Chairman of the JCS Gen. Dan Caine: "The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz."

🚨 Iranians on the ground are actively helping locate regime officials for targeting. Former Israeli National Security Advisor Eyal Hulata says large numbers of Iranians are providing real-time intelligence, not as agents, but as regime opponents after being massacred in recent protests. He described a new dynamic where ordinary Iranians are identifying officials, their movements, and hiding places, feeding that information into Israeli and U.S. intelligence systems. In one example, locals helped identify the location of Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani and his deputy Seyyed Karishi, who were hiding in a tent in a wooded area before being eliminated. These are the same individuals involved in killing and suppressing Iranians, now being located by Iranians themselves and exposed for targeting. These tips are cross-checked and acted on, showing unprecedented internal cooperation and deep penetration inside Iran.

In order to damage a target, a Shahed-136 must actually hit it. That’s not what wer’e seeing… In Ukraine - only about 3%-4% of these UAVs hit their intended target. In Israel - none have. A Shahed-136 mainly functions as an air defense saturation system. Attempting to achieve a direct hit with a Shahed-136, in an A2AD environment, will cost more than using an American Dark Eagle hypersonic missile, you’ll need hundreds to ensure a single hit.

Why are we allowing Iran to transit its vessels through the Strait of Hormuz when ours cannot? This makes no sense.
