MAJOR! CNN just said 45% of American Precision Strike Missiles, at least half of its THAAD interceptors, and nearly 50% of its Patriot missiles were used in only 7 weeks, in this Iran war
This is wild!
Trump cannot afford to continue this war
๐จBREAKING: UAE SAYS NO IRANIAN MISSILES OR DRONES DETECTED TODAY
The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense has officially confirmed that no Iranian cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, or drones were detected in the past several hours.
This report, issued on April 9, indicates a significant pause in aerial activity from Tehran following weeks of heightened regional tensions.
Defense systems across the UAE remain at high alert despite the current lack of incoming threats to Gulf airspace.

๐จ๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ More than 24 hours in, the missing crew member from the F-15E Strike Eagle is still somewhere inside Iran
The White House? Quiet.
Still no updates, just a โmutedโ line while the search keeps going.
Meanwhile, both sides are still looking.
๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท The Pentagon is planning weeks of ground operations while the White House says the war is almost over...
Trump: "I'm not putting troops anywhere."
Rubio: "We can achieve all objectives without ground troops."
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is war-gaming raids on Kharg Island and coastal weapons sites that officials say would take "weeks, not months."
One source even said "a couple of months."
62% of Americans strongly oppose ground troops in Iran.
Republican congressmen who are Navy SEALs are saying no.
And Lindsey Graham compared seizing Kharg to Iwo Jima, a battle that killed 6,800 Marines.
The most honest quote came from a former defense official: "Seizing it is not difficult. Protecting your guys once they are there is."
Every expert says the same thing.
You can take the islands.
You just can't hold them without becoming a target practice range for Iranian drones and missiles.
And 62% of the country doesn't even want you to try.

UPDATE: IRAN NEGOTIATOR WAS NOT ASSASSINATED
Iranian sources are refuting claims that Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Trump's Go To negotiator, was assassinated
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, as it's already been a rough night: The Houthis joining, Israel bombing a major Iranian water source, Iran threatening American universities in the Middle East, heavy attacks on the Gulf, and strong Iranian retaliation against the strikes on their 3 biggest steel plants
The killing of Iran's negotiator would have been the nail in the coffin for any early end to the war. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be true
๐จ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท Gen. Keane says the evidence is clear: Iran is in a weakened state but don't mistake that for surrender.
"There's no evidence they're giving up here.
The evidence is quite the contrary."
๐จ๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Iran War Update: a massive wave of strikes on Iran is still reportedly coming and this whole operation could run four to five weeks or longer.
The US Embassy in Riyadh got hit by two Iranian drones but it was empty at the time, so no injuries.
Meanwhile over 700 Iranian civilians have already been killed since the fighting started, with more coming in every hour.
Israel is pounding Hezbollah command centers in Beirut right now while Iran keeps launching missiles at US troops and partners across the region.
And now the State Department is telling every American in the Middle East to get out immediately because things are only heating up from here.
