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

The UK denying Muslim violence against their own people despite objective evidence to the contrary?

Hah! No way. I just don't believe it.

I had a quick look in Israeli media and the handful of Telegram groups I'm subscribed to, I've found exactly two outlets reporting that Hezbollah fired on a British ship.
The first is Channel 14, someone ITT equated it to Fox News and while I don't know much about what Fox News is like beyond American jokes at its expense, C14 is definitely a blatantly agenda-heavy, right-wing-for-right-wing's-sake media outlet that's fast and loose with what it reports. I wouldn't consider it a primary source on any topic.
The other is a site I've never heard of which could very well just have rephrased and reposted the C14 item.
I even checked some of those "news" sites where it's just crowd-sourced video posting (which is at least fast, if unreliable) and found nothing.
Personally I won't believe it until someone more reliable says something about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a rumor circulating in Lebanon that C14 picked up on and pumped for dear life.

Thank you very much for taking the time to elaborate in detail on the "Hannibal Directive." I've heard Hasan and other Hamas-simps use the phrase before in regard to their odious conspiracy-theorizing about IDF attack helicopters on October 7th, but while I have at least granted that the name appears to be or have been a real thing, I found it incredibly difficult to look into. Google search gives the impression that the "Hannibal Directive" is a topic practically exclusive to the anti-Israel crowd, producing a bunch of foreign/lesser media outlets that are Left-wing at best to outright adversarial. I assume that ChatGPT and the like just reflect this same coverage when asked to summarize. And of course, the article from ideologically-captured English Wikipedia reeks of conspiracy-theorizing with a giant section uncritically dedicated to accusations and suspicions about October 7th and no mention at all about how the topic is clearly attractive to conspiracy theorists regardless of what truth there is to it. I have a very hard time taking any of these adversarial explanations at face value, so it's nice to finally have a thorough counter-explanation to make sense of out what exactly the conspiracy theory stems from.

I'm glad people found it interesting!
There's very little to go on online even in Israel because again, no one ever came out and laid it out plainly, so it's all rumors upon rumors.
If I were to guess, I'd assume it's because soldiers are something of a sacred cow in Israel. I remember when I joined the army my mom told me she stopped seeing soldiers on the bus as big soldier men and started seeing them as poor exhausted children, and this is not a unique sentiment.
I can't imagine an IDF spokesperson doing the "here's when we start shooting at your baby boy that was ripped from your loving embrace" routine being very popular, even if it were completely rational.

Good, we don't need to make a deal. We can just kill everyone and take the oil for ourselves.

The fuck is this "we" bullshit? You're not getting anything.

Even MES is saying it's an IRGC or Basij that got Hellfired. Now kindly shut the fuck up and go back to your containment thread, we've got Happenings to post.

There was no Hellfire, habibi. Pars cars just do that. It automatically martyred the occupant to protect them from dastardly agents of the Great Satan.

>Look inside
>It's a firebombed IRGC corpse
Wow.

This type of joke is probably overused but still very true

Iranian flag captured in a village in southern Lebanon



Additionally, the IDF found poop-smeared graduation certificates of members of Hezbollah's "elite" Radwan force and weaponry along with training manuals inside of a school. (Lebanese media recently reported that schools are being leased out to Hezbollah)



In a house nearby, aid from Iran was found.

This is supposedly the story of the WSO's evasion. Again, supposedly.

Israeli Channel 12: New details have emerged about the rescue of the American F‑15E navigator shot down over Iran.The officer was unconscious with a concussion and did not transmit a distress signal initially.He made first contact at 12:00 on Friday, climbed to the highest point to avoid detection, walked 10‑12 kilometres and hid in a crevice, from where he sent precise coordinates on Friday night.Israel refrained from striking in the area and provided intelligence.During Friday and Saturday, Israel was asked to assist with air superiority and struck relevant targets.U.S. forces seized a farm 18 kilometres from his hideout, landing two aircraft and small helicopters.The helicopters extracted him from the crevice and returned him to the farm.During takeoff, two C‑130s became stuck in sand; three smaller planes were called to evacuate the navigator and special forces.Fighter jets then bombed the two stranded aircraft to prevent capture.

An Israeli airstrike targeted an apartment in the Christian town of Ain Saadeh in Lebanon's Mount Lebanon Governorate.

The strike killed Lebanese Forces official Pierre Mouawad, and his wife got trapped under the rubble on the second floor of the apartment, according to Al Jadeed.

The attack targeted the third floor, where another two bodies were reportedly recovered.

Emergency services are still searching for other people under the rubble in the targeted building.

Inside the targeted apartment in Ain Saadeh, Lebanon's Mount Lebanon Governorate.

The Israeli strike has resulted in several casualties, including the killing of a Lebanese Forces official.

You may have missed my post, but there's a very real chance he was mocking Iran with that - he said praise to Allah as he threatens to bomb the living hell out of their bridges and even energy grid. He has said glory to God several times over before, and probably will several times in the future. It was weird for sure, but actually stopping to think about it, it feels like the kind of mockery I'd expect from an upset Trump.

I dont want to dwell on this any longer than I should as this is not the debate thread but that shit was weird as hell and something Ethan Ralph would say not the President of the United States

Oh well I'll take your word for it

When do you deploy? Otherwise you're another cowardly faggot and need to shut the fuck up.

Was it your cousin in that car?

I'm getting dead jihadis, sure each one is worth about 3 cents but low profit high volume is the best way to Park Avenue

Poor Britain. Not even in the war and still lost half the fleet from a single action with shore based derka-derks.

At least they still have their 60 admirals to drink tea and strut about with their batons. That’ll stop those Houthi rockets for sure next time.

I think the successful rescue on Easter in combination with the can of whoopass Trump's finna open has him feeling a certain kind of way.

President Trump told ABC News that the Iran War should be over in days, not weeks.

No take backs this time, Mr President, please.

[draggs]

Wait, where was this stated? Hilarious if true.

It's being claimed (with pictures and video that may or may not support the claim) that residents of Dehdasht went out into the streets, creating big traffic jams that hindered movement of IRGC through the city out into the countryside search areas

Missiles, stealth, and guided bombs are cool. But sometimes you need a hammer to get in there and break things. The Air Force still seethes they had to build it to keep the army out of its budget, which lol. Fairchild's last and greatest masterpiece.
