Everyone watching Iran's state-run TV news program probably noticed they picked up an Anduril Dive-LD, our mass-produced attritable submarine.

This particular vehicle has been swimming in CENTCOM for months, successfully operating in support of American forces for thousands of hours. It was explicitly designed to operate in environments too dangerous for humans where capture is an expected possibility. I can't get into the details, but it provided significant value for months before capture.

Rest in peace, little buddy.

This video of 9-11 in 2001 is trending in 2026 because many are saying it's the first time they've seen the video. It shows the plane hitting the second tower.

@McCainJack That’s it. I quit.

Indeed—the real takeaway from recent reports of shortages is not that we are now in a tight spot with China. It’s that we weren’t prepared for a face-off in the Western Pacific even *before* the war with Iran.

@Firedog7051 @ABC @SecWar The manuever is called a Sneak Pass and they’ve been doing it this way for decades. Has nothing to do with who is in the Pentagon. Learn how stuff works.

I asked a senior defense official why the US has had to go back and restrike these sites that have been hit multiple times since February 28 when the war began. I was told Iran has reconstituted its air defense and missile systems along the Strait of Hormuz since the US bombing campaign ended on April 7.
That, the source said, is why the US military is now having to restrike areas like Qeshm Island and Sirik which they had struck in the past.

“In the time since the cease fire on 7 April, Iran has reconstituted — thus the targets around the Strait of Hormuz,” a senior US defense official tells me. “There is a LOT that is damaged… a LOT… but they moved things around.”

It’s been 10 weeks since the April ceasefire was announced.

In fact this chart massively understates the difference, because it includes U.S. gun deaths from SUICIDE, which greatly outnumber U.S. gun deaths from HOMICIDE.

European refusal of AC is much deadlier than America's embrace of guns.

Underreported.

@persianjewess American soldiers & StateDept types say “inshallah” all the time. It’s a residual cultural tick from GWOT that is also working its way into the genpop - used with lite sarcasm. Not a religious statement.
