@AC360 they do this to you when you're even sympathetic to their actions... any other journalists they'd just murder and not detain

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settler violence is surging again as the Iran war takes much of the world's focus. After one attack, Israeli soldiers who echo settler ideology assaulted a CNN photojournalist and detained the rest of the CNN team. Jeremy Diamond reports.

@FT they just need to avoid laundry fires....😆

How long can Iran keep firing missiles? ft.trib.al/Ia79nq1

@AJEnglish Is this fool aware that "weeks" make up months.... so what will he say if it takes 30 weeks , just ignore the 7 months equivalent?!

BREAKING: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the US can acheive its goals in Iran “without any ground troops”, stating that the war on Iran is expected to conclude in “weeks, not months.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/3pdn8y

@MarioNawfal everyone knows US vessels' kryptonite is "laundry fire" ... 😉

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran claims it fired a Qader cruise missile at a U.S. carrier group. The U.S. hasn’t confirmed it. Here’s what matters. The Qader is built to hit ships. It launches from land, flies just meters above the sea, and locks onto moving targets in the final seconds. Range: 120–300 km. Warhead: 200 kg high explosive. Hard to detect. Hard to track late. But here’s the reality. The USS Abraham Lincoln isn’t alone. It’s surrounded by layers of radar, jets, and missile defenses. One missile isn’t enough. To actually break through, you need multiple launches at once to overwhelm defenses. So the threat is real. The missile is real. But a single strike won’t take down a U.S. carrier.

@MonitorX99800 so a "laundry fire " fires caused all this.... billions spent building it but somehow they forgot fire extinguishers ....🤔

🇺🇸⚡️– BREAKING: Pentagon reports that the aircraft carrier Ford is facing problems much deeper than just the incidents of fire and laundry room. There are concerns about the capabilities of the Ford aircraft carrier's systems, especially the aircraft launch system and radars. Source: Bloomberg.

@mtmalinen @CENTCOM what are the chances that a multi billion dollar vessel doesn't have fire extinguishers to put out a "laundry fire"?!!

Reportedly, the USS Gerald R. Ford will head to the U.S. for some serious repairs shortly. In other words, it appears that a laundry fire rendered the largest and most modern aircraft carrier in the world inoperable. Nicely played, @CENTCOM . 👌🤦

@AJENews this seems like an excuse not to send their soldiers into Iran just to let Americans do the fighting

BREAKING: Israeli chief of staff warns that military will 'collapse in on itself' due to shortage of soldiers 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/yxenis?update=…

@pati_marins64 Serious how does a country that seems happy and ready to start wars with anyone so under-equipped while being obscenely funded?!

The Erosion of American Military Capacity Why the US shows limited capacity in prolonged wars and in protecting its bases and allies, sending signals that should draw attention from Asian countries. Benjamin Netanyahu did not only err in assessing Iranian capabilities; he also overestimated the American capacity to sustain him in a high-intensity conflict. Despite spending nearly US$ 1 trillion on defense, the United States today possesses an industrial and logistical base that is significantly inferior to what it had decades ago. This fragility is the result of a long process of atrophy of the defense industrial base, which began after the end of the Cold War. In the 1990s, the Pentagon had 51 major prime contractors competing for significant contracts. Today, only five giants remain: Lockheed Martin, RTX (formerly Raytheon), General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing. This extreme consolidation, nicknamed “The Last Supper,” drastically reduced competition and the capacity for large-scale production, sharply driving up prices. It is the typical model of the Western defense industry that grows through mergers, acquisitions, and market contraction rather than through productive efficiency. The numbers by segment are alarming. In the military aircraft sector, the number of suppliers fell from 8 in 1990 to just 3. In tactical missiles, around 90% of current production depends on only three sources. In the case of ground combat vehicles, there were 3 manufacturers in 1990; by 2020, only one remained: General Dynamics. The specialized workforce has also shrunk: the defense sector has lost nearly 2 million skilled workers since 1985, falling from about 3 million to approximately 1.1 million. Ammunition production reveals the same loss of “mass.” During the Cold War, American factories could produce up to 438,000 artillery shells per month under full wartime conditions. Before the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, monthly production was only 14,400. Even after billions of dollars in investments, between 2024 and 2026 the capacity rose to something between 40,000 and 55,000 shells per month, still far from the target of 100,000. The naval decline is equally worrying. In 1991, the US maintained 8 public naval shipyards; today only 4 remain (Portsmouth, Norfolk, Puget Sound, and Pearl Harbor), dedicated almost exclusively to maintenance and repairs, and not to new construction. Private shipyards capable of building large ocean-going ships have decreased by more than 80% since the 1950s. Currently, the construction of large combat ships is concentrated in only seven main shipyards, controlled by a few companies. Read the full article: open.substack.com/pub/global21/p…

@AJENews ... the plan seems to be to sacrifice as many Americans as possible in the Iranian deserts !!

UPDATE: CENTCOM claims US on plan to achieve 'clear objectives' in war on Iran 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/ve6pos?update=…

@pati_marins64 Americans are incredibly propagandized about the abilities of their military thanks to the politicians , media and hollywood.

True.. So why does Iran still control its waters and its territory while continuing to fire missiles? Why has none of the war’s objectives been achieved? Why are you desperately begging other countries for help? Why are you asking for $200 billion to fight forces that have supposedly already been obliterated? In politics, you can manufacture truths. But in war, reality imposes itself.

@piersmorgan @talkSPORT Will you ask your Israel defenders about this x.com/trtworld/statu…

I’ll be on @talkSPORT in a few minutes to discuss yesterday’s Wembley debacle, and yes, I only agreed to do it because I assumed we’d win.

@pati_marins64 why do Americans just accept their kids to be sacrificed in a war that's clearly for Israel and oil?!

I’ve been paying close attention to these figures, but there’s another aspect to consider here. No commander believes they can occupy the islands or any coastal region for an extended period. The high troop count seems to me like a contingency for heavy casualties in this operation

@AJEnglish the citizens of Europe and America are in serious danger of a mass casualty false flag from their great ally at this rate

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte says the alliance “cannot confirm” Israel’s claim that missiles targeting Diego Garcia were Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/chlkxg

@AJENews The word "obliterated" must have different meaning to what Trump and his handler bibi think it means!!

@WaelChehab1 @firasmodad aren't you guys tired of terrorizing the world... look what you're doing to Cuba

@firasmodad You asked why they didn’t build independent military capability like Iran. That was the context of my answer

Equally important, let's say the Americans take Hormuz, take the terrain around it, take the islands around the strait, and take Kharg Island. What stops the Iranians from then destroying the Gulf's energy infrastructure, rendering Hormuz useless? What a dumb war.

@TheInsiderPaper ...laundry fire incoming....!!

JUST IN - U.S. deploying 3 more warships, roughly 2,500 more Marines to the Middle East, official says — AP

@araghchi Most Americans seem to be passive about their opposition to the war but that may change if American soldiers start dying in high numbers.

U.S. government says one thing, reality says another Right as U.S. authorities claim Iran’s air defences r gone, an F-35 gets hit. As they declare Iran’s navy finished, USS Gerald Ford turns back, and USS Abraham Lincoln drifts farther away Different decade, same “we’re winning”

Americans haven’t forgotten how, even as hundreds of U.S. soldiers were dying in Vietnam, and the outcome was already clear, General William Westmoreland was flown home to reassure everyone that the war was going well — that the U.S. was “winning.”

@s_m_marandi apparently Iran doesn't have any nuclear capacity anymore... but a month from now Iran will suddenly be 2 weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon🤔🤭

For 3 weeks, they’ve been saying Iran is running out of missiles and drones. Three weeks from now, the Epstein Coalition will still be saying the Islamic Republic is running out of missiles and drones.

@AJENews funny thing is that after the war Iran will be suddenly 2 weeks away from developing nuclear weapons.... there's enough evidence that if Iran really wanted nukes they'd have them already

Israeli PM Netanyahu claims Iran no longer has “the capacity to enrich uranium” or manufacture ballistic missiles nearly three weeks into the US-Israeli war, adding that Israel is doing its best to “propagate” cracks in Iran's leadership.

@pati_marins64 @sXahir If that video is real then that plane is destroyed not damaged... America wouldn't admit to losing such an asset in a war they've "won" multiple times

@sXahir Yes, they are. Stealth just means less chances of detection due to small RCS.

Iran Very Much Alive Hours ago, Iran struck the Haifa refinery, initiating what appears to be the first phase of retaliation against Israel energy sector. In another episode, Iranian air defenses hit an F-35 that managed to land in a Gulf area. As I reported days ago, Iran is gradually deploying air defense systems in a war that appears to be infinitely more planned and strategic than the coalition side. Early today, the press reported that Iranian oil at sea is set to be removed from sanctions, a gesture of apparent defeat for the US-Israel axis, which is being massacred not by Iran, but by the market. edition.cnn.com/world/live-new…
