Maybe we shouldn’t have gloated about Iran having no air defenses left when Iran clearly still has air defenses?
Just a thought.
NEWS: A second U.S. Air Force combat aircraft has gone down in the Persian Gulf region, per NYT. Officials say an A-10 Warthog crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, with the pilot safely rescued. This comes as an F-15E was shot down over Iran—one crew member recovered, search ongoing for another.
The legal system for the W-I-N in Truth vs tRump. 🇺🇸
Now do Iran. 🇮🇷
One of two US pilots have been rescued after a fighter jet was downed in Iran. Proud of our Combat Search and Rescue team. No one left behind.
Amy Fucking McGrath was on CNN saying that the US pilot who got shot down in Iran today would likely find the Iranian people happy he was there.
EVERYONE IS HIGH ON THEIR OWN SUPPLY

U.S. loses F-15 and A-10 Warthog after Trump crows that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100 percent annihilated"

Literally the day after Marco Rubio scolded Iran for spending money to fight wars instead of on things Iranians need, Donald Trump told everyone we can’t spend money on things we need because we are fighting wars
Adjusting for GDP, USA’s war budget is ~3X Iran’s & Iran’s literacy rate is 10% higher
Polymarket is allowing users to place bets on the rescue of U.S. pilots shot down over Iran.
Disgusting.
This is terrible for Americans and also hurts national security. Increasing the military budget won’t defeat Iran. What is actually called for — under a sane government — would be a systematic defense review with an eye to less expensive systems that are suited to modern war. (1/4)
The president is asking for an extra $350 billion for his reckless war against Iran.
I will vote not fund this illegal war, and will vote no.
A wingtip and part of a vertical stabiliser from a plane from the US 494th Fighter Squadron based at RAF Lakenheath in the UK, according to Justin Bronk, senior research fellow for airpower and technology in the Military Sciences team at the Rusi think tank.
Keir Starmer has important questions to answer: the US jet downed in Iran was an F-15E Strike Eagle from the US 494th Fighter Squadron based at RAF Lakenheath in the UK.
This is an offensive weapon, unless you are deliberately disingenuous. Why isn’t the BBC leading on Starmer’s ‘defensive’ lie?
They are either war crimes or not.
Let’s just stop with this “maybe” BS!
Over 100 International Law Experts Warn: U.S. Strikes on Iran Violate UN Charter and May Be War Crimes

I remain staunchly anti-AI but it's wild to see how much better Iran's slopaganda is vs the US's. They're making specific references to specific people, and they understand US culture and what works here super well. It will be interesting to see how slopaganda affects public opinion going forward.
Donald Trump on Wednesday night: "They [Iran] have no anti-aircraft equipment."
Either Trump is misinformed, or he is lying to the American people. Either option puts the lives of our U.S. service members in greater risk.
Iran “Bridges can be rebuilt, but the opportunity to discipline America will not be repeated.”
Donald Trump has gotten the USA into a war where its power is going to be broken forever.
Like a Super Vietnam.
Qatar mediators have said that they will not engage in mediation efforts as long as Iran continues to attack GCC countries. Attacks on all GCC countries must cease before they would be willing to consider a role in mediation.-CNN
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Fars: The U.S. proposed a 48-hour ceasefire via a third country.
Iran rejected it indirectly by continuing heavy attacks instead of giving a written response.
Amazon is adding a 3.5% "fuel and logistics-related surcharge" to fees it collects from third-party sellers who use its fulfillment services, as the war in Iran drives up oil prices.
Ok, so why are we flying all these attack aircraft around at low altitude when long range radars would be such easy targets? Is there an EO/IR network we're trying to avoid? Most of what Iran seems to be operating are vehicle mounted SHORAD and MANPADS
Losses are piling up quick today. Apparently now the F-15, A-10 Warthog, and a rescue Blackhawk were all struck by Iran.
Covert action can be a prelude to war, but also an alternative to it. I once mused to a former CIA officer about how long CIA had been engaged in Iran counterproliferation operations. Well, there‘s a reason Iran still doesn’t have the bomb, he said. Diplomacy and CA are also complementary, he noted.
Trump's approval drops a massive 19% in 3 months in part because of his illegal war on Iran and the deaths of our enlisted military as Hegseth goes on a mad firing spree of our top generals and admirals. Trump is a desperate madman who will go to extreme, violent lengths to thwart the midterms.
Iran, if you’re listening, tell the Supreme Jerkoff you will only talk to Obama so we can all watch his damn head explode.
Iran has rejected a US proposal for a ceasefire, Fars News Agency reports.
✈️🇺🇸 NYT: A second U.S. combat aircraft, an A-10 Warthog, crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. The pilot was safely rescued.
At roughly the same time, an F-15E was shot down over Iran.
