🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Ayotollah Khamenei rumored to receive daily beatings by Chuck Norris in After Life

@WeTheBrandon @RealSamFaddis @joekent16jan19 This whole thing wasn’t communicated properly, massive fumble across the board. I think most Natsec professionals could be sold on this but the comms from POTUS has been atrocious but I also wouldn’t say that the Israeli’s put us up to it or say that Iran isn’t a threat.

I've yet to meet a former national security professional--who actually was good at their job--who thinks the current strategy in Iran is anything but a major self-inflicted wound. @RealSamFaddis explains why neither he nor @joekent16jan19 are comfortable with the current war plan

It's very interesting right now supporting GEOINT Ops. DoW customers are leveraging commercial satellite imagery like I've never seen before. Our teams are working non-stop in and out of the SCIF to produce great intelligence for decision makers and its very fascinating to see how damn good our @Geo_Owl intel professionals REALLY are when it matters most. I mean they are NEXT FREAKING LEVEL awesome. Working overtime, supporting each other across shifts, while keeping up with their families and getting non-stop recognition from end users on how talented they are and how useful their analysis is. Think what you will about the Iran war, its a beautiful thing to witness true professionals on mission.

@TheStudyofWar There is a large population in Iran that supports the regime, large enough to sustain a government. The U.S. can't change the regime with whack-a-mole diplomacy. It's all up to the people of Iran to make it happen, it's going to take unbelievable courage!!!

The New York Times reported on March 16 that former IRGC Intelligence Organization head Hossein Taeb, de facto IRGC Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, former IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, and Parliament Speaker and former IRGC Brigadier General Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf were the main campaigners to get the Assembly of Experts to elect Mojtaba as supreme leader. All four of these IRGC commanders worked for decades under former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The first generation of Iranian revolutionaries and long-time IRGC leaders thus remain at the top of the Iranian regime‘s hierarchy despite decapitation strikes in recent years.

@sarahadams Knock knock @NEWSMAX @CNN @FoxNews @NBCNews this is the type of stuff you need to be sharing on your networks!

@rawsalerts Ahh yes, the age old war tactic of waiting until your WHOLE MILITARY is obliterated to begin fighting back, Sun Tzu is rolling in his grave

🚨#BREAKING: Iranian officials say it is now time to teach the United States a major lesson issuing a warning that America has ‘messed with the wrong people

@bennyjohnson I don't know why this is news to anyone, its not exactly a secret. Though there are a lot of people that like to pretend it's not happening.

SecState Rubio: “Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world… It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people… radical Islam has designs, openly, on the West, on the United States, on Europe.”

This Just In: Trump to name Cuban Sandwiches "America Sandwiches"

A massive governmental change in Cuba would be huge, an accomplishment of a lifetime for Marco Rubio and for Trump

@EterniaOutlaw @JohnKiriakou He made specific claims about hypersonic missile attacks

@ndsshow @JohnKiriakou False flag doesn't mean that the events aren't happening. It just means that the pretenses under which they are happening were falsified in order to initiate them. As in, saying that Iran is about to have a nuke and is a direct threat to the US when they are not.

What’s going on in Lebanon and Iran is an atrocity. This illegal war is causing untold human, economic, and ecological damage. The worse part? It’s being fought not for American interests but Israel’s.

For all you looney tune conspiracy theorists - Anduril has many contracts like this already and has been leading in developing sUAS and C-sUAS tech by doing something the rest of the industry doesnt - they pay for their own R&D and product development while the rest of the large primes won’t touch anything like this unless the government funds it ahead of time. Its a great story of American risk taking and @PalmerLuckey deserves a ton of credit for this pragmatic approach.

JUST IN: The US Army just awarded $20 billion to a company whose drones crashed in Ukraine. That is not a scandal. It is the point. Anduril Industries received the largest enterprise contract in modern Army procurement history on 13 March for Lattice, its AI-powered command-and-control platform that fuses thousands of sensor feeds into a single real-time battlespace map, tasks autonomous drone swarms, and enables one operator to control what previously required dozens. The contract covers software, hardware, data infrastructure, compute, and services consolidated into a unified counter-drone capability. The Army did not buy a weapon. It bought an operating system for war. The operating system was written in Ukrainian rubble. Anduril deployed hundreds of Altius loitering munitions and Ghost reconnaissance drones to Ukrainian forces starting in 2024. The early results were catastrophic. Russian electronic warfare, the most sophisticated jamming environment on Earth, tore them apart. GPS spoofing sent Ghost drones spiralling into the ground. Persistent jamming reduced general drone hit rates to 10 to 15%. Altius units crashed before reaching targets. Ukrainian operators, who were simultaneously building their own drones at a rate of one million per year with 96% indigenous production, were unimpressed. Anduril did something most defence contractors do not. It sent engineers to the front line, collected operator feedback in real time, and redesigned the aircraft in months rather than years. The result was Ghost-X: a fundamentally different machine. Where the original Ghost relied on GPS, Ghost-X flies on vision. Onboard computer vision algorithms, optical flow sensors, and terrain mapping through electro-optical and infrared gimbals give the aircraft autonomous navigation in environments where every satellite signal is jammed. It does not need GPS because it can see. It does not need a datalink because Lattice gives it mission autonomy. It does not need a dedicated operator because one person can task an entire swarm. Ghost-X proved, in Anduril’s words, “markedly more resilient” in both Ukrainian combat and US Government electronic warfare testing. The drone that crashed in a jammed Ukrainian field became the drone that flies through jammed airspace without flinching. The $20 billion contract is the Army’s bet that what survived Russian EW can defeat Iranian Shaheds. The Iran war is the contract’s first test at scale. IRGC one-way attack drones are down 95% according to Hegseth’s briefing, but they are not gone. The Mosaic Doctrine’s 31 autonomous commands can still launch from dispersed positions using the simplest guidance systems available. The coastline that produces fast boats also produces cheap drones that do not need to be sophisticated to overwhelm. Lattice’s counter-UAS architecture, AI-fused radar and electro-optical data identifying threats in seconds, autonomous interceptors engaging without human delay, single operators managing swarm responses across the battlespace, is designed for exactly this: volume. The contract also reveals what the Army learned from Ukraine that it will not say publicly. Indigenous Ukrainian interceptors achieved 70% success rates against Russian drones in February 2026, built cheaply, iterated rapidly, and deployed at scale by operators who learned electronic warfare the hard way. The Army watched a country with a fraction of America’s budget outperform imported systems by iterating faster. The $20 billion is not just a purchase. It is an admission that the future of air defence is software-defined, AI-driven, and built by companies that treat combat data as a product cycle rather than a procurement milestone. Anduril’s drones crashed in Ukraine. Then they learned to see. Now the Army is betting $20 billion that seeing is enough to win a war where everything that depends on a satellite signal dies.

“I would do a number on Kharg Island, I would go in and take it” - Donald Trump 1980

Well 2026 is starting out with a few bangs. Venezuela, Iran and now Cuba?

And you can already see the slippery slope of logic that leads to prolonged presence and boots on the ground. I know they keep saying “its not a regime change war” but what would be the point in all of this just for the same fundamentalist government to stay in power and hate us even more!?

The conflict has entered its third week as a full-spectrum, multi-theatre war with no defined exit architecture. What began as an air campaign against Iranian military, leadership, and nuclear infrastructure has cascaded into a regional war engaging Iran, Israel, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain), and US forward-deployed forces, while generating the largest supply disruption in the recorded history of the global oil market. The structural logic of Cold War 2.0 is now fully operational: the US-Israel axis prosecuting kinetic dominance; the DragonBear axis (Russia-China) providing shadow enablement without crossing the threshold of direct military intervention.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 This is America's answer to Iran's 'cheap' Shahed-136 drone that notoriously destroyed an American radar worth $300 million. Lucas's specs: - One-way attack drone - Cost: $35,000 each - Range: ~700–800 km - Engine: 215 cc carbureted combustion - Warhead: ~18 kg Source: @Defence_Index

@NEWSMAX The regime will shift more focus to terrorism and cyber attacks, we need to step up homeland security and stop pretending like this won’t come back to bite us in the ass. Its all they have, so its all they’ll do. If we wont change the regime - the regime wont change.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday the war with Iran could end "soon," because there is "practically nothing left to target" after a series of U.S. and Israeli strikes. newsmax.com/politics/donal…
