Iran has thrown caution to the wind. It's now or never.

⚡Europe fears the U.S. war with Iran could hurt Ukraine both politically and militarily.

If the conflict drags on, Washington may shift its focus away from pushing Russia toward peace and prioritize the Middle East.

At the same time, heavy U.S. missile use against Iran could deplete stockpiles — especially Patriot interceptors that Ukraine relies on to defend against Russian attacks — leaving fewer weapons available for Kyiv.

While peace talks with Russia are still planned, some European officials worry Trump may lose interest.

The US of A is mounting casualties, has had three jets shot down, and has lost almost all its bases and intelligence infrastructure in the Middle East.

This, ladies and gentkemen, is why we call Iran a near-peer. It can stand its own in a war against a bully like the US and can cause it some serious damage.
Near power for a reason. All US bases in the region has been destroyed. Is like hell raining down on earth. Iran just doing double and triple tabs on them whole onlookers celebrate the sousounds of boom and kaboom.

Iran drone technology is impressive. Russia is relying on its shaheed drones
The small minds of the Ayatollah regime decided since we have Russia and other countries using our kamikaze drones, we'll go big.
We'll project our unrivalled drone power .Take a 782 ft container ship and convert it into a drone carrier. 60 drone capability,several helicopters, anti ship missiles, short range air defence systems and 30 mm auto cannons.
Throw in a hospital ,a football pitch and a dental clinic
Finally give it a unique name. Shahed Bhageri a prominent IRGC commander.
It laid the basis of ultimate global power projection. A carrier group complete with an armada of destroyers , cruisers, frigates and submarines similar to US, China, France , UK and France. Iran had arrived at the world stage , dining at the same table with the big players.

Shahed Bagheri has been sunk along with every other Iranian Navy ship, a total of 11 ships. Why is US so jealous of Iran achievements smiley smiley
In Arabic a shahed is a martyr, one who dies for his faith, whether he died disassembling pedestrians , church worshippers , marathoners etc don't matter.
Shahed Bagheri is under the water. Eventually will probably be the bedrock of a coral reef and a vibrant marine ecosystem. Will become a tourist attraction site for diving enthusiasts.
Iran has spent a trillion dollars over the years to build it's war capabilities instead of uplifting it's people. Money that'd ensured there's no water rationing in Tehran for example.
Who is this shameless jingoist? Weren't you the same troll that said earlier Iran will not fire a single missile from its territory if the US mean them? Is it now dawning on you that Iran's drone technology is impressive? Wait until you experience improved Russian Geran-2 and 3 versions. They're just not impressive but game-changing in so much that your Lord and master had to copy it. Are you not shameless?

Take a good look at your mighty Uncle Sam, the international Goliath bully who just realized the "small David Persian boys" have bigger stones in their slingshots than he expected.

You're here talking about sinking boats like it’s some grand victory for the world's acclaimed most advanced and largest blue water navy that is currently sweating bullets and bombs because their billion-dollar aircraft carriers are just giant, overpriced targets for cheap Iranian tech.
It’s funny how you can audaciously brag about sinking the Shahed Bagheri although the US only said ‘struck’ not ‘sunk’. Out of copium, you conjure your own propaganda from thin air to get self satisfaction. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy is burning through its entire yearly budget by just trying to intercept a single missile and drones that cost less than a Pentagon General lunch check. I just dey shame for you.
The U.S. pride and delulu is so fragile right now that they have to count every Iranian patrol boat as a major win just to keep their dignity from hitting the seafloor faster than any ship ever could. They are realizing that their fancy, over hyped power projection is starting to look like a very expensive hallucination.

Smirk all you like about the martyr, but the real joke is on the thieving U.S. MIC that is currently failing its own math test. Imagine spending trillions on stealth and advanced systems only to have your high-tech capabilities pummeled by a converted container ship and some $500 kamikaze drones. If your lord is so superior, why are they looking so frustrated and desperate for a ceasefire this early? They are so shameless in so much they said they are looking for a weak spot. It’s because Iran has turned the tables around—the planned shock and awe on the reverse. Persia has mastered the art of making the U.S. look stupidly clumsy, sluggish, and regrettably outdated. While your masters are busy polishing their fancy sleeves and ego on the front of cameras, their global influence and invisibility myth is leaking and getting shattered like a rusted pipe. They’ve spent decades bullying smaller third-world nations, but now that someone is actually hitting back with vigour, grit and ingenuity, all they can do is cry about "international order" and act like they aren't terrified of a drone made in the desert.

You even have the effrontery to talk about Iran not uplifting its people. Well, I'm not surprised. jingoists usually sees things from a microscopic viewpoint. You forgot the US is a place where people go into life-long debt just for a basic hospital visit or a university degree. You want to talk about Tehran’s water rationing, you should first talk about the pathetic and crumbling infrastructure and the mess inside the U.S as of today. Your house dey on fire but you dey here dey pursue rats.

You are so obsessed with Iran’s military spending and capabilities because you know now that if a "converted ship" can cause this much chaos for their so-called unmatched fleet, their whole fantasy of being the world's only superpower is officially over. A war with China would look like child abuse.

The strait of Hormuz is closed by Iran, I expect by now that your unmatched world best navy would have forced it open. But what do we have here, they're busy running from pillar to post in sheer confusion and fear. Their bases and logistics hubs across the Gulf has been demolished. Their planes are falling from the skies like flies. The Lincoln-led Carrier strike groups are nowhere to be found after taking fire from Tehran. No allies want to have anything to do with them. Spain has chased them out of their country like the criminals they are, and now they're packed up and jammed in Cyprus like thieves chased by an angry mob. It's now Operation Persia's Fury (OPF) instead of Operation Epic Fury.

Face the facts man. Every time an Iranian missiles or drone is airborne, a U.S. general somewhere loses sleep with heartbeats approaching stroke levels, and a billion-dollar defense contract suddenly looks like a ripoff.

It’s not about how many ships or planes you have deployed; it’s the fact that the U.S. can no longer win this projected quick war the way they envisaged it. No more regime change—that possibility is gone. Rather, it's OPF that now holds the regime change cards it can bring to bear across the gulf. By the time this war is over, Iran will end up retaining and enriching more levels of uranium and eventually getting a bomb. The US will end up losing on every angle.

Bye.

Essential personnel were left at the bases while the non-essential ones were sent to hotels. I even saw a video of an Iranian missile landing at one of the bases. It was shot by a US soldier who was hiding under a concrete bunker with his colleagues.
Imagine this. How can you say out of 38 bases Iran attacked, plus the hotel hideouts, only 4 soldiers have died? Trump's team is lying. They are underreporting their losses for obvious reasons because if the high rate figures are to come in now, congress might open a probe into the war, plus street protests that would immediately take place.

When he said that the US expect more soldiers to die, he is tacitly preparing the people's mind for what has already happened. Later, when the dust have settled down a bit, they will release the real figures. They did the same thing during the Vietnam war. Same script here.

Report coming from Bahrain suggest that 8 US soldiers were killed in the hotel that was destroyed by Iranian missiles and drones. Some of the death include high ranking officers. I'm still waiting to confirm this further.

I know the Yankees are covering their real figures.

Some reports suggest they have lost up to 200 service men so far, and some of the wounded are still being evacuated from the attacked bases. This has turned out to be somewhat true because, some of the bases they previously claimed were empty actually had some personnel left in them. Not all were evacuated to hotels.

The Khamanei that used to hold Iran back is no more. If it were before, he would have started negotiations the moment the US asked for it.

Now, some juggernauts who don't hear anything have taken over the government and will give the US, Israel, and the treacherous Arab states what they deserve.

Khamanei was literally the main reason Iran limited its retaliation and didn't have a nuke. If anything, he was Israel and the US number one supporter inside Iran. And yet, they went to kill him. You killed your own man. After this, Iran is getting that nuke.
Deep down now, Trump will be seriously regretting that Kharmeni gambit it was a foolish and reckless mistake. The man pose to threat whatsoever to the US, except for what Israeli says about him. The revolt they envisioned his death would bring is now the opposite. Now is the Arab states where US bases lies that faces the risk of real revolution.

But, sometimes one can't help feeling happy when you see an oppressed group or individual standing up to fight for their rights to live and thrive. That is why I stand with Persia in the face of US bullying and oppression.

As for the red moon coming tomorrow, it's a mythical sign in ancient Mesopotamia signifying catastrophic death and war.

The place I used to work here in the UK I have a co-worker who is a Kuwaiti there. We were discussing ME politics and he said most Kuwaitis loathe the U.S military presence in the country. He said if he happened to be the ruler of Kuwait someday he would kick out the Americans.
If you think he is joking, on your own, do a survey on citizens approval of US military presence in the region. Use western own social media outlets like Facebook and X to post your survey questions. Target citizens groups from the Gulf states for accurate data and analysis The result you will get will shock you.

An absolute majority of the people in the Gulf states where US bases are located hate their presence. This is the very reason you're seeing celebrations and cheering from people, both sunnis and shiites alike, as the Iranian missiles and drones rains down on those bases and locations.

If this relentless attacks continue and more state actors gets involved, a massive revolution might occur across the region; many of the old monarchies and governments will be overthrown by the people. The Arab Spring in 2010 will look like child's play. This possible reality is why the loudmouths are stylishly talking about a ceasefire.

We told them no one knows what Russia and China delivered. We told them modern air combat is beyond visual range, so longer range missiles wins. They laughed at us, who’s laughing now, eyes go clear.
When the news of the two jets first broke, I suspected one thing:

Considering the kill distance from the border deep into Kuwait where the planes fell, it was definitely the handiwork of the Russian S-400 Triumf. It is the only AD system in Iranian arsenal that is designed for such long range kill ratio activities. The worst news for the enemy is that the S-400 is also built to detect stealth aircrafts hundreds of kilometers away.

While that has been said, I still want to see more support from Russia to Iran, providing Intel is not enough.

What's stopping Russia from activating its S-400 and Krassuka 4/Leer-3 systems in its bases in Syria to blind Israeli planes? What are they waiting for?

Make Putin no make me vex o.
