@JRamboCap1 @academic_la Yes, I fully agree, but the Iranians have shown they can fire from hidden silos, their drones require nothing, and they seem like the kind of strategists who would not have let a scarcity of a low tech launcher crush their war effort.

@NickDurie_Alba @academic_la I have no idea how many they have. 400 would still be a lot. On par with some US missile systems. My point was that they’re not easy to make or replace like a drone launcher. You need an industrial operation to support them, especially if all indigenous.

I talked to two Israeli sources on why Iranian launches continue to increase, despite US-Israeli claims that they have destroyed almost all of the launchers. Here is what they said: 1) The 90–95% drop in volume claimed by CENTCOM earlier in the month was probably a temporary lull as Iran repositioned its remaining launchers into hardened sites. Independent satellite analysis suggests that a significant portion of the "80% destruction" claimed by the IDF actually hit high-fidelity decoys. 2) Despite fewer launchers, the lethality per strike has increased. Iran's shift to cluster warheads has allowed a single missile to impact multiple locations simultaneously, compensating for the lower volume of launches 3) Iran has successfully set up mobile, underground units able to fire at steady rates. Iran used that quiet period to move their remaining ~100-120 heavy launchers into "Super-Hardened" facilities 4) Iran is utilizing its Zolfaqar and Dezful road-mobile launchers. These units move from hardened tunnels to pre-surveyed launch spots, fire, and return underground in under 10 minutes, often before coalition drones can re-task for a strike. 5) Because these launching units are decentralized, it is very hard for US and Israeli intelligence to get info on them. Israel and the United States do not have an answer to this problem. That is why they are trying escalation on energy sources instead. But that is backfiring.

⚡🇬🇧🇮🇱 The famous British comedian Mr. Bean: “I feel ashamed of the United Kingdom for allowing Israel to besiege two million people in Gaza, cutting off their electricity, water, and medicine, and then claiming it is defending human rights.”

So today Iran crippled world gas output for years, hit an F35, and knocked the power out in Haifa after hitting Israel's only oil refinery with a ballistic missile I think it might be time to say it - Iran is winning the war

They should ask for the plane back.

Iranians are now making jokes about the F35

🚨🇮🇱 Wait, Netanyahu might actually be dead...

One of the leaders of Ansar Allah (a leftist Islamic revival movement that has driven both the US and gulf states out of Yemen at great cost - famine and mass casualties - for its leftwing, Shia and anti imperialist goals). Ansar Allah has been an unrelenting ally of Palestine.

Well the fucker is still alive. I guess he took some injury but he's still here doing his psychopathic shite.

Female Iranian footballers who returned to Iran recall how Australian police were pressuring them to not leave for Iran. She says: "When they checked our passports, each of us went into a room with a police officer. At first, when they took my hand and led me away, I was a bit scared, but I told myself it’s okay. Then we sat down; we went through a few doors, entered a room, and I sat. The security agent called someone on a phone, and I realized they wanted to ask us again: 'If you go back, it’s like this [dangerous]... your country is at war, etc. They were asking a bunch of very strange questions, hoping I might say, 'No, I don't know. I am not sure of returning.’ They kept asking those same kinds of questions. He then asked me ‘Do you want to call your family? You can contact them right now to decide if you want to stay or not.' As soon as he said that, I told the lady (the translator), 'Tell him I don’t want to stay. Anyone who wanted to stay has already stayed.' I didn’t even let him finish reading the rest of his questions; I just said: ‘I want to return to Iran.' Right then, I got a bad feeling in my heart; I was a bit scared because I really wanted to go back to Iran—I wanted to go to my family, my homeland.”

Yemen Ansar Allah Spokesman al-Bukhaiti: "Saudi FM says Iran must uphold Islamic ethics. How remarkable! Is it Islamic ethics to open your land to America and the Zionist entity to attack Iran? To bomb Yemen for 10 years -- funerals, weddings, hospitals, mosques?"

Absolute bombshell. Mearsheimer reveals Trump secretly allowed Iran to sell its oil to keep global prices under 100 dollars. But Israel intentionally bombed Iranian gas fields to ruin the plan, sending prices skyrocketing and destroying the US economy.

Trump killed Zohreh in Iran. She was not a threat. She was an elementary school teacher in Minab. She was pregnant. Trump’s Tomahawk missile killed her and her unborn baby.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

So the Chinese YLC-8B anti-stealth radar was able to detect the F-35. The US has never released any footage of this very distinct radar being destroyed, so it's still in use.

It was very sensible not to be in the war that we're fighting in with great political difficulty.

Iran: If you bomb our energy infrastructure we will do the same back Israel & US: *bombs Iranian energy grid* Iran: *reciprocates* Europe: We condemn Iran This current world order has to end. Now.

@JRamboCap1 @academic_la I understand the argument. We are to take a leap of faith that a v strategic country with many 10s of 1000s of the most sophisticated missiles in history & 80,000+ drones & the ability to make 1000s a month & 12s of missile facilities 500+m underground only built ~400 launchers.

@NickDurie_Alba @academic_la It’s a lot more than a truck. TELs have an oversized engine, multiple forged axels, a reinforced frame to support the missile weight, hydraulics to lift the boom, heat plating, not to mention all the electronics. It’s not clear that Iran can actually make all this stuff.

The hardest part of this is this. Trump could kill most Iranians, but Iran's missile cities and its very probable efforts to make these nuke proof mean Iran would simply keep firing. All the orange paedophile and his Zionist handlers can do is kill. They can't win.

So fearless independent journalist Steve Sweeney nearly gets murdered in a targeted Zionist entity airstrike in Lebanon, and *this* is how the BBC reports on it
