Wow. Anderson Cooper just interviewed a guest who said the U.S. now has air supremacy over Iran...

[PeaceWave]

That means the U.S. can literally bomb Iran at will. Things are about to get very, very bad for Iran. Someone in that regime needs to bring some new ideas to the negotiating table or there is no telling what Trump will do.

1. Gaza?

How could you possibly doubt?

4. Holy War

There were millions of FUCKING MORONS who thought this "was a good idea". I've severed decade long friendships over this. I can't put up with it. I have a cousin behind enemy lines who dare not "step out of line", she DID Like a post of mine on Facebook that was critical of the regime. Our entire family down there are fascists, she's married to one, her son is one, her sister (my other cousin) is one, but she seems to be trying to cling on to sanity. I won't delete her.

6. gotta love the war pimps who never served

I told a young guy earlier today this is not one of your fucking WAR GAMES.

5. US also had air supremacy over Iraq

How did that work out?

In a few more days, once the interceptor stocks run low, look for a lot of Gulf petroleum infrastructure to go up in smoke.

It has always been a hostage situation, over the years, with Gulf oil infrastructure being the hostage. If Iran concludes that this is it, the hostage will be taken out.

7. I think Iran is cooked. Qatar intercept rate is 96%. Similar for other nations.

Iran has lost 3/4 of their launchers. They have fired and lost a large portion of their ballistic inventory. The US is tactically destroying launchers so that inventory is irrelevant. The rate of fire yesterday was down 86%.

The US has a good inventory of interceptors for larger missiles, but it becomes irrelevant now for drones. The US has and is deploying our own low cost and more effective systems for that like the C-Ram( large caliber Gatling gun computer controlled) and small scale interceptor weapons like the coyote for drones.

Iran is not likely waiting for anything. They are losing their ability to fight back. Iran has no defense at this point. They will continue to lose their arsenal to attacks. Lose their infrastructure to attacks. The surrounding countries are adjusting and adding to their defense.

It’s not likely to get any better for Iran than how it performed the day before.

8. Iran has a large contingent of armed manpower...and drones

90% of oil tankers are not going through the Strait of Hormuz. Fertilizer is going to be majorly impacted as well

Their position isn't as weak as you might think

[Melon]

9. We'll see what happens in the next days.

I just got off a call and was told Chinese chemical plants are turning down rates on planned oil constraints. There will absolutely be impacts.
Iran is only a threat to the Straits verbally at this point. If they can’t do anything to threaten shipping beyond threats in the next days, ships will travel again under protection of the US Navy.

11. Not just verbal

10. In the immortal words of Petey Kegsbreath.....

They’re toast. He has such a way with words. So professional and dignified. 🥴🤬🙄

[fujiyamasan]

12. What is Iran's Air Force made of anyways?

It’s a weird mix of really old American aircraft like F-14 tomcats, old mirage jets, and some newer Russian made Migs. We have seen how great that has performed in Ukraine.

I’m not too surprised here. The earlier attacks over the last year or two by Israel and the US were precisely aimed at testing their air defenses.

The real issue is asymmetric warfare and the use of cheap Shahed drones. I’m amazed at the posters crowing about the interceptor rates. Sure they work well, but they aren’t infinite in supply and they cost some 10x more than the actual drones.

We’ll be paying for this fucking thing for a long time.

Of anyone supports this, they need to suit up or send their kids over there. And they should be made to pay for this as well.
