السلام عليك, سيدي وقائدي
السلام عليك, ناصر المستضعفين والمظلومين
السلام عليك, قائدًا منتصرًا، وإنسانًا متواضعًا
السلام عليك, سيد الحكمة والبصيرة والكرامة
السلام عليك, شهيدًا حسينيًا كربلائيًا على طريق القدس
السلام عليك, يوم وُلدت، ويوم استُشهدت، ويوم تُبعث حيًا

This image was sent to me from the field. These are messages US servicemen in the Persian Gulf have scribbled on the dust of an aircraft flap.
"Be a good guy and do what Israel tells you to"
"Operation Epstein Fury"
"Peace deal #64 incoming... ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND"
I have no frame of reference, I can't compare it to the sentiments of US soldiers in previous conflicts. But I suspect these are new sentiments, or at least a new willingness to express them this openly and directly.
But as one serviceman told me: "What people in the media don't understand when they compare past conflicts to this one, is this operation has no morale behind it. That makes a world of difference to service members deployed to undesirable locations indefinitely."
Read that last part again: No morale. Deployed to undesirable locations INDEFINITELY.
My own conclusion: When a war has no morale behind it, winning means that you simply end it. There is no other "winning" in such an unjust war.
@Pataramesh Any chance Iran might develop unmanned launchers? I’m thinking of something similar: systems that could be rapidly deployed from remote areas, making them much harder to locate and target in the first place.
@Pataramesh I think Iran might need a different approach: keep the high-rate production of KS and HQ, but add a new, "smaller & cheaper" missile, one capable of reaching a range of around 1200 km with a ~100–150 kg warhead, and compact enough to be quad-launched from a single launcher.
إن منطق الحسين بن علي (عليهما السلام) هو منطق الدفاع عن الحق والثبات في وجه الظلم، والعالم اليوم بأمس الحاجة إلى هذا المنطق. يشهد العالم اليوم سيادة الظلم، ورسالة الإمام الحسين هي رسالة إنقاذ العالم؛ إن مسيرة الأربعين العظيمة تنشر هذه الرسالة في أرجاء المعمورة.

الجنرال الطيار البطل الشهيد مجيد كاظمي الذي إستشهد بعملية قصف قاعدة العديد الأمريكية في قطر ببداية الحرب و بعد الرجوع من العملية إستهدفت مقاتلته و الطيار المرافق له و مقاتلة المرافقة لهما نوع Su24 من قبل الدفاع الجوي للعدو.
رجع جثمانه اليوم للبلاد.
إلى جنان الخلد يا شهيد...
IRGC Spox told Tasnim:
Since the last 15 days, Iran has struck:
• 11 US fighter jets & helicopters on the ground at regional bases.
• Destroyed 17 surveillance & combat drones, incl: One F-15 fighter inside a hangar, a P-8 aircraft, a C-17 transport plane & 8 refueling aircrafts.
🛰️ Recently captured satellite imagery from today (July 25) shows a direct impact point, likely from recent Iranian ballistic missile strikes, hitting what appears to be fuel bladders at Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan.
📍 31.804383, 36.773000
Iran published high-res satellite images of the complete destruction of a US ammunition depot at the King Faisal Air Base, after Iranian missiles struck the base, in Jordan.
Yemen bombed ARAMCO
Few hours ago, Yemen’s AnsarAllah struck the ARAMCO refinery in Jazan, Saudi Arabia in retaliation for their attacks against Al Hodeidah port.
Sirens were also additionally activated at Yanbu where the east-west pipeline goes through but there’s no visuals of any attack there at this moment.
The air defenses at Saudi Arabia could not protect the Yemeni missiles. Not even with the Patriot PAC-3 air defense battery deployed at Jazan by the Greeks.
The era of Sykes–Picot is long over.
The day is not far when you will lose Diego Garcia, like your other colonies.
The UK would be wise to reflect on the fragility of its own borders and to recognize that Iran’s capabilities extend far beyond military options.
صور الأقمار الصناعية تظهر تدمير برج الاتصالات، إضافة إلى وحدة سكنية مكوّنة من حاويات سكنية داخل قاعدة معسكر بوهرينغ التابعة للجيش الأميركي في الكويت بعد الضربات الصاروخية
Satellite images show the complete destruction of five U.S. Army housing units at Al-Salim Air Base in Kuwait following merciless Iranian ballistic missile strikes.
رئاسة هيئة اركان القوات المسلحة الإيرانية:
في حال تنفيذ التهديدات الأمريكية، الجمهورية الإسلامية لن تسمح بخروج قطرة نفط من المنطقة و سيتم إستهداف بنى التحتية للغاز و النفط و الكهرباء و الإقتصادية في المنطقة.
Our defense doctrine is clear: eye for an eye.
Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response.
Those who contribute to such aggression, whatever the kind of support, will also be considered as legitimate targets.
🇯🇴🇺🇸 King Faisal Air Base in Jordan appears to be clearing out its U.S. Air Force assets after today’s IRGC strike destroyed at least one aircraft hangar.
Today's sat imagery confirms multiple C-130 transport aircraft, fighter jets/helos have left the base.
