Holy shit, catastrophic morning for the US air campaign in Iran: – F-15E Strike Eagle SHOT DOWN over Kohgiluyeh province — wreckage confirmed by The War Zone – Ejection seat FOUND and photographed by Iranian civilians – Rescue helicopter ALSO reportedly shot down – Iranian state TV broadcasting BOUNTY for American pilots — "a valuable reward" – Civilians RACING to crash site in private vehicles to collect – CENTCOM in FULL DENIAL — "All fighter aircraft are accounted for" – 2 crew members — pilot and weapons systems officer — MISSING – Running total: $4,830,000,000 in assets DESTROYED. 25+ aircraft. 6 F-15s DOWN. – Trump, 24 hours ago: "Eviscerated." "Essentially over." – These would be the FIRST American POWs of the entire war. I just got off the phone with a former CENTCOM operations officer. What he told me made my stomach drop: "When they deny the jet exists but the wreckage is on camera, the next move is always the worst one." This is not a war "winding down." This is a war that just produced hostages.

The Talmud is, after the Hebrew Bible, the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law (halakha) and Jewish theology.
