Press TV – April 5, 2026
The commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps warned on Sunday that the United States and Israel should expect “new surprises” after several American aircraft were shot down over central Iran.
In a message posted on X, Brigadier General Esmail Qa’ani reminded the United States that its previous “rescue operations” inside Iran had ended in failure just as its most recent attempt to retrieve a downed pilot resulted in the loss of two American military jets and two helicopters.
He drew parallels between the operation earlier in the day and the 1980 Operation Eagle Claw, also known as the Tabas disaster, in which a US mission to free American spies in Iran collapsed in the desert.
Iranian forces destroyed two US C-130 transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters, which had come to rescue the pilot in southern Isfahan province early Sunday.
“Smoke rising from the south of Isfahan and the charred Israeli vessel in the Med echo the 1980 Tabas fiasco and the 2006 Sa’ar naval disaster,” Qa’ani wrote.
By mentioning the “charred Israeli vessel” in the Mediterranean, the general was referring to a statement by Hezbollah, which said it had targeted an Israeli warship about 68 nautical miles off Lebanon’s coast.
General Qa’ani further warned that the “Epstein elite” should expect further “surprises” across the region.
“More dead-end and Desert One disasters, this time across the entire region,” he said.
The US and Israel started a fresh round of aerial aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country.
Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in regional countries.

AMBULANCES
The news papers said an un named UK pop star had donated to gaza a fully operational ambulance
a wonderful gesture, 3 days in it was machine gunned then blown up.
The driver and 2 young volunteer nurses, one from Holland
the other from Turkey were all killed
I have done 2 short stints in Gaza, on one occasion 8 Turkish nurses were killed.
We were not allowed in so would gain access through the tunnels, we would carry medicines food and drinking water
as the jews had poisoned most of the wells.
Hamas hid the hostages in the tunnels, the jews knew but still bombed them, ambulances out there are used for target practice, so we should not shed any tears when jewish ambulances get hit.
Heard that IRAN sent out a lot of fake weapons…missiles that have zero ammo/decoy warheads but whose goal is to have Israel and USA waste ammo intercepting these fake decoy weapons.
Methinks Iran will continue this tactic to further weaken USA and Israel,….but will reach a point re: the “death blow” will be struck by IRAN to end the war with Trump and Bibi on their knees begging for mercy,……( nonwithstanding a justifiable mutiny within their given militaries.)
Why do you FAR LEFT NAZI’S always startb with the US and Israel led ”attacks” when it is trhe GENOCIDAL ISREALI’s and their Puppets US that are doing this land and money grab!!
Shed tears for exterminated piece of jew? We celebrate. With the enemy of humanity sandnigger mongrels anything is allowed. Can’t wait for shots through a pregnant jew belly to celebrate more. The pregnant sandnigger maggots are crawling all over.
I just love that term…. “The epstein Elite” I just hope it sticks and we use it on a daily basis.
For all of my sins I live in the UK, and all of our “top” politicians are epstein Elite, we should use the label constantly, let them know they are hunted.
