How much longer will we pretend old designs can’t outlast the new ones? Case in point: A-10 Warthog Satellite images just showed 24 A-10 Warthogs parked at a Jordanian airbase, right on Iran’s doorstep. This jet was supposed to be retired years ago—too old, too slow for modern air wars. But Iran doesn’t fight with fighter jets. It fights with swarms of cheap Shahid drones, fast attack boats in the Strait of Hormuz, and proxy militias that hide in civilian areas. Against those threats, the A-10 is a perfect predator. They’ve fitted it with laser-guided rockets to swat drones out of the sky without wasting million-dollar missiles—some Warthogs already sport drone kill markings on the fuselage. Its 30mm GAU-8 cannon turns small boats into scrap metal, and its ability to loiter for hours makes it a nightmare for anything moving on the surface. In February 2026, A-10s were photographed circling U.S. mine-hunting ships, training for exactly this fight: low, slow, and devastating. The bird isn’t dying. It’s being reborn for the asymmetric wars of tomorrow. What does it say about modern warfare when a 50-year-old plane is suddenly the best answer to today’s threats? Follow for more daily mind-blowing American wins.

‼️ MEET ALI LARIJANI’S SUCCESSOR Hossein Dehghan has replaced Ali Larijani as Secretary-General of Iran’s National Security and Defense Council. A longtime IRGC commander and former Defense Minister, Dehghan played a key role in Iran’s military operations abroad. In the 1980s, he helped oversee IRGC activities in Lebanon that laid the foundation for Hezbollah. He has also been linked to the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings that killed 241 U.S. Marines and 58 French troops. @selenaryan_ Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

@EliAfriatISR This guy has more lives than a black cat. Every time people say he's died, he always seems to come back to life. There needs to be A LOT more confirmation from both the Israeli and US governments that he is indeed dead. Until then we can only assume that he's still alive.

🚨🇮🇷BREAKING: DRAMATIC reports on Iranian opposition channels about the DEATH of Mojtaba Khamenei in the hospital. the incessant firing at Israel seems like a "Barrage of honor" for someone who will probably NO LONGER inherit the leader's chair.

Starmer has gone out of his way to not only destroy relations between the US and the UK, but to also destroy the UK itself. Between massive illegal migrants flooding into the country, the Chagos disaster, and the immense lack of funding for the military, don't know what Charles can do to save the country.

@ArmyRecognition x.com/bulkeley_john/… Had a feeling the A-10 would eventually show up back in February. Glad to see it's finally there. The 30 mm cannon on that jet will make short work of these speedboats.
John Bulkeley@bulkeley_john

@MarioNawfal @Osint613 I also don't think the IRGC has ever seen one of these, an AH-1Z Viper, or an A-10, in action. I'm sure both of these assets are in the area too. Speedboats tend to fold against missiles and cannon shells.

@JMichaelWaller It would be kind of hysterical if Russia decided to invade Greenland right now. Wouldn't those morons in Greenland be surprised they were the real enemy all along?

@johnkonrad How come this guy and the UN has done absolutely nothing to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine? Isn't that what they're there for? When it comes to doing anything, the UN is about as useful as a fish with a bicycle.

BREAKING: Out of fear and desperation, the U.S. Navy is undertaking every possible measure to put an end to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the Islamic regime of Iran. They have just conducted a heavy airstrike against Bandar Lengeh port, targeting as many commercial and military vessels as possible. Around 30 vessels are on fire right now. #OperationLionsRoar #OperationEpicFury

@bennyjohnson x.com/EricLDaugh/sta… The state is broke paying for all their welfare and corruption and it's only going to get worse with Mamdani. Anyone who can leave NY is leaving NY. And once Wall Street starts relocating out of the city, NY is finished.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 LMFAO! New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is being mocked nationwide after she BEGGED people to move back from Florida 4 years ago, she was GLOATING, saying Republicans should "jump on a bus and head down to Florida" Mamdani will make the problem EVEN WORSE!

New York City’s budget is $127 billion. Florida’s ENTIRE State budget is $117.4 billion. While New York is collapsing — Florida is thriving. It’s the top 10 economies on Earth, it’s cleaner and safer. Not one person who has left New York City for Florida has any regrets 🙌🏻🇺🇸

@bulkeley_john @SprinterPress Israel was created in lies and on the blood of true Semitic peoples with Westerners as instigators and accomplices, so this country cannot do without lies, massacres and it cannot do otherwise, it will end up destroying itself.

🇮🇷 IRGC: If attacks continue, we will destroy the entire energy industry in the Persian Gulf The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has stated that Iranian forces will destroy the entire gas and oil industry of the Persian Gulf countries if Iran's energy sector is targeted by attacks again. "We warn you again that you have made a big mistake by attacking Iran's infrastructure. If this happens again, further attacks on your energy infrastructure and that of your allies will not stop until complete destruction, and our response will be much harsher than tonight's attacks," the IRGC statement released Wednesday evening said, according to Al Jazeera.

I see France has decided to ignore their own military coalition that's supposed to secure the strait of Hormuz. Just like Germany France is going to come to regret saying those words. "We are not a party to the conflict" Also, Iran has a kinetic vote in this conflict and they have repeatedly targeted French interests and killed French troops in the region so yes, France is a party to the conflict

Macron says France will “never” join operations to secure the Strait of Hormuz: “We are not a party to the conflict.”
