Apparently Israel is taking a beating. Israel has put a full media blackout on the country, but videos smuggled out are showing numerous successful hits.
Iran retaliated against Israeli's oil port at Haifa following Israel's attack that spread oil over Tehran.
Iran has supersonic missiles that interceptors can't hit.
General Caine said Iran is evolving quickly and are targeting radar and interceptor network. That would be degrading our defensive capabilities
Apparently, Iran or their Iraqi proxies shot down an American refueling plane. CENTCOM issued an obvious lie about it.
I personally, have strong suspicions about casualty reporting from our administration. If you recall, during the Iraq war, the pentagon put out daily death and wounding numbers. We are getting nothing of the sort except one report of 150 wounded soldiers. Given the rate of operations that is absurd.
Iran has successfully shut down Iraq and Oman's ports. that is really bad news as these things don't just restart quickly.
The one obvious winner in all of this is Putin's Russia with higher oil prices, lifting of sanctions and putting him in the driver seat as to providing oil to Europe.
Oh, and btw, Lebanon hasn't been getting near enough attention, 750,000 people displace hundreds dead, Israeli invasion. That alone will have world wide ramifications due to migrants fleeing the warzone.
My personal opinion is Iran is winning decisively.
Don't listen to the media or our government or most pundits who are afraid to reach that obvious conclusion for a variety of reasons.
What about the 30% who DIDN'T vote for Hamas?
Those are probably the ones still alive.
So whats your point?
