Best video of the Iranian B1 bridge getting hit that i have seen so far.

Two groups of bombs can be seen impacting the bridge and the slow motion replay shows good detail.

ON TARGET 🎯

🌍 UMA VISÃO DE OUTRO MUNDO.🛰️

Visto do espaço, o nosso planeta revela contrastes impressionantes.

Sobrevoando o Saara a partir da Estação Espacial, é possível observar montanhas, dunas e planícies de sal formando um cenário único.

Uma visão que poucos têm… e que nos lembra da beleza e da grandiosidade da Terra.

Eu posso dizer: lá de cima, não precisa de filtro. Só de atenção. 🌍🚀

Artemis II: Closing in on the MoonThe astronauts of Artemis II are now truly venturing into deep space — and the Moon is getting closer every hour.They have already traveled more than 200,000 miles (about 320,000 km) from Earth. With every passing moment, our home planet grows smaller in their windows, while the Moon looms larger ahead. Soon, the Moon’s gravitational pull — its “sphere of influence” — will begin to dominate, gently tugging the spacecraft into its embrace.Right now, the crew is fully immersed in the demanding routines of deep-space flight: Running critical checks on the life support systems that keep them alive
Testing communications with Earth across vast distances
Practicing manual flight maneuvers
And carefully preparing for the dramatic lunar flyby that lies just ahead

This is the moment Artemis II transitions from leaving Earth behind to preparing for humanity’s return to the Moon — not just orbiting it, but getting ready to push the boundaries of exploration once again.The journey is entering its most exciting phase.

BREAKING: The missing American weapons systems officer is alive and out of Iran. Fox News, citing two senior US officials, reports that US special operations forces extracted the downed F-15E crew member after a massive firefight with IRGC and Basij forces in the mountains of southwestern Iran. The Pentagon has not officially confirmed. If the reports hold, the United States just pulled off the first successful combat rescue from inside Iranian territory in American military history. Desert One failed in 1980. Dehdasht did not.

The WSO ejected over Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province on Friday when Iranian air defences shot down his F-15E Strike Eagle, the first manned American aircraft lost to enemy fire since 2003. He spent approximately 24 hours evading capture on the ground while Iranian state television broadcast a bounty for his capture alive, Basij militia flooded the mountains, and armed civilians fired automatic rifles at American rescue helicopters overhead. NBC News verified the footage. The IRGC warned residents to stay away. Tasnim, the semi-official news agency, said Iran would “not announce whether the pilot is in our custody.”

Then the operators came.

Reports describe a JSOC-led night extraction supported by A-10 Warthog gun runs on IRGC convoys and a telecommunications tower in Dehdasht to suppress the Iranian response. Iranian local officials reported at least four killed and several wounded. Unverified social media reports described “large numbers” of IRGC and Basij casualties transferred from Black Mountain to Dehdasht Hospital. Crowds gathered outside. The US struck Basij convoys advancing on the WSO’s position with close air support while ground teams moved in for the extraction. Fox News reported that the WSO “and the members of the rescue team are all safely out of Iran.”

This happened 48 hours after the President told the nation that Iran’s radar was “100 percent annihilated” and that there was “not a thing” Iran could do. Iran shot down the jet. Iran mobilised thousands to hunt the crew. Iran offered a bounty on state television. And America sent its most classified soldiers into the Iranian mountains, fought the IRGC on the ground, and brought their man home. The gap between the political narrative and the operational reality has never been wider or more consequential.

The rescue, if confirmed, changes the war’s trajectory in ways that transcend the survival of one airman. It demonstrates that American special operations forces can insert into, fight inside, and extract from Iran. It proves that the IRGC’s ground control in its own provinces is penetrable. It removes the immediate hostage leverage that would have paralysed American decision-making heading into the April 6 deadline. And it shifts the psychological balance: the country that was hunting the pilot is now absorbing the fact that the hunters were outfought by a force that came and left before dawn.

But it also confirms what the shootdown already proved. Iran is not finished. A country with “no anti-aircraft equipment” brought down a $100 million fighter. A country whose radar was “annihilated” forced the most expensive rescue operation of the war. A country that was supposed to be “decimated” mobilised fast enough to require A-10 gun runs and a ground battle to recover one man. The WSO is alive because the operators were extraordinary. The operators were needed because the war is not what the President says it is.

The man is out. The war is not over. And the 48-hour clock is still running.

JUST IN: Iranian state television is broadcasting footage of American military wreckage on Iranian soil. Two Black Hawk helicopters and one C-130 transport, burned in the mountains of southern Isfahan. Iran says it shot them down. The United States says it blew them up itself. The full story is that American special forces were stranded inside Iran after their aircraft failed, destroyed their own machines to protect their secrets, and waited for a second wave to take them home.

The sequence, reconstructed from Fox News and the New York Times citing senior US officials, is this. After the F-15E was shot down on April 3, JSOC operators and Pararescuemen inserted into the Dehdasht mountains via Night Stalker helicopters to extract the evading weapons systems officer. Two C-130 transports landed at a remote forward arming and refuelling point inside Iran to support the operation. Both aircraft became immobilised. Whether the cause was terrain, enemy fire, mechanical failure under combat load, or some combination is not publicly confirmed. What is confirmed is that the aircraft could not leave.

The operators faced the decision that defines the difference between this war and every press conference about it. Leave the aircraft intact and let the IRGC capture American avionics, encrypted communications, night-vision technology, and classified software. Or destroy the aircraft, strand themselves deeper inside enemy territory, and trust that a second rescue would come for the rescuers. They chose the second option.

Three additional transports arrived under fire. The stranded operators, the Pararescuemen, and the WSO boarded. They flew out of Iran. Zero casualties. The operation that began as a rescue of one man became a rescue of the rescuers, and all of them made it out because nobody in the chain decided the mission was too broken to complete.

The footage Iran is showing tonight is real. American military hardware, destroyed on Iranian territory. But it was not destroyed by Iran. It was destroyed by Americans who flew it there, because the secrets inside the machines were worth more than the machines, and because the operators trusted their country would send more aircraft into hostile territory to bring them home after they blew up their ride.

The last time American aircraft were destroyed on Iranian soil was Desert One, 1980. A helicopter collided with a C-130. Eight Americans died. The mission aborted. The wreckage was paraded on Iranian television for weeks. Forty-six years later, American aircraft were destroyed on Iranian soil again. This time the destruction was deliberate. Nobody died. The man they came for came with them. And the footage Iran broadcasts as a victory is evidence of operators who chose to sacrifice hardware rather than secrets, and a chain of command that sent three more planes into the same airspace to finish what the first wave started.

The wreckage is real. What it represents depends on who is looking. Iran sees downed American aircraft. America sees a rescue that succeeded despite losing its ride home. The truth is in the burning metal: a war that was supposed to be easy just required the most complex combat extraction in decades, and the men who pulled it off had to destroy their own helicopters to do it.

BREAKING: April 3 was the worst day for American military aviation since the war began. An F-15E Strike Eagle shot down over Iran. One crew member, the pilot, rescued by American forces. The second, the weapons systems officer, still missing. An A-10 Warthog hit by enemy fire during the rescue mission, the pilot nursing the damaged aircraft out of Iranian airspace and into Kuwait before ejecting. Pilot recovered. Two HH-60W helicopters retrieved the rescued F-15E pilot but the helicopter carrying him was hit by small arms fire, wounding crew members on board. It landed safely. Three types of American aircraft struck in a single operational sequence. The President was asked on NBC whether it affects negotiations. “No, not at all,” he said. “This is war.”

It is war. The war that was “nearing completion” two days ago just produced the first confirmed shootdown of a manned American fighter over enemy territory. The air defences Trump said were destroyed brought down a jet from the squadron he personally commended. Israel suspended airstrikes in areas “relevant” to the rescue effort. The Pentagon reported 365 American service members wounded since February 28, a figure that had not previously been disclosed at that scale. And Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf posted the sentence that will define this chapter: “After defeating Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy war they started has now been downgraded from regime change to can anyone find our pilots?”

Iranian state television broadcast the manhunt live. A local channel in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province aired the instruction: “If you capture the enemy pilot or pilots alive and hand them over to the police, you will receive a precious prize.” The channel initially told viewers to shoot on sight. The guidance was revised after a police statement requested the pilots be delivered alive. Tasnim reported nomadic tribesmen and villagers deployed across mountains with personal weapons. The governor called for a “widespread chase.” Tasnim reported that at least one pilot may have been captured following what it described as a failed American rescue attempt. US officials have not confirmed this.

The aircraft belongs to the 494th Fighter Squadron at RAF Lakenheath. The red band on the vertical stabilizer was visible in the wreckage. The Aviationist and The War Zone confirmed the markings independently. Iran claimed it was an F-35. It was not. Iran misidentified its own kill. But the kill was real. The ACES II ejection seat was photographed on Iranian soil. The impact crater and burn scar are consistent with a fighter-sized crash into mountainous terrain.

This is the squadron that shot down more than 70 Iranian drones defending Israel in April 2024. The Mackay Trophy recipients. The President’s heroes. Two years later the red band is in a crater and the weapons systems officer who sat behind the pilot may be evading capture in the mountains of the country whose drones they destroyed, listening for rotors, hoping the ones approaching are American.

The last time Iranian authorities mobilised civilians to seize Americans was 1979. Fifty-two diplomats. Four hundred and forty-four days. It ended a presidency. If the WSO is captured alive, the April 6 power-plant deadline becomes a hostage negotiation. The grand bargain acquires a face and a name.

The crowd has been summoned. The American may already be in their hands.

🔥 Imagine the voice of truth emerging from American bases and soldiers 🇺🇲 in the midst of hell:

​"We are so exhausted… this is a war we did not choose and never wanted. My only wish is to return home. I don't want war… I want peace."

[GBC @GBC_Press]

Iran has already dug the graves for billion-dollar helicopters and fighter jets.

​America is bringing these fighter planes to Iran for war, and Iran is waiting to "welcome" all of them.

​Iran will shoot down these billion-dollar fighter jets using its thousand-dollar missiles.
