BREAKING via @CBSNews: Nearly 100 US service members have been injured in Iranian attacks on multiple bases in the Middle East this month, US officials told me. Some suffered traumatic brain injuries. Most have already returned to duty, two of the officials said. Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the numbers in a statement to CBS. "While nearly 100 service members were deemed to have some degree of injury since July 7, 2026, 96% have returned duty. They are determined to get back in the fight. The vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions. Further updates will be posted on the Defense Casualty Analysis System. God is good!" Parnell said. cbsnews.com/live-updates/i…


Tanker Fleet Update #IranWar It's been quite a while since I've done one of these (over 6 weeks) due to external factors, so my list was fairly out-of-date when I came back to it. I've spent part of the last 24hrs updating it all, resulting in the following: 217 tankers of note: - 97 in CENTCOM - 77 in Europe - 41 recently returned to the US (since 6th July) - 2 exact locations unknown On top of this, a further 59 airframes returned to CONUS from Iran Ops more than 2 weeks ago, and a further 4 airframes have been confirmed destroyed or damaged. I will try to get back into a routine of posting an update at least once per week, as circumstances permit! @MATA_osint @ArmchairAdml @vcdgf555 @TheIntelFrog @steffanwatkins @AUX_OSINT @hey_itsmyturn @Faytuks
