Israel & US versus Iran war discussion
The other discussion wasn't put in Fast Lane so most of the discussion is gray boxed. The sooner that gets fixed the better. Link to the other discussion: www.peoria.com/msg/o peration-epic-fury.p hp?p=1932443&threads _page=1&categor
 
Anyway, the US attacked some of Iran's larger ships on February 28 and March 2. Then a frigate, IRIS Dena, on March 4 by torpedo. The first torpedo kill by the US since WW2. Mostly the ships capable of launching missiles or drones were destroyed. One of Iran's 2 mid sized Fateh class submarines was attacked on the surface, out at least 21 submarines in their navy. Their 3 large Russian built submarines are not reported to have been hit.
 
US ships may be leaving the area due to the submarine threat. The Suez Canal may not be usable for some time. Remember in 2021 when the Ever Given got stuck in canal for 6 days? The Iranian ship the IRIS Bushehr has been taken over by Sri Lanka due to engine trouble. Perhaps they are making that up beacuse they are scared by what happened to IRIS Dena which was traveling along the same route.
 
Iran clearly doesn't have a missile shield like Israel does.
 
Here is some news that's not from the west's perspective. Good information, but I find it hard to navigate these sites which have infinite scrolling and no other way to get to a list of all the articles.
www.rt.com/
www.aljazeera.com/

I totally agree that Aljazeera website is a challenge to navigate with the scrolling. However, it is best viewed from their website and click on live tv. It is in English. They really have greet coverage that way. They have large studios in DC and Doha. They are the best situated to cover this story because of it. They have interviewed many Americans based in DC. The interviewers are far less dramatic too.
 
Euronews is very good too.
The Times of Israel is also very good. It covers the US side of the story too.

What about having brothers and sisters there, like the ones you see during weekly Sunday meetings on Zoom, and noticing how it has impacted families just like ours who live there? Having a worldwide family where people actually care for others.
You don't have to listen to others news and what others see you witness it lives daily just open your eyes.
News on a TELL -A- VISION, some will get that

We will soon be hearing about how Trump sold 10,000 bombs to Israel without congressional approval or even notification to Congress,
 
It is very, very possible a new Iranian supreme leader will be chosen within the next 24 hours.

I feel like I should research this some more, but regardless it sounds concerning.

Before the first bomb fell on Tehran, Trump's own intelligence community handed him a report.
The National Intelligence Council.
His people. His appointees.
The analysts whose entire job is to tell the president what is actually going to happen.
The report said: a large-scale US assault on Iran will not topple the Iranian government.
He bombed them anyway.
150 girls in a school in Minab.
Six soldiers in caskets at Dover.
$891 million a day.
The Strait of Hormuz shut.
Oil up 27% in a week.
Russia feeding Iran our troop positions.
No exit strategy.
No defined objective.
No congressional vote.
And his own intelligence community told him before any of it happened: this won't work.
This isn't incompetence. Incompetence is not reading the report.
This is something worse.
This is reading the report, understanding it, and bombing anyway.
Because the war was never about Iran getting a democracy.
It was never about nuclear weapons.
It was never about the Iranian people who have been fighting their own regime for decades and deserved a chance to finish the job themselves.
We know what it was about.
Three million Epstein files sit in a vault somewhere.
