🇮🇷🚀 Reports of Iranian ballistic missile activity targeting #DiegoGarcia in the #IndianOcean indicate that the Islamic regime may have advanced its capabilities in liquid-fuel or hybrid propulsion systems, with technical support from Russia and China.
#IndoPacific
Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean.
One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.
🇺🇸🇰🇼 At least two US aircraft that reportedly crashed over Kuwaiti airspace in what’s being described as “friendly fire” need to be closely monitored whether it was truly friendly fire, a mechanical failure, or if there any indication of electronic/cyber warfare involvement.
At least two USAF F-15E Strike Eagles were shot down in what’s being called a friendly fire incident over Kuwait this morning.
All crew involved successfully ejected and were picked up by locals on the ground; the Kuwaiti MOD says that all were recovered safely.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 Iran’s #IRISDena was reportedly sunk by a US submarine off the coast of #SriLanka in the #IndianOcean — a clear-cut incident that will put China on high alert for potential engagement with US power projection in any scenario involving #Taiwan.

BREAKING:
A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian military corvette off the coast of Sri Lanka, US secretary of War Hegseth confirms.
"Yesterday in the Indian Ocean, an American submarine sank an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo."
Sri Lankan authorities reported that 32 people have been rescued so far and several bodies have been recovered from the water, Reuters reports.
It clearly demonstrates the far reaching capabilities of US military power across the globe, conducting simultaneous operations with allies and partners in the Mideast and Latin.

Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched operations today against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador.
In a statement, they underlined the importance of combating the scourge of narco-terrorism
The friendly fire incident involving the downing of three US F-15s has been further investigated — it wasn’t caused by Kuwait’s air defense systems, but by a Kuwaiti F/A-18.

A Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet was the cause of the accidental shootdown of 3 F-15E Strike Eagles in a “friendly fire” incident over the country on Sunday, not a Kuwaiti “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile Battery like had initially been believed, three people familiar with initial reports of the incident told the Wall Street Journal.
One F/A-18 launched three missiles against the F-15s, according to a U.S. official, with all three aircraft being hit and going down, but their pilots ejecting safely. The incident occurred soon after multiple Iranian drones had penetrated Kuwaiti air defenses, one striking a commercial port and killing six American servicemembers, with Kuwaiti officials on edge when their radars detected the jets flying in and fired on them.
According to preliminary statements from the US military, the three aircraft that went down over Kuwaiti airspace were shot down in a friendly fire incident involving Kuwait’s US-made air defense systems.
It’s wild that in just four days during #OperationEpicFury, 17 naval vessels from the Islamic regime, including a submarine, were wiped out.

"We are sinking the entire Iranian navy."
Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of CENTCOM, released an update on Operation Epic Fury so far.
He said the U.S. has already destroyed 17 Iranian naval vessels, including one submarine.
“You are the shield of the Free World, and today, you are its sharpest sword.”
— Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of US Central Command, to US forces participating in #OperationEpicFury.
Letter reportedly sent by Adm. Brad Cooper, the Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), to American servicemembers across the Middle East on February 28, 2026, prior to the start of strikes against Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury:
To America's extraordinary sons and daughters deployed around the Middle East,
By order of the President of the United States, we are embarking on a mission of profound consequence. The time for preparation is over. The time for action has arrived.
As we move from deterrence into active combat, I write to tell you how honored I am to serve with you - the most exceptional Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Guardians and Coast Guardsmen on this earth.
Some of you are stationed in the Middle East. Many of you have deployed overseas on short notice. Others have been extended on deployment for this critical mission.
You represent the strongest, most lethal warfighting force the world has ever known.
You all selflessly serve our great country and make us so very PROUD.
Since 1979, the Iranian Regime has killed and wounded thousands of Americans, and they continue to threaten Americans and our friends. Today, by your courage and grit, you will change the course of human history.
My guidance for you is simple:
- Be Relentlessly Lethal. In the heat of conflict, remember who you are. Let your conduct be as professional as your aim is precise.
- Take Care of Your Teammates. The men and women on your flanks, in front of you and those at your six are your Guardian Angels. Be theirs.
- Steady Your Resolve. Combat is inherently chaotic. The hours, days and perhaps weeks ahead will challenge you. There will be noise and confusion. Fall back on your training. It is the best in the world.
You are the shield of the free world, and today, you are its sharpest sword.
As the eyes of the world fix upon us, stay safe, and GODSPEED.
The end of the Ayatollah regime would be more than a domestic breakthrough for Iran or a regional inflection point. And, it would also mark a strategic setback for the broader China-led authoritarian axis.

#OperationShieldofJudah
🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile stockpiles and anti-air defense systems were severely damaged or degraded during Israel’s #OperationRisingLion (13–24 June 2025), reducing the regime’s capacity to sustain high-intensity operations.
🇷🇺 At present, Tehran is unlikely to receive substantial military assistance from Russia, which is increasingly preoccupied with its own force regeneration and preparations for a prolonged confrontation on the #EasternFlank.
🇰🇵 The DPRK’s ability to offset this shortfall is also limited, as much of its exportable capacity is already committed to supporting Russian requirements.
🇨🇳 The remaining uncertainty centers on China, specifically whether Beijing would be willing to covertly provide electronic warfare support, cyber operations, or unmanned systems assistance in the event of potential direct US military action against the Iranian regime.
BREAKING:
News Nation reports that the USA is moving the aircraft carrier strike group Abraham Lincoln from the South China Sea to the Middle East.
It will arrive there in around a week
🇮🇷 Only the fall of the Ayatollahs’ regime and the restoration of a secular democracy under Crown Prince @PahlaviReza can bring peace to the Mideast and beyond. This shift would also effectively undermine the China–Russia–Iran–DPRK axis.
🇨🇳🇷🇺🇮🇷🇰🇵
