In addition to air and missile strikes, Trump plans to put pressure on Iranian forces on the ground. Rather than put U.S. boots on the ground however, he’s fomenting insurrection among the Kurds who will act as proxies.
Although Trump had been hoping to use Kurdish separatists to put pressure on Tehran, the plan hasn’t got off to a good start. That means the war may have to spread
The damage to the Thaad radar systems at the bases represents a significant degradation in the U.S. military’s ability to detect and intercept incoming Iranian missiles
The U.S. military has turned media management into a fine art; minimising its losses and while playing down its opponents gains. This week the USAF lost four F-15’s. The first three were lost in quick succession due to “friendly fire”, or so the USAF claimed. As yet the U.S. authorities have yet to acknowledge losing a fourth F-15E
Interviewing former CIA analyst Larry Johnson and Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, Danny Haiphong reveals the heavy censorship by the MSM on the losses suffered by Israel and the U.S. What they say contrasts shockingly with what we are told by the Western media
The war in Iran is not a new war, it’s a new theatre of an old war. And theatre is probably a very apt word. Kit Knightly explains
Danny Haiphong talks to Pepe Escobar and Mohammad Mirandi. Prof. Mirandi is particularly interesting as he describes the mood in an angry and defiant Tehran. Where even Iranians who might have joined recent anti-government protests are now waking up to the West’s real agenda
Iran’s destruction of two THAAD systems and advanced long-range radars will result in a serious erosion of America’s ability to defend its allies and assets across large parts of the Gulf and West Asia
Of all of Trump’s blunderings in his second term, this one will be remembered for generations to come
Actually, it’s not he first time a torpedo has sunk a warship since WWII. In 1982, the British submarine HMS Conqueror sunk the Argentine cruiser ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands War
From the outset we sensed the Trump administration was downplaying the extent of U.S. casualties. It had to. There would be a national outcry if Americans realized that they had lost 500 service personnel in the first few days of the war, as Iran’s security chief claims
The Wall Street Journal claims that Iranian drones and missiles have challenged the US military’s ability to defend its allies and assets. Includes dramatic footage of Iranian missile salvos striking Tel Aviv
