WSJ confirms that the US is using locations posted on X to hit Basij checkpoints as I posted a couple of hours ago.

IDF should set up a hot line for people in Tehran to call in these air strikes. I bet a ton of locals will happily tell them where the Basij are.

Iran's capital is burning, they are on their 3rd leader, air defense completely gone, lobbing missiles randomly at any one in range, haven't down a single US aircraft, haven't killed any US military since the 3rd day, checkpoint technicals getting exploded, managing to launch a single missile all night. All this to a country on the other side of the planet
Wow waht a grinding defeat for the US that its not even two weeks and they've only acchieved complete air supremacy. Why can't they be as great as russia and fail to take over their smaller neighbor after 4 years. SMH.

The DIYatollah is real, if you believe in your heart.

I mean the fact they did their gay song and dance with a portrait is just about as cringe.

I just find it funny that someone who apparently had no interest in contributing to the site whatsoever before one day ago would suddenly feel the overwhelming need to create an account just to politisperg in one thread and decry how it apparently betrays the spirit of the site.

It's just somebodies sock account. Guess which person is the topic of every one of their posts?

If you got all of your information from /pol/ and X, places filled to the brim with third worlders and muslims, you would believe the same things that this retard does about the war.

We can take care of Cuba literally the day before Trump leaves office if we want. They're a failed state with no power, resource management, or functional government. The longer we delay with them, the easier they'll be to conquer.

Cuba has survived that way for decades, they are experts at stalling until the USA forgets about them again, a new admin comes in or something else in the world happens to take attention away from them. I hope it doesn't happen again.
 
I’m by no means a military man, so I’d like to know if there’s a good reason for this. Why is the bombing focus now on the police checkpoints and other impediments to insurgency rather than eliminating the defenses of the Strait of Hormuz so our tankers can get through? I’d be happy to see a successful popular uprising in Iran, but freeing the Strait seems most important for America and its interests, especially on the home front. Why aren’t they doing that first?
 

Earlier today, IRGC, Basij bases struck in Ahvaz: Dozens of facilities belonging to the Basij, IRGC, police, and army have reportedly been destroyed by US Naval Aviation strikes

Do you know why we're winning in Iran? It's not just our military, we have the memetic power. Compare Hezbollah's boring and cringe video:


To a video on X not put out by the White House:



When the White House posts an Agarthan edit it'll be over for Iran.
 
Yesterday, the IDF's persian spokesperson exclusively published footage of a strike on an Iranian launcher under a bridge



During the "Roaring Lion" operation, the Israeli army faced attempts by the Iranian regime to fire towards Israeli territory; attempts that were made from civilian areas and infrastructure across Iran. These actions deliberately and directly put the people of Iran at risk; both when these launchers are used and when they are destroyed by the Israeli Air Force.

The air force attacks are carried out precisely against targets of the Iranian terrorist regime, and as seen in the attached documentation, the bridge remained standing after being hit by the launcher.

This pattern of operation shows that, like the terrorist branches of this regime in Gaza and Lebanon, the regime in Tehran and throughout Iran recklessly disregards the safety of its own citizens.
The cynical and instrumental use of civilian spaces for terrorist purposes and the conversion of national infrastructure into military targets is further evidence of the priorities of the Iranian terrorist regime, which prefers regional aggression over human lives.

I don't think this is an either/or situation where either we bomb checkpoints or we protect the strait. This is a large, complex operation where land, sea, and air are all priorities. Ultimately, you have to attack the soldiers on the ground to gain total control of Iran.

Bessent said today that the Navy, possibly with an international coalition, will escort vessels through the Strait ASAP. They've apparently been planning this for months.

That’s very fair and almost certainly the correct answer, but please consider this- I am a brainrotted zoomer who wants my gas to be cheaper NOW

Both are happening.

I'll try and see if I can find the footage of the Noor anti-ship missile truck getting whacked, but just because there's more basij targets and less of a cat-and-mouse contest with bombing checkpoints, we're seeing more footage of the later.

Offtopic, but what has Cuba actually done to the US? Besides sending you Rubios parents I mean.
 
Ghostse said:
Its not an either or. And, in theory at least, if the US nukes all the regime check points and just completely destroys their grip on the country then the protestors will take over and the strait is secured.

Oh my god, I finally posted something important enough to the discussion to be quoted by Ghostse! I feel so accomplished.

This may be the USN's new counter to Russian "smoking accidents" but it (allegedly) appears that the Gerald R Ford's recent fire was in the laundry room.

Some Seaman probably didnt properly clean a lint trap.

Imagine being the officer on duty for the fucking laundry room and getting cashiered for something that stupid. It was probably an Ensign too, being given babies first section command.

Career status: dead before launch.

They have bombed the bases and military installations they could find. Now they are sending expensive aircraft to drop bombs on foot sloggers because what else are they going to do? Bomb the piles of rubble again? Stop bombing?

Defending the Strait is really hard. It's tight, the shoreline offers lots of cover and tankers are slow, bulky targets that are vulnerable to pretty cheap and simple weapons. At the engagement ranges in the Strait, US warships are also vulnerable. Bombing some policemen is just easier.

It's also the next step in destabilizing the regime in preparation for the civic uprising they are hoping for. The regime can't beat the protesters down if all security forces are dead.

Besides being dirty communists? Its the one part of the North American Intracoastal waterway we dont directly control either outright or through a friend vassal like Canada. And considering around half of the entire GDP of the USA relies on the Intracoastal waterway in one form or another, that is actually a big deal.
