Sounds like a war crime to me. Where’s the UN?Kuwait power stations and desalination plant hit by Iranian drone strikes

Truman sent a personal letter to Hirohito before he dropped the bomb(s)He never mentioned nukes
Can you blame me? I mean you geniuses insisted there was a plan with clear objectives when this started a month ago and yet magically couldn’t communicate it (because the administration couldn’t communicate it either)

Invisible ink, bruh?More winning from Iran-
Air Defenses
- Pre-war: Layered system with Russian S-300/400 equivalents, indigenous systems, and dense radar coverage.
- Current state: ~80% destroyed or heavily degraded. U.S. officials report over 13,000 targets struck overall, with air defenses among the top priorities. This has given U.S./Israeli forces near air superiority over much of Iran for sustained operations.

Navy and Maritime Forces
Ballistic Missiles and Launchers
- Pre-war: IRGC Navy and regular navy with hundreds of fast-attack craft, missile boats, frigates, submarines, and mine-laying capabilities focused on asymmetric threats in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz.
- Current state: Catastrophic losses. Over 90% of the regular naval fleet sunk or destroyed (including all major surface combatants), with ~150 vessels at the bottom of the ocean. Shipyards and support infrastructure also hit hard. Iran retains some small craft, submarines (partially), and shore-based anti-ship missiles/mines, allowing limited harassment of shipping, but it can no longer project meaningful naval power.
- Pre-war: Large arsenal (estimates 2,500–6,000+ missiles) with underground facilities, mobile launchers (~470 estimated), and production capacity.
- Current state: Significantly degraded.
- Missile fire rate down ~90% from initial salvos.
- ~190+ launchers destroyed or disabled (Israel claims ~330 of ~470).
- Many underground sites and tunnel entrances struck (77% of analyzed entrances hit in one assessment), rendering launchers inaccessible or ineffective even if physically intact.
- Production facilities: ~90% of weapons factories attacked, with two-thirds or more of arms manufacturing capacity damaged. Stockpiles depleted from launches and strikes.
Drones and Other Capabilities
- Drones: Retained ~50% capability per some reports, but launch rates down sharply (73–95%). Easier to produce than missiles but still vulnerable.
- Air Force: Limited manned aircraft losses reported (dozens of older jets destroyed on ground), but grounded effectively by air defenses and fuel/logistics issues.
- Ground Forces/IRGC/Basij: Heavy leadership losses (dozens of senior commanders killed, including top IRGC, Basij, and defense officials). ~6,000+ military deaths and ~15,000 wounded per U.S./Israeli figures (Iranian sources lower). Morale issues, desertions, and recruitment problems reported; many units combat-ineffective due to fear of strikes and command disruption.
Negotiating with terrorists is futile
wrong threadInvisible ink, bruh?
Yes, this is 100% correct and something the lefties here cannot grasp.Negotiating with terrorists is futile
Thankfully it's notNone of this feels like a ceasefire
Well, we can, but we just don't want to pay the price. In due time, however, we will be forced to if Don keeps this war up.I’ll tell
You why, because Iran can keep that strait closed indefinitely and this current administration can do nothing about it. This is what happens when there’s no strategic thinking in place ahead of time.
