A war with Iran was an obvious scenario for CENTCOM and Iran's ballistic missile and OWA UAS capabilities are well-known. The lack of underground command posts and hardened shelters—or even concrete barriers between tents, which were common at bases in Iraq and Afghanistan—at bases well within range of Iranian missiles and drones suggests a deeper problem about how the US military draws lessons. How many senior officers and DoD officials have traveled through these bases and didn't ask about this? Are our bases in INDOPACOM similarly vulnerable? Congress should ask our defense leaders some hard questions.
This is dangerous fake news. We already know these people target families and friends. There is no possible way that Iran can pinpoint the exact ship a missile came from. Please community note and report this “UK journalist”
The Pentagon is preparing ground operations in Iran. Raids on Kharg Island, boots near Hormuz, 3,500 soldiers on the USS Tripoli. Iran's parliament speaker: "Our men are waiting to set fire to them." This is no longer an air campaign....

Iranian strike at Prince Sultan: photos and reports show E-3G 81-0005 is gone.... clean hit on the rear radar dome. . USAF loses one of its 16 remaining Sentries (average age 40+, no new builds in decades)
This would be retaliation for attacks on Iranian universities by the US and Israel. Please try to report ALL the facts.
That Russian mechanized column on the southern front also noted, for the record, the complete absence of genuine innovation in those Ukrainian drones made by LEGO-playing housewives. It was not available for further comment for some reason. https://t.co/B4JRyIkl7Y

Visualizing the Strait of Hormuz shutdown using AIS tracking data. Wild to see the precipitous drop off in transits from 100's of vessels per day to a handful. The craziest part is zooming in to track a single Indian LPG tanker...
This guy doesn't think Iran is smart enough to prioritize targeting an AWACS. Very high value, low density asset and very easy to spot. Also a key asset that enables defense against their one-way attack munitions, in particular. It would...
Images Purportedly Show E-3 Sentry Totally Destroyed From Iranian Strike A loss of an E-3 would be a major blow for the dwindling fleet of increasingly rickety airframes and would point to other capability and defensive gaps. Story: https://t.co/uVVYStW612
Hopefully there will FINALLY be a real wake up call here on hardened infrastructure for air bases. They (DoW leadership) have and are living in a fantasy land with this. It's maddening. It's easier to kill your most potent combat...
"China is not using the oldest model. They're using the newest Qwen. They're using the newest Kimi. They're using the newest DeepSeek in their military applications." - AND WHAT DATA DID THEY USE TO TRAIN THESE MODELS?

When Israel's targets shift from military to industrial, returns are fading, writes @citrinowicz "The campaign is approaching exhaustion." #IranWar #Geopolitics #Strategy
In fairness this means the Houthis are also considering not closing the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, guys. https://t.co/ZiiVU0cw8C
Pentagon has developed contingency options for escalation in Iran War "Nothing has been ordered" This means the line between “option” & “action” is getting thinner. https://t.co/9et5WkGbG4 #IranWar #Geopolitics #Energy #USMilitary
If a few thousand low-cost Iranian drones can effectively deter the US in the Strait of Hormuz, what does this chart below tell you? https://t.co/pC6HUG1X26
What could possibly be the U.S. options in Iran? Most people jump from today to a full-scale ground invasion to seize Tehran, secure nuclear material by force, and destroy a supposed million-man army. That is shallow thinking. 🧵 President Trump has...
SCOOP: The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President...
These are hard words, and will create resentment. Fact of the matter is that they are true. China and US are equals and in a few years China could be stronger than US in many ways. Therefore Dunroe doctrine is...
FEDWATCH: “.. the Houthis have entered the conflict by launching ballistic missile attacks ..; their next move could be targeting vessels in the Strait of Bab el Mandeb into the Red Sea .. The oil market, rightfully, is sensing that...

My latest with @davidlin_TV on the US-Israeli war on Iran: "Iran has a lot of leverage over the West, and they have Trump completely in a corner because the Western economies are suffering TREMENDOUS DAMAGE." https://t.co/vQRsFOy0XI
“war against Russia seemed easy... The worst of the fighting would be over in six weeks, he predicted” https://t.co/dfqG6TKCht
guy in the future: “So, how serious is this, on a scale of just noise to that time the Strait of Hormuz got closed?”
America fomented the Ukraine war, via Victoria Nuland and John McCain. An inconvenient fact https://t.co/M9zqqH7Lyd
Passive defenses — bunkers, hardened shelters, dispersal — aren't glamorous. The Pentagon has underfunded them for decades. Now, with U.S. troops under fire in the Middle East, DoD is scrambling to find vendors who can ship prefabricated shelters within 30...
Who is WE @tangobastogne ? The opportunity to secure Hormuz passed in late February Now it’s risk that keeps it closed, not geography How can WE eliminate the risk of drones, mines & fast boats? WE cannot

Ceasefire hopes faded. Trump extended the Iran deadline 10 days. Brent crude didn't flinch at $112. $VIX held above 30. The market priced in peace and got more war. That repricing has further to go. https://t.co/e3sUJyyL7v
The point is that those claiming the IRGC is fighting for the country and it’s Poe people and not themselves have no idea what they are talking about
I’ll bite. Finish the job for the U.S. IMO, destroy Iran’s current ballistic missile stockpile, destroy their ballistic missile building capability (industrial complex), destroy their navy and other means that allow them to threaten the strait of Hormuz, i.e. destroy...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that the US would have this war finished up soon: “As the Department of War has consistently outlined, we are ahead of schedule. We expect it concluded… in a matter of weeks.” THAT'S BECAUSE THERE IS...
The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit has begun arriving in Centcom, officials say here. That's pretty much right on schedule with what had been anticipated.
Debatable, but strongly supported across El Salvador (over 90% approval in polls), evidence of what a single leader can do with an anti-gang, security prioritized agenda.
This world war is progressing backwards: first the fighting, then the alliances that connect the different theatres.
The Houthis of Yemen have entered the war, claiming the launch of a ballistic missile against Israel. The more important aspect of their involvement is whether they try to disrupt traffic in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, effectively jeopardising Saudi efforts...
Imagine being confused as to why a military doesn't publicly disclose their war plans to you...
Wild Would be amazing if Mossad infiltrated Iran’s supply chain of missiles and every time Iran launch they just do a loop and attack Iran Like this

For those who think the U.S. does not have a plan with regards to Iran, pls answer this one question: If the U.S. has no plan, then why did Iran spend the last 40 years preparing to counter the U.S.'s plan...?
How much you wanna bet they’ll be US troops on the ground in Yemen next… FOR ISRAEL “Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis launch missile at Israel for first time since war began”
