BREAKING: Four U.S. aircraft reported either shot down or damaged over Iran today: 1 F15, 1 A10, 2x Blackhawks
This, after SecWar Hegseth & Chairman of Joint Chiefs Gen. Caine continue to tell America all of Iranian air defenses have been obliterated. Self-evidently that was untrue.
The Intercept has revealed in the last 24hrs that Pentagon officials have also been hiding actual U.S. military casualty numbers. Why is the White House and Pentagon so opaque with the American people on the truth of this war?
The justification for launching this war of choice was also an absolute lie - the alleged "imminent threat" of a nuclear Iran, even after the same Admin claimed their ability had been "obliterated" last year.
Further, they lied to us by claiming the Iranian regime was "as weak as it has been in 47 years" prior to the war, implying that all we needed was a hard push and they'd collapse. That obviously didn't happen either, and now here we are, with a rising casualty count, increasing numbers of combat losses - now into the many billions of dollars - and the allegedly weak Iranian government and military firmly in control of the Strait of Hormuz.
We have no military means to force it open, and we've forfeited the option of negotiations, because we twice lied to Iran about good-faith diplomacy, only to reveal that we used it as cover to launch military ops.
This is the bitter fruit of fraud and arrogance. I fear we've yet to find out how deep the cost will be before this war finally comes to an end.
