Strait of Hormuz Situation

@DustinIq87658 And you decide to post it online. You are a piece of shit

Please do it for her!

@LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS The mad man has woken up

Having a diplomatic end to the war that achieves the United States’ key objectives for Iran is the preferred outcome. I really appreciate the hard work of @POTUS’ negotiating team, which has defined diplomatic breakthroughs that can end this war in a way that prevents Iran from being the largest state sponsor of terrorism, having missiles that terrorize the region and the world, and forever closes a path to a nuclear weapon. However, we must remember who we’re dealing with in Iran: an evil regime that is severely wounded and has cheated at every turn. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a scenario that cannot be allowed to occur is that the Iranian regime clung to survival because it acquired control of the strait and blackmailed the world.   It must be clear that when this war is over - either via diplomacy or military action - that control of the Strait of Hormuz does not lie with Iran. As to the highly enriched uranium, it is imperative that not one ounce be allowed to exist in Iran - buried or not. Under President Bush ‘43, the U.S. was allowed to go in and dismantle Libya’s nuclear facilities and enrichment capability, and remove all enriched uranium. This model should be followed in Iran because we cannot allow any highly enriched uranium to remain in the country as it will either be turned into a dirty bomb or could be enriched to weapons grade material in the future. When it comes to Iran and nuclear enrichment deals, they always cheat. President Trump is right to insist that any negotiated deal meets our military and strategic objectives. If Iran balks, he’s right to blow up their crucial infrastructure so they can’t go back to their old ways. This war must end in a fashion — either through diplomacy or military action — that prevents Iran from going back to their old ways. If we achieve this result, there will be a gateway to peace in the Middle East previously unimaginable in its scope. We’re so close to achieving a strategic victory. Let’s finish the job.

🚨🇷🇺Chechen Fighters ‘Ready to Deploy’ to Iran if U.S. Launches Ground Invasion: Reports indicate that Russian Chechen military units have declared their readiness to deploy to Iran in the event of a ground invasion by the United States and Israel. These combat units, loyal to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and integrated into Russia's security apparatus, have stated they will intervene only if the current conflict escalates beyond air and missile strikes. Characterizing the potential mission as "jihad," Chechen forces have framed the intervention as a defense of the Islamic Republic against Western aggression. Intelligence suggests these fighters could be stationed at strategic locations, including Kharg Island or coastal sites along the Strait of Hormuz. If Putin approves, Russia could quickly send up to 1,000–5,000 elite rapid-deployment troops to Iran. However, a larger deployment remains unlikely due to logistical challenges and political complications stemming from the ongoing war in Ukraine. Moreover, sending Chechen soldiers to Iran would place them in direct confrontation with elite American Tier-1 special operations units and sustained U.S. air superiority. Who do you think will win that war?

😁🇺🇸🇮🇷 What happened in Isfahan?

@Osint613 And then US blew up 12 of their own aviation. What a load of bull crap. Oh… Israeli account? What a load of cow dung.

I don’t understand how the IRGC still tries to project military power when it can’t even control its own soil. Within 48 hours you have a pilot and a WSO down inside Iran. Then over 100 U.S. special forces enter your territory. Low flying helicopters across your mountains. C-130s landing inside Iran. A-10s and MQ-9s overhead hitting anything that gets close. Iranian forces don’t even reach the area. On the ground, U.S. teams reach the WSO after a firefight and clear the area, killing any and all IRGC fighters in their way. CIA runs a deception campaign, sending Iranian forces in the wrong direction. No U.S. deaths. No captures. Bottom line, when any real forces show up, the IRGC cannot stop them on their own soil. Very embarrassing.

@SkyNews Y’all deluded if you believe Iran can accept this nonsense

BREAKING: Iran and the U.S. have received a two-tier plan to end the war between the two countries, a source aware of the proposals has told the Reuters news agency. Read more: trib.al/3Roj7a8 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

The US doesn't have allies anymore because they DO NOT trust Trump‼️

In making sense of a complex event, it's often best to start with the facts and then work backwards from there. So what are we to make of this weekend in Iran? My theory is we just saw an attempt to seize Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium unravel. Down the rabbit hole.⬇️ Let's run through the timeline and the location of key events first: The evening of April 2nd, the Iranian military released a video of them shooting down a USAF aircraft. This was initially claimed as having occurred over the Persian Gulf, but apparently occurred near Isfahan. Wreckage corresponding to an F-15E of the 494th Tactical Fighter Squadron was recovered from a site south of Isfahan the morning of April 3rd, although geolocation of the very barren crash site took some time (fig. 1). The afternoon of April 3rd, a number of USAF HH-60s and an HC-130 fueler (!) were spotted operating further south and west in Iran, over Kogiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, as well as at least one A-10, an MQ-9 Reaper, and apparently an F-35. An antiaircraft battle developed and the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) HH-60s (fig.2) and an A-10 were damaged, with the A-10's pilot ejecting over the Persian Gulf. The HH-60s were reported as "damaged" and one was photographed trailing smoke. Reports emerged at that time that the pilot of the F-15E (which had crashed near Isfahan, although this was then-unclear!) had been rescued, while the WSO remained at large. Provincial authorities in Kohgiluyeh asked civilians to be on the lookout for an American aviator around this time and numerous photos of militia searching for him emerged. The next day passed relatively uneventfully. The evening of April 4th, however, there was a report of more helicopter activity slightly further north, in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, accompanied by a washed-out photograph of an unknown helicopter flying very low on a very dark night (fig. 3). Later that night news emerged that the F-15Es WSO had been rescued... and that C-130s had been abandoned and scuttled at a forward base in the Isfahan area during the withdrawal of a company-size SOF force that had landed in the area, over 100 operators ostensibly having been sent to rescue one aviator. Photographs that emerged as dawn broke showed two burned-out C-130s and several destroyed MH-6 Little Bird SOF assault helicopters, in a scene reminiscent of the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw (fig. 4). A USAF C-295 tactical transport was caught on video around that time flying in Iran - presumably outbound - at extremely low altitude. So, what are we to make of this? First and foremost, the official story - that a huge direct-action SOF force landed near Isfahan with assault helicopters and heavy transport aircraft to rescue one fugitive airman - is nonsense. Not because the USAF won't go to extreme lengths to recover isolated personnel - it can, will, and did in this case - but because that's an absolutely nonsensical way to accomplish that mission. It's a totally inappropriate force package for a mission to go in, extract a single person from a remote area, and leave. Ergo this SOF task force was there on other business. So how were the pilots actually recovered? In all likelihood, exactly the way you would expect them to be recovered - by USAF PJs in long-range helicopters, under cover of darkness. The rescue force probably recovered the pilot from the Isfahan area late at night on April 2-3 and were caught in daylight as they exfiltrated, leading to the aforementioned antiaircraft battle the morning of April 3rd and a high-risk refueling over Iranian territory that was filmed by many Iranians on the ground, as well as a shot-down A-10 trying to clear a path for the helicopters to exfiltrate. The WSO was likely recovered from his hide site near Isfahan by HH-60 in a quiet and deliberate operation the night of April 4-5. One or two birds, in and out under cover of darkness - a far cry from the gung-ho stories currently being spun. So what about the SOF rodeo happening at the same time? Well, why was an F-15 flying downtown to Isfahan the evening of April 2nd to begin with? Probably because there was a huge direct-action raid planned in the Isfahan area for the night of April 4-5, likely going after enriched uranium at an underground facility in the region, and the Iranian air defenses around Isfahan weren't going to suppress themselves. The plan was likely to fly several MH-6 assault birds and a sizable force of operators via C-130 and C-295 to a forward staging area near Isfahan the evening of April 4th, hit a reported cache site or sites for enriched uranium, and try to make it out with the magic dust by daybreak on April 5th. In any event the USAF wasn't going to send transports somewhere it wouldn't send strike aircraft. So the Air Force cashed its check on claims of air superiority and in went the strike package the evening of April 2nd - and lo and behold one of the F-15Es went down because reports of the demise of the Iranian air defense network had been greatly exaggerated. Any rational planner would have scrubbed the SOF operation at this point because they'd lost control of the situation and the Iranian defenses had proven more effective than planned. We went ahead anyways and inserted the SOF task force the evening of April 4th. I strongly suspect that this force was immediately discovered by Iranian drones that would have been up and searching for this WSO, because five transport aircraft including at least two C-130s (about what would be required for a bunch of Little Birds and a company-sized element of operators with equipment) landing at a desert airstrip 50km from Isfahan (and in the same general area where the WSO was taking cover) would be pretty God-damn obvious to anything with thermals. Iranian troops immediately deployed and began converging, the task force probably took indirect fire, and the operational commander immediately aborted mission and retreated in the three remaining operational aircraft. Scuttling charges on delayed fuzes burned two C-130s and an unknown number of MH-6s that had been abandoned at the airstrip around dawn. The story that they were there to rescue the WSO was concocted at that time to cover the disastrously failed raid, as were logistically implausible claims that the task force had been rescued by three additional aircraft after the two C-130s got stuck on the LZ and were scuttled - perhaps to minimize the scale of the effort. Claims that a large battle took place appear to be similarly exaggerated - video has emerged of a single group of Iranian militia apparently killed in a drone strike, but nothing of the nonstop bombing and firefights that were rumored across Telegram all night. I remind the reader that the events of the last few days have proven quite conclusively that Iranians seem to have plenty of internet access to post photos and video when they actually have something worthwhile to film. I'd like to note that Hegseth fired General George - US Army Chief of Staff - on April 2nd, apparently because he just wasn't a good fit for the job and definitely not because he'd told him that this whole scheme was insane. It seems to me that the good General's advice should have perhaps been heeded.

Absolute masterclass by Iran. BBC's top correspondent confirms Iran has put a complete stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, reducing traffic from 130 ships to just 5. She admits any US attempt to take control by force is completely impossible. Washington is defeated.

@ArmchairW You and I were obviously composing our recent posts at the same time, although mine is posted a little bit in advance of yours. We vary on certain points, but there is much similarity. x.com/imetatronink/s…

The Iranian account of the US rescue mission narrative. It's always best to listen to both sides...

"Do you support Israel's 'right to exist'?" It's a 'gotcha' queston and I debunk all the BS surrounding the 'right to exist' propaganda right here:

🇮🇷🔥 Abu Azrael, "The Angel of Death," has arrived in Tehran. Real name Ayoub Falih Hassan al-Rubaie, born 1978 in Iraq. Former university lecturer, one-time Taekwondo champion, and father of five. He first took up arms with the Mahdi Army against US forces during the 2003 invasion, then became one of the most feared commanders against ISIS in Syria and Iraq as part of the Popular Mobilization Forces. He's now in Tehran coordinating with the IRGC on plans for a potential US ground invasion. The man who fought the Americans in Iraq is back, and ready to do it again. His catchphrase: "Illa tahin" — "Grind you to dust."

The Japanese are also joining the show! 😂

It doesn't look as a successful operation to me… New Footage Released of U.S. Warplanes Destroyed in Iran.

Thread: Just to keep track of KOWN U.S./Israeli Airpower losses & out-of-service cases - 2 F-15 (claimed friendly fire) - 1 F-15 (Kuwaiti F-18?) - 1 KC-135 (claimed shot down by Iraqi militias) - 1 KC-135 (damaged, claimed mid-air collision) - ~20-30 Hermes-900 (claimed by Iran) - ~10 Heron family (claimed by Iran) - ~20-24 MQ-9 Reaper - 1 KC-135 (heavily damaged on the ground) - 3 KC-135 (damaged on the ground) - 1 F-35 (heavily damaged/crash-landed) - 1 F/A-18E (light damage by SAM) - 1 KC-135 (destroyed on the ground) - 2-3 KC-135 (claimed damaged on the ground) - 1 E-3 AWACS (destroyed on the ground) - 1 E-3 AWACS (claimed damaged on the ground) - 2 EC-130H (claimed destroyed on the ground) - 1 UH-60 Blackhawk (hit by Iraqi FPV drone) - 1 F-15E (shot down) - 1 A-10 (shot down over Strait of Hormuz) - 1 A-10 (damaged & crashed, northern P. Gulf) - 1 HH-60 (hit and crash-landed in Iraq) - 1 HH-60 (hit by small arms, damaged) - 1 CH-47 (hit on the ground, irreparably damaged) - 2 HC-130 (hit/destroyed on the ground by U.S.) - 4 MH-6 (destroyed on the ground by U.S.) There almost certainly notably more losses of aircrafts in Israel & Jordan as well as those in hangars in the Persian Gulf Arab U.S. bases ➡️ Everyone is invited for corrections, additions and cost calculations in the comments

Fantastic work and sacrifice was put in to get that American pilot out of Iran and it should be admired. But can we talk about the media difference between Russia and the U.S. Russian Su-34 (F-15) goes down with pilots stranded. Russias rescue operation then losses Su-25 (A-10) 2 Ka-226 (MH-6) 2 AN-12 (HC-130) two MI-8 damaged (blackhawks) The memes would be unbelievable.
