An Iranian sailor who was killed when the warship Dena was struck by the US near Sri Lanka had called his father shortly beforehand, saying American forces had issued two warnings for the crew to abandon the vessel, a source close to the family told Iran International.

So, the captain of the Iranian ship is responsible for the deaths of all the crew that perished. Did he think the sub skipper was joking? ☠️

Interesting and highly readable.

The US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working.  Here is why

 

[...] the critics are measuring the wrong things.  They are cataloguing the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger.

When you look at what has actually happened to Iran's principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defences, its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure.  It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades.  [...]

This is the key fallacy that many on the left/Democrats and their MSM shills forget.

 

Much of the criticism of the US-Israeli campaign focuses on its costs while treating the status quo ante as if it were cost-free. It was not.

What we need are A-10s, loaded out with multiple APKWS launchers. They’re relatively cheap, but the USAF are in the process of retiring the ‘Hog, and I really hate the new OA-1K Skyraider II. Whoever approved its purchase needs to  be condemned to fly one for the rest of their career.

Pooky is right again:

Ugly, Cheap, and Deadly:  The A-10 Proves Itself Again Over the Red Sea

The A-10 Warthog never tried to impress anyone with looks.  Good thing, because it couldn't; the plane looks as though it was assembled in a scrapyard during a bar fight.

And when things get serious, it's still one of the first aircraft anybody wants covering them overhead.  Operation Epic Fury just drove the point home again, this time over the Red Sea.  [...]

Awfully weird that neither the Mossad nor CIA knows where he is.  Might he be dead, and the IRGC is running things in his name?

Where's Mojtaba?  Intelligence Agencies Stumped Over Whereabouts of 'Cardboard Ayatollah'

He's supposedly in charge of the Islamic Republic of Iran after the U.S.-Israel airstrikes of Operation Epic Fury/Operation Roaring Lion wiped out former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and virtually the entire command structure of Iran.

His name is Mojtaba Khamenei, he's the son of the recently vaporized Ayatollah, and he was named the new Supreme Leader by the country's "Assembly of Experts" in early March.  Reports indicate that he may be gay and that his father wasn't particularly impressed with his intellectual capacity.

 

The question remains, however: is he even alive, and if so, where the hell is he?  He has made no public appearances and his statements have only been read aloud by others, not delivered by he himself.  [...]
