-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I mean critical support for Iran of course but why are they so bad at this after all that has happened? After Soleimani, after they got Nasrallah, after the pager attacks, after years of zionist agents on motorbikes machine-gunning their scientists. You'd think op-sec would be higher priority.
They can't stop them from flying their old f-16s or whatever junk the IOF has into their airspace. They can't detect them in time to shelter important people. And worse than that they are so compromised despite knowing in advance for a near fact that attack is imminent via this very means that they can't hide their people properly from these attacks from the air meaning the zionists either have intelligence that knows where they are day to day (possibly hour to hour) and safe locations or that they continued going about their business in the most obvious places despite this threat and knowing they cannot stop it.
I know it's a bit armchair general but if you know you can't stop their air force, you know they're coming to attack you. You even have signals of warning like silly nerds on this site posting about increases in pizza orders at DC places the military planners and late night intelligence meeting ghouls like 6 hours ahead of time. You have the US evacuating personnel from bases and embassies in the region. You should at least shelter the people they're likely to target yes? The top leadership, the scientists? And keep that location a secret.
Honestly the zionists, I hate it, but the zionists have been doing incredible lately on a strategic level. They've taken out all their enemies save Iran and Yemen and depending on how bad this was and how many top leadership were killed they might have done a lot of damage to Iran. They are objectively in a stronger position than they have been since the modern resistance formed with Hezbollah as part of it.
And I predict Iran's retaliation will not be that spectacular. That the US will shoot down most of it with their advanced aegis cruisers parked off the coast (which is why tactically Iran should target those with their most advanced weapons as they're de-facto combatants but they won't).
One issue is that Russia has not been able to supply them with sufficient air defence for reasons that are kind of obvious.
Is Russia producing Sahed drones in Russia itself? Because if not, this seems like a part of an American-led strategy to deprive Russia of arms, while also weakening Iran.
