Sounds like explosions were before the attack on Kuwait

Reads like the Kuwait and now Bahrain attacks were in response to disabling the tanker headed toward karg.

I'm fine with 3, though it likely has political ramifications for mid terms if it continues for too long. I don't like Trump continually announcing we are close and then nothing happens. No one believes him at this point


I think the most pertinent question is whether he himself believes it.


clearly Trump doesn't believe what he has been saying

considering he has given the Iranians 17 deadlines without acting

Markets dropped but have now mostly recovered. These were Irans equivalent love taps. Don't think war is back on.

you left out that the Kurds wanted to attack

and our best Islamist Dictator Recep Ergogan told the USA never to allow that.

so we didn't.


Because I haven't seen that reported anywhere. Trump has a public statement sharing his disappointment in the Kurds over this. It would not surprise me if Erdogan whined about it though.

US 5th Fleet HQ was target

but that's okay because we have been having negotiations with Iran every day, yesterday, the day before, the day before that. and tomorrow.

so that's the good news.

Who runs that X post and where do they get their info?

Below is what the IRNA website looks like and it doesn't show the BLM logo in Ukraine colors.

The F-15's shot down in Kuwait weren't at fault. They were in supposedly safe airspace and were attacked by an allied fighter.

So the first thing dad told me was he didn't have enough information to judge the guy, but the above statement about friendly fire holds true. He said that really wasn't the guy's fault. They weren't exactly on guard for it, which is why all three of them went down.

The incident in Iran was a pretty high risk mission in that the Eagles were flying very low level operations. He said he hadn't yet heard what the reason for that was, but flying at that altitude can be very dangerous if the opposition has shoulder fired heat seeking missiles.

But he did say this guy is either the unluckiest dude on the planet, or the luckiest.

He's been shot down twice in combat within a month, but on the other hand, he survived both of them intact.

Either way, I wouldn't want to go to Vegas with him.

Until the Persians bend the knee and accept whatever we offer, time to go hotter than before. There's no hay to be met until the taken care of leadership that's still alive starts starving and fearing for their life daily. Anything less than a regime change given the last 8 weeks is not acceptable. For every missile they send up, we strike 100 fold

I'm very close with said individual. Sometimes s*** happens in major combat ops and guys/gals are unlucky. The details of why/how it happened in Iran won't be public for a long time, and probably never understood by anyone that hasn't flown fighter aviation.

I'm glad your buddy is ok after being shot down and having to punch out twice. Thank him for his service.

Iran should put down the shovel, but they won't. The silver lining to them bombing their neighbors is they have become very isolated. With friends like Iran, who needs enemies.

My thoughts are also with those thousands of civilian sailors and captains stranded motionless and baking in the sun on their own ship for months on end. I'd lose my be mind probably. How long does one survive in those conditions? I haven't seen anything reported on this pretty significant disaster

It's great that Trump and Rubio have called the war off because Iran wants a deal so badly.

meanwhile, this is Iran wanting a deal so badly:

Allowing Iran to rearm with multi-thousand's of ballistic missiles is abolutely the 2nd most dangerous threat behind nuclear. Even if the gulf states bypass the strait with pipelines, their infrastructure is at extreme risk if Iran doubles-down on missile production.
