⚡Newly obtained Defense Department records show US forces suffered at least 400 casualties and 17 life-threatening injuries during the first phase of the Iran War.

The Army took the brunt of it, with more than 270 casualties — including 64 officers, two generals, and about a third from the reserves.

Head trauma emerged as by far the most common injury, affecting at least 170 troops.

On 1 March, an Iranian drone strike on an operations center at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait killed six US service members in the war's deadliest attack.

The two wounded generals — Brig. Gen. Clint Barnes and Maj. Gen. Brad Hinson — have since been criticized for ignoring intelligence warnings.

Two large casualty days — 29 on 3 March and 70 on 18 March — were never publicly disclosed by CENTCOM, which continues to release only monthly totals.

After Trump ended the truce on 8 July, more than 200 additional casualties and four more deaths have already been recorded.

Namaster:
FUNNIEST thing about this World Cup HEIST is that the GREEDY FORKS who want to colonise FIFA don't even care about Football.

But they've seen how BIG and PROFITABLE the world cup is compared to the NONSENSE they call football.

So they want a piece of that PIE.
And CORRUPT Infantino is happy to OBLIGE.

They will POLLUTE everything about the World Cup.
And NOTHING will happen.

They LET the PDFile on stage with Chelsea during the Club World cup.
Then they did it again with Spain in the World cup.

Because NOTHING happened the first time.
The fans and players have DEMONSTRATED that they'll accept ANYTHING.

NOTHING stops the fans from BOYCOTTING the game entirely.
Or the players from REFUSING to share the stage and shake hands with a PDFile RAYPIST.

Some people will argue it's AGAINST the spirit of the game.
But FIFA TAINTED that spirit by deciding to make a PDFile the center of the show.

As for the European CU...CCCKS currently fuming, they'll CAPITULATE soon enough.
They will NOT magically grow a spine they NEVER had because of football.

Since FIFA began to listen to opinions from politicians, I've been one of the persons actively cheering for it to crumble.

Trump just happens to be the tool the universe has decided to deploy in hastening that reality.

That orgasmic joy in my chest is the reason I broke the news on this thread, to begin with😂😭.

⚡IDF:

During the night (Wednesday), Hezbollah launched an explosive drone at an IDF engineering vehicle operating in the Ali Tahar Ridge area.

This constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon by Hezbollah.

But weren't they the one that attacked first, or do they think the world is not seeing their attacks. Or perhaps they think they exclusive right to bomb

⚡ A senior Israeli diplomatic source on Netanyahu's meeting with President Trump:

"We know for certain Mujtaba is alive, but since Operation Rising Lion no one has seen him."

"Iran now has only 1,500–1,600 missiles left after we destroyed much of its production capability."

"We currently do not assess that uranium enrichment is taking place at Pickaxe Mountain, and we have good intelligence on Iran's nuclear material."

"Eliminating 29 nuclear scientists was our insistence. It removed a critical mass of knowledge from Iran's nuclear program."

"If Iran tries to rebuild its nuclear program, we will strike the 'metastases' as well."

"We told President Trump we have serious doubts about reaching a nuclear deal with Iran."

iraq has a lot of actors in the resistance axis

it's not like lebanon where hez is the main actor
then they have amal that has decided to only act in the domestic arena

or like yemen where ansar allah is the main actor

in iraq, the pmf is the umbrella group for resistance actors that are officially part of the government
but there are actors outside the pmf
and these actors tend to be more hardline than the pmf because the pmf acts by consensus

so while it is true that the pmf did not attack the saudis
by international law, the pmf attacking saudi oil facilities is the state of iraq attacking saudi arabia

the non-pmf groups that are not part of the government have been conducting probing attacks almost exclusively using drones on jordan, saudi, uae, kuwait, even syria
these are done to deplete interceptors and probe defenses to gain insights that'll be fed back to khatam al-anbiya (the supreme hq of all axis of resistance operations)

now, on a base level, the us wants to disband the pmf in iraq
that has been a long-term goal of theirs
but they have a tenuous detente with the pmf
so they had to use the doofuses in saudi as a screen to target the pmf
so instead of it being the us targeting pmf which they've always wanted to do
it is now a saudi-us strike because the us wants saudi arabia to be alongside them taking the inevitable hits instead of them taking it alone

i don't think the saudis fully understand the pandora's box they just opened

the us will only lose equipment and when they lose personnel they will sue for peace as they've always done versus the pmf
but the saudis will lose oil infrastructure because the us went too far
targeting arbaeen pilgrims is a red line
