Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

Iran’s missiles destroyed an Israeli site belonging to the aerospace-related institute Aero Sol in Petah Tikva, ‘Israel’. Aero Sol manufactures military drones and advanced composite parts for the Israeli military.

So it's been 2 hours, nobody's sourced this and I haven't seen it anywhere else going around.
One thing that caught my eye was that usually flight suits are olive green. For some reason the F-15 pilots downed in Kuwait had a khaki jacket of full khaki flight suit like the image presented. Other than that idk. It'd be a career ending burn if Jack Murphy tweeted wrongly about the rescue so I'm still on the fence about the story on both sides.

Pro: poster on this thread claims this was posted by official irgc. If true, it doesn't make sense to post a fake capture. Id like to see this image be traced. If you can't trace it back to official sources. Than it's likely fake.

Fake: it's strange to only have one image
I know fighter crew are known for good looks but the guy looks a little too generic American top gun.
 
Mild NSFW, blurred dead bodies.

Per the Vihad Online Telegram channel and translated via Google:
This video is being played with the caption 'Encountering the bodies of several people who were looking for an American pilot'.
There is nothing special in it and I don't know if it is true or not, especially since I don't understand the language.
It seems that they assumed from the weapons that the bodies belonged to military personnel and said they were in civilian clothes.
The AK-pattern rifle they took off the bodies has black plastic furniture like the AK-103s the Basij use and their civilian clothes also point to them being militia, not IRGC or Artesh.
A translation from Arabic to Persian and then to English by Google of what they are saying:
They are talking to Larry. They say, "Hey Dad, these are dead, they are soldiers." One of them said, "No, these are civilian clothes." Then he picked up his gun.
Then the phone rings, he picks up the phone, and says that the owner of the phone has unfortunately been martyred.
He says, "Allahu Akbar," or "God," and calls out to his friend...

MES claims the WSO hasn't been rescued and both sides are still searching for him.

The only thing I'd take as fact from this is that Iran hasn't found him because if they had every Iranian Telegram channel would be posting non-stop about it.
 
Might be an indicator of Trump saying fuck it and actually flattening the country.

This is a sign of shit going down.

I have heard three lines of speculation I'm going to rank what I think is likely:
1) Prevent Iran from combing photos for evidence of the WSO or crowd sourcing it to Jeets. I think this is most likely given timing. They might be looking for traces of him directly, or where the PJs were hunting.
2) Given the supposed text from the shah telling royalists to start activating, it might mean that ground based civil war might be on. Trump does not want Iran having 4K satellite imagery of rebel movements or massings.
I cannot believe Trump would give the go-ahead for any sort of large scale novel operation on a sunday, but its far from impossible. I really wish they'd give the overthrow go-ahead already so I can get paid out my by polymarket bets stop speculation and see what will actually happen.
3) US operations on the Gulf islands might be getting ready to go. See above about not wanting the Iranians to have 4K satellite intel on US force disposition.

10x United States Stratotankers, between Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker and Boeing KC-46A Pegasus, airbone over Northern Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf and Israel as now
Wait wait wait hold on. How the fuck can we have more tankers? the Brownest BROOOOCS posters during their daily multipolaring sesh informed me that Iran destroyed all the US refueling planes in Saudi Arabia and that the US is completely finished. That must be fake.


Charge a toll for what? It's not a canal that they are maintaining, it's a natural formation, and Iran only borders one side of it anyway, the other side is attached to Oman or whatever.
This is extortion, regardless of which country is imposing it.
And Eurocuckss can't WAIT to pay it.

Basij forces is a catch all for their milita loyalists. They have multiple branches of security that gave me a headache but the basic idea of the Basij is a mimic to the SS from World War II. The Iranian regular army are the conscripts while the Basij are loyalists to the regime.
You kind of have it backwards. The Basij are more like the The Hitler Youth but for Adults. The SS were well trainined and got the best equipment they could manage.
The Basij are the most regime-cucked Militia armed with whatever they can spare and given Islamic Arab levels of training.

>Dedicate your life and your efforts to killing the infidel. Spend over two decades being THE man, planning battles, always in danger, trying to organize common arabs and bullwhip them into actually fighting, become a fighter hated and feared but forcing your enemies to give you grudging respect for your effectiveness, until you slip one day trying to wrangle Iraqi goatfuckers who don't believe in the mission now that the checks are a little late.
>Grandniece becomes a basic western thot

I can tell she'll fit right in back home in Iran.

Also:
Now I know enough to know what will happen if she ever stops visiting the laser hair clinic. So I would not.
However for those saying would I'm judging you less here than normal.

Sorry, I'm just not used to seeing a country act in their own self interest so readily. Perhaps Ukraine deserves some kind of reward for becoming so thankyou-pilled.
I know the feeling. I'm having a bit of a world view unspooling moment myself.
"Could Putin be correct when he says Ukraine isn't European? They are fighting muslims and acting in their national security interests, that is EXTEMELY un-European."

Yup. When people ask "So what has the USA gotten out of helping Ukraine?" instead of a very weird and complex geopolitical argument to explain precisely why Russia is bad everyone can just go "They sent some of their battle-hardened interception experts to the Middle East to help us out with Iran".
Um, excuse me. That's helping the MidEast. What does AMERICA get out of it?
Check mate, NAFOtranny. :smug:
 
If we get the pilot out it'll be a judgement on if we're a real country or not if a movie gets made about it.

I've seen several claims online that the photo is from the 2015 shootdown of a Russian Su-24 by the Turks over Syria.

However, comparing Captain Konstantin Murakhtin from that incident with the alleged Iranian capture photo, it doesn't appear to be the same guy.

So, still taking Murphy with a grain of salt until more confirmation, but he at least has plausible connects to the US special forces community and US military in general.
What insider intel would MES have from the American side?

I agree. Similar vibe but ear lobe shape gives it away immediately.

What a fucking clusterfuck btw, we have a journalist I personally trust just spewing "thank god we got him" without sources, a "photo" of the pilot from "sources" in captivity, and commenters saying they are still looking for him. I think I'll go to bed early to see how things pan out.

Do we have any information on what the airman emergency communication device is like?
They have EXTREMELY HIGH fidelity emergency transponders. The Air Force and SOCOM knows almost exactly where he is. Getting to him safely would be the issue. It has been reported because similar devices have been used to locate hostages for rescue missions in Afghanistan.

This person also declined to provide the source when I asked.
Anyways, there are very strange artifacts in this image. Compare the high detail on the fabric to the AI-style smudge elsewhere.
There is also a strange man in the top left. This is not out of the ordinary, but I think it is amusing. Edited: This cannot be who I think it is, can it?
Finally, I cannot make sense of what he is wearing. This does not appear to resemble a US flight suit in any way.

Say, would Russian Air Force jumpsuits be tan, by chance?
I do not think so. I have never seen a jet pilot in a tan flight suit. It is unusual.

They have something like this, and other things.
