Probably smoking hash, mixed with opium or dusted with lsd.

Basically, they are double-dog-daring us to kill the whole regime.  If the mullahs want to be apocalyptic martyrs for jihad, let's grant them their wish.  The world is a better place without them.

A-10s


https://twitter.com/AlBuffalo2nite/status/2030811270073463070

The A-10 was designed in the early 70s for Close Air Support in Europe, especially against Soviet tanks. It's less useful now against modern tanks, but still useful against IFVs and other vehicles and against fortified positions.. It's designed to be able to use highways as runways if necessary. If the landing gear fail to deploy, its wheel protrude low enough to land gear-up.

That the pilot sits in a titanium "bath tub" is famously known. The engines are positioned to minimize exposure to ground fire. The Projection Unit (the USAF name for its HUD) gets power from two separate sources. If the main power is shut down or severed, it has a basic targeting reticule, adjustable for ordinance type (it can carry a lot of different "eggs" in a large payload in addition to the more famous GAU-8 30 mm Gatling gun in the nose), that runs on the 28VDC back-up power. Guess how I know about the PU.

It's a basic rugged, not super high-tech, airplane that has proven itself adaptable and useful to evolving battlefield environs and needs. The USAF geniuses in the Pentagon have been trying to kill it since the late 1970s, despite that usefulness.

BTW, the Fairchild Republic ancestor Republic produced the F-105 and P-47, and its earlier ancestor Seversky produced the 1930s vintage P-35.

📌 Iran’s mine capability and past preparations
Iran is widely estimated to possess several thousand naval mines (roughly 5,000–6,000), including influence and contact types that could be used to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz — a common tactic in its anti‑access/area‑denial strategy. U.S. intelligence has previously observed Iran preparing mines on vessels in the Persian Gulf in earlier tensions, though those were not deployed at the time

Former U.S. Marine Scott Ritter:

The drop in missile launches is not a sign of Iranian weakness. It is the calm before the storm as they move from 15 year old decoys to the “big guns.”


https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2031261160301842560

Scott Ritter claims, Israel is “begging for an off ramp” after realizing it may be defenseless against what could come next.

He adds that the war will not end until Tel Aviv is “turned upside down” and the U.S. “reset button is permanently broken.”

The crazy delusion doesn’t stop.

Did one of the Mullahcrats promise Scott Ritter 36 virgins for spreading Iranian propaganda, not knowing it'll actually be 36 Helen Thomases?

Iran has begun laying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. intelligence sources and multiple news reports.  The move marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, with Iran using small vessels capable of carrying two to three mines each. While the mining effort is not yet extensive—only a few dozen mines have been laid so far—Iran retains 80% to 90% of its small boats and mine-laying assets, enabling it to deploy hundreds of mines if needed.(ai)

SO, those storage areas need to be removed from play, and the small vessels as well. Send the A-10s boat hunting.

This is the real Iranians navy. The other ships were just for show. Hegseth was fooled into going after them while their real navy made preparations for action.

Lethal elite 'black-clad' kill squad guards Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei
Well-paid NOPO unit deployed following targeted attack on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
By Emma Bussey Fox News
Published March 10, 2026 7:37pm EDT

An elite counterterrorism unit has been deployed to protect Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, following the assassination of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Fox News Digital has learned.

The force, known as NOPO — Iran’s black-clad Counterterrorism Special Force — was assigned to safeguard the leader after a U.S.-Israel strike on a Tehran compound on Feb. 28 killed the elder Khamenei amid the start of Operation Epic Fury.

"With Khamenei gone, NOPO will now be protecting Mojtaba Khamenei," Ali Safavi, an official with the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran, or NCRI said.

The force, formed in 1991, was initially the "nucleus" of the IRGC’s 28th Ruhollah (Khomeini’s first name) Division, according to Safavi, and typically handles hostage rescue operations.

The history of the unit also includes deployments against internal security threats, and it has often been called on to suppress protests.

Iran’s Assembly of Experts elected Mojtaba Khamenei on March 8, 2026, elevating him as the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.

His succession comes amid ongoing war with the U.S. and Israel, but so far, Mojtaba Khamenei has not been heard from since the start of the conflict.

According to The Times of Israel, Iranian state television reported that Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded in the war, with the reports yet unconfirmed.

"NOPO is the Farsi acronym for Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, which translates into the Special Force to Protect the Supreme Leader," Safavi further explained.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Israel media outlet N12 says a defense source believes that toppling the Iranian regime is looking 'less realistic' at the moment, and instead the goal of weakening it and crippling its infrastructure is achievable.

The Turkish Ministry of Defense has announced that a NATO MIM-104 “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile System will be deployed to the Malatya Province of Southeastern Turkey, near NATO’s Kürecik Radar Station, which operates as an early-warning radar against ballistic missile attacks and was used to help detect, track, and intercept at least two Iranian ballistic missiles in the last few days over Turkey.

According to the Washington Post (WP), citing an internal U.S. alert viewed by WP, a drone strike impacted the U.S. Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center in Baghdad, Iraq, today. The support center, a logistical hub for U.S. diplomats in close proximity to Iraqi bases and Baghdad Airport, was targeted by Iranian-backed militias in what an unnamed security official called retaliation for the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. 5 out of the 6 drones launched by militias were shot down, with one hitting the facility. At the time of writing, no injuries have been reported.
