#BREAKING #EXCLUSIVE
The US military has accelerated the deployment of thousands of Marines and sailors to help reinforce US troops in the Middle East amid the war against Iran.
Four officials tell Newsmax the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit is deploying ahead of schedule from the West Coast and is expected to sail through the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East region after the Navy was ordered to surge additional fire power.
The Boxer Amphibious Ready Group includes the USS Boxer amphibious assault ship—which serves as a mini aircraft carrier—and USS Portland and USS Comstock amphibious landing ships. There are roughly 2,500 Marines--4,000 total service members aboard these three amphibs.

This is a reported new deployment of 4,000 service members including roughly 2,500 Marines to the Middle East from the US West Coast (different deployment than the one we've been hearing about the past few days). Includes three ships for amphibious assault & landing.

If Netanyahu is saying this, expect that the White House will soon begin or has already begun looking for an “off ramp” in the conflict against Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admits that while there are signs “cracks” appear to be forming in the Iranian Regime, it is possible that the regime will indeed survive the ongoing Iran War.

@elonmusk @diana_dukic I like a tweet about an F35 being hit by Iran, then my entire feed is that same tweet by hundreds of different accounts. This actually makes me want to just stop liking any tweets ever.

In February, Iran offered Trump unlimited inspections (beyond Obama deal w/sunsets), down-blending its enriched uranium stockpile & U.S. corporations to run Iran's nuclear energy. Israel launched this war to prevent a permanent peace deal. The most insane war in modern history.

From the last frames of the F-35 being hit by Iranian air defense.
It looks like some shrapnel got into the air intake and damaged the engine, but the airframe looked largely intact.
The important thing here is not whether a F-35 was shot down, it was the fact that Iran's air defense was able to detect, track, lock onto and shoot and damage a F-35.
This alone is a form of deterrence, forcing the US to continue using expensive standoff munitions with their non-stealth aircraft and avoid using F-35 with impunity.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has release a statement, accompanied by video footage, which claims to show the targeting of an American F-35A/B Lightning ll with a surface-to-air missile in the skies over Iran. This claim by the IRGC follows reports that a F-35 was damaged and forced to make an “emergency landing” at an air base in the Middle East due to hostile fire over Iran.

Iran appears to have scored a successful hit in the vicinity of Israel's Haifa oil refinery moments ago.

Absolutely morbid black comedy that the U.S. government is removing sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil in 2026 not as part of any celebrated peace deal or diplomatic normalization but as a last-ditch effort to soften the blow of a historic energy crisis caused by a U.S. war.

Many people wouldn't have liked it when I called Iran a rational actor.
But consider their actions so far.
-Did not close Strait of Hormuz until there was an existential threat to their country
-Did not attack critical energy infrastructure until theirs was targeted
-They have once again threatened that they will destroy the regional energy infrastructure if theirs is attacked, prompting Trump to announce no more of Iran's will be targeted
-They have demonstrated the capability to destroy the entire energy infrastructure of the Gulf and yet, they are holding themselves back.
Compare this with Israel and USA's actions so far:
-Decapitation strike against Iran while negotiations were progressing well (Oman confirmed this) and a ceasefire was in place.
-Targeted Iran's energy infrastructure knowing fully well that there will be retaliation.
-Initiated a war they have no means of winning without plunging the entire world into an apocalypse.
Which side is the rational actor here?
Sensei Kraken Zero@YearOfTheKraken
Because: 1. Iran is a rational actor. 2. The threat to close the Strait of Hormuz was the enforcement of their red line. 3. Their red line was crossed [regime change war], hence, they shut down the Strait. What would others have done? They would have done exactly what US-Israel are doing now. It's also the reason nothing can be done about it now.

General q - why didn’t Iran use Hormuz closure as a way to extract multiple concessions (economic, security, political) over the years? What would others have done if they did, and why can’t same be done now?
