Someone is bullshitting here and it's probably not the US This looks like a direct hit (or as close to a direct hit as possible) with an AA missile. I am sure it'd have shredded F-35. Forget landing at a base hundreds of kms away, the pilot would be lucky to catapult.

BREAKING: Iran strikes Israel’s Haifa refinery.

❗️CONFIRMED: Iran has struck a F-35 fighter jet with air defenses, damaging the aircraft, forcing it to make an emergency landing at an American airbase in the region — CNN.

So the US made up this "2027 China will attack Taiwan" narrative, spread it for years, and now with them busy in West Asia, it suddenly won't happen? They claim that the Iran war somehow gave China pause. But is it really? The Iran war demonstrates that with a moderate amount of drones and missiles, Iran was able to shut off the strait of Hormuz. So what do you think China will do to waters around Taiwan, cutting it off from all forms of imports, from food to energy to weapon shipments to raw materials. How long do you think Taiwan will last in an attritional war like that? If anything, the Iran war validates China's long standing strategy of a strangulation, rather than an outright amphibious assault from the start. Takeout Taiwan's ports, LNG/oil storage. Takeout their leadership. As a responsible power, China have always sought out peaceful means of unification, but this has been complicated by the US constantly interfering in cross-strait relations.

In June 2025 on 4chan, an anonymous poster dropped what he called 'the script' — a full timeline predicting the next phase of global events. He warned of Israel breaking ceasefires and striking Iran, Trump responding aggressively with bunker busters, Iran hitting all Gulf oil fields and U.S. bases, oil prices skyrocketing, failed invasions, U.S. civil war, tactical nukes, then a staged fake alien invasion using synthetic soldiers released by MJ12. By 2027 — 5 billion dead and a one world government. The war's early phases are unfolding eerily close to the script: Israel struck Iran after fragile truces collapsed, Trump unleashed bunker-busters on hardened sites, Iran retaliated by hitting Gulf oil fields and U.S. bases, oil prices exploded, and the U.S. surged carriers into theater (two active now—Lincoln and Ford—with a third, Bush, on the verge of joining). Coincidence or did an anon really leak the playbook?

An absolutely insane start to a story.

Something something destroyed Navy. Looks like we missed a bit. By the way, according to the Navy there are three Littoral Combat Ships still operating in the Persian Gulf. We haven't seen or heard of them since the war started. And dealing with this is, uh, exactly their job.
