The extraction team in the back of the C-130 right before touch down:





🇮🇷🔥 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."



We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better. Read more in my essay "The Next Coup Attempt"


I mean, not really no, this was a pretty straightforward incident all things considered. This F-15 was conducting strike operations around Isfahan in preparation for the possibility of a ground team being sent in. They got shot down (like at least 2 MQ-9s before them, probably more honestly), because Iranian Air Defense crews are still quite active in the area. The two aircrew-men bailed out, landed and started their evasion process. On day 1, the pilot was scooped up by PJs on the two HH-60 that were dragged in via a C-130 tanker variant, but their HH-60s also drew fire (that wounded aircrew/SF) so CENTCOM essentially went “well… we’re not doing that again.” So they told the WSO to hunker down for a bit while they figured out something else to avoid doing an incredibly dumb Blackhawk Down remake. One of the damaged HH-60s was filmed in southwest Tehran, so OSINTers geolocated it there, but folk inexplicably presumed that the area where the helo was spotted was where the F-15 crashed. CIA didn’t bother looking that gift horse in the mouth, and started peddling propaganda to the effect that “yeah, the plane landed there, haha, everyone go look for it.” In the meanwhile, CENTCOM’s planners went back to the drawing board and came up with this new plan, but “someone” forgot to check the areas soil composition, so when the C-130s landed, one of them got stuck in the apparently soft dirt of this agri-landing strip (that’s why I included all of Russia’s and Ukraine’s agri-strips in the order of battle I did for them #selfplug). The rescue crew got their MH-60s out and fetched the WSO, while airpower dissuaded Basij from checking out the FARP. The C-130 crews realized that they couldn’t dig the wheel out of the dirt for one of them, and the other one was peppered by mortar fire, so they decided to ditch it and the 4 helicopters they brought in with them. So, they brought in one or more Delta demo teams (someone tag Mike Vining, he’s probably glistening with pride right now) aboard 3 lighter transport aircraft that wouldn’t get stuck, and they blew all of the stuck aircraft and then dipped out.
