigned to the United States.

Context:
This is an attempt to mask movement of aircraft from prying eyes.

Official statement below, but this so far is same Iranian chest thumping we have seen previously. Looks like Qataris returned empty handed - or at least with terms not palatable with either Iran or Uncle Sam.

""" Order of the Commander-in-Chief to Senior Armed Forces Commanders Regarding Any Potential Enemy Threat: An immediate, effective, and geographically unrestricted response Senior commanders of the Armed Forces met with Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

During this meeting, the Leader of the Revolution described "intelligent combat readiness for powerful confrontation with enemies" as an imperative for "maximum deterrence," ordering that any level and type of threat must be met with an immediate, effective, and geographically unrestricted response.

Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei stated:If the enemies resume military or terrorist attacks, it will be the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian nation who determine the timing and conditions of their conclusion.

The Commander-in-Chief also emphasized strengthening military intelligence architecture, deepening indigenous defense in both "doctrine" and "tactics," expanding modern defense and security capabilities utilizing emerging technologies, and enhancing spiritual resolve and the jihadist spirit, alongside tireless efforts to meet the livelihood and logistical needs of the Armed Forces.

In another part of the Commander-in-Chief's directives, it was ordered that the target database be updated such that all types of material and non-material assets of the American–Zionist enemy fall within the reach of the Armed Forces.

He highlighted public national support for the Armed Forces as a cornerstone of deterrence against foreign anti-Iran entities and their domestic operatives, adding: The eight-month presence of the mobilized nation in the arenas extends the eight-year Sacred Defense, which, alongside the steadfastness of the military, law enforcement, and Basij forces,has protected and will continue to protect Iran's territorial integrity and the Islamic system.

Appreciating the steadfast resilience of the Resistance Front across various countries, the Supreme Leader considered the unity of arenas to be a decisive variable with a strategic impact on shaping the new political and security order in West Asia, expressing hope that this new order will increasingly foster unity among Islamic nations and governments toward establishing the modern Islamic civilization.

Major General Abdollahi (Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces), Major General Hatami (Commander-in-Chief of the Army), and Major General Vahidi (Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), while presenting reports on the readiness of the country’s defenders along the Persian Gulf coasts, the operational zones of the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, and the northwest and southeast borders, also reported a multifold increase in the production of various types of reconnaissance, support, and combat ammunition and weaponry.

Expressing satisfaction with the measures undertaken, the Commander-in-Chief requested the senior military commanders to convey his gratitude and appreciation to all military, law enforcement, and Basij personnel, as well as the staff of these organizations, the Ministry of Defense, and their honorable families.
