How much you want to bet that those MANPADS were supplied to Iran by Russia?

Pres. Trump should be saying "Putin!" the same way Jerry said "Newman!"

Or China ...

There is no way that an active military person can assume a Cabinet position - candidate must be out 7 years.

ABC Skews was trying to make IR technology sound new and mystifying. In the real world, the US and other nations started using and evolving IR detection for missile guidance since the 1940s. The first generation of the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile came into service in 1956. Flares are used to distract IR missiles (also decades-old technology), but depend on knowing there is a possible need for the flares.

Or he may have run out of flares - could be a trap designed to use up the fighters flares so it gets hit.

IRGC's 'larger than normal' presence poses challenge in search for missing F-15E crew member, expert warns
Arab tribes in Khuzestan province who oppose the Iranian government could impact the rescue effort
Madison Colombo By Madison Colombo Fox News
Published April 4, 2026 12:10pm EDT

A counterterrorism expert warned that a large Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) presence in the region of the F-15E fighter jet crash could complicate search and rescue efforts for the missing U.S. crew member.

Jim Hanson, a chief strategist at the Middle East Forum who served in the U.S. Army Special Forces, joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" to explain what the mission may look like.

Khuzestan Province, where the fighter jet crashed, is home to Arab tribes who oppose the central Iranian government. While that could help the stranded airman, it also means the IRGC is present to suppress opposition.

"The IRGC and Basij have a larger-than-normal presence there to go ahead and tamp [local tribes] down when they do protest," Hanson said.

Excerpt:

The President says 48 hours remain.

The Ford carrier that is fighting has been at sea for 281 days with broken plumbing and a patched laundry. The carrier that was repaired just returned from three weeks in Greece and Croatia. The carrier that was sent as replacement is still in the Atlantic.

The AWACS was destroyed on the ground in Saudi Arabia. The reinforcing Marines are crossing the Pacific. The missing weapons systems officer has not been found. And the force backing the countdown is the largest America has assembled in the Gulf since the last time it invaded a country in this region, stretched across bases that cannot hold the troops, dependent on a carrier fleet so strained that the Navy had to cancel the retirement of a 51-year-old ship [ Nimitz ] to keep the numbers viable.

The question the next 48 hours will answer is not whether this force is powerful. It is. The question is whether a force at this level of strain, dependent on a single combat-active carrier, with its early warning destroyed on the ground, and its reinforcements weeks away, is ready for what the President’s countdown may demand of it.

It is possible that no one will find the missing weapons officer, since another F-15 blew up the remains of the downed plane to keep Iran from obtaining classified stuff while the officer in question may have still been in or near the plane.

We can fervently hope not, but that does not change the possibility.

If he ejected, he should be well away from the plane.  Does he not have a GPS beacon?  He might, but may not be using it to avoid detection by unfriendlies.

Excellent idea.

Why not fake the downing of the jet and pilot and lure IRGC in to recover plane parts that explode in their faces?

The biggest tell of the weekend about what is about to happen is NOT the president's bellicose Truth Social post.

And it is NOT the reports of additional U.S. aircraft possibly on the move to the region.

No, the biggest tell is this: President Trump did not go to Mar-a-Lago this weekend, and he has no public schedule as he stays at the White House.

NEW: The White House has called a lid for the remainder of the day, meaning the President is NOT expected to make any public appearances. Meanwhile, the petulant pests on the Left are demanding a public briefing on the Iran situation. That would be reckless. When there is an ACTIVE search and rescue operation involving a missing Weapons System Officer, minimizing public communications is standard procedure. Take a seat and let the adults do the important work. This isn’t a video game. All details will be made available at the right time.

Inside Iran's underground missile cities that enabled them to defy Trump: How fortresses buried in granite mountains protect huge arsenal of weapons and hidden rocket launch ports

Daily Mail
By ELIANA SILVER
4 April 2026

Buried roughly 500 metres deep inside a mountain in central Iran, the Yazd missile base is less a bunker than a buried fortress.

Carved into one of the hardest types of rock on Earth, the facility sits inside Shirkuh granite that can withstand crushing pressures far beyond conventional construction materials.

This material puts up the toughest barrier possible for even the most powerful American bunker-busting bomb – the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

And inside, the mountain has been hollowed into something closer to a hidden city than a military base.

The secret facility is thought to possess an automated rail system which runs through tunnels linking assembly areas, storage depots and multiple concealed exits cut into different faces of the mountain.

In similar underground missile cities seen in Iranian propaganda videos, launchers are moved around rapidly on lorries, rolled out to fire, and withdrawn back underground behind heavy armoured doors in the blink of an eye.

Despite weeks of relentless US-Israeli strikes on its facilities, Iran is somehow still able to unleash its hidden arsenal of rockets and drones at targets across the Middle East.

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Yazd missile base alone is thought to have been hit at least six times since the start of Trump's war with Iran, including on March 1, March 27 and 28.

Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Agree with immediate deportation of herself  and her daughter.

But forget about the idea of freezing her cash $$$ as I've seen some suggested.   **nononono*

A kidnapping doesn't exactly instill any confidence that journalists are safe just because they are journalist.  Journalist reporting over in the ME are taking an enormous risk with their lives.   **nononono*

Prayers that she survives and is returned.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Inside Iran's underground missile cities that enabled them to defy Trump: How fortresses buried in granite mountains protect huge arsenal of weapons and hidden rocket launch ports

Daily Mail
By ELIANA SILVER
4 April 2026

Buried roughly 500 metres deep inside a mountain in central Iran, the Yazd missile base is less a bunker than a buried fortress.

Carved into one of the hardest types of rock on Earth, the facility sits inside Shirkuh granite that can withstand crushing pressures far beyond conventional construction materials.

This material puts up the toughest barrier possible for even the most powerful American bunker-busting bomb – the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

And inside, the mountain has been hollowed into something closer to a hidden city than a military base.

The secret facility is thought to possess an automated rail system which runs through tunnels linking assembly areas, storage depots and multiple concealed exits cut into different faces of the mountain.

In similar underground missile cities seen in Iranian propaganda videos, launchers are moved around rapidly on lorries, rolled out to fire, and withdrawn back underground behind heavy armoured doors in the blink of an eye.

Despite weeks of relentless US-Israeli strikes on its facilities, Iran is somehow still able to unleash its hidden arsenal of rockets and drones at targets across the Middle East.

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Yazd missile base alone is thought to have been hit at least six times since the start of Trump's war with Iran, including on March 1, March 27 and 28.

If true, it could only mean they they have at least one nuke and plan to use it/them.

@zhehan0x

🚨🚨🚨 CHINA JUST SENT 25 AIRCRAFT AND 11 WARSHIPS AROUND TAIWAN. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨🚨🚨

While the ENTIRE world watches Iran, Beijing just ran its biggest show of force in weeks.

Aircraft closer to the main island than previous patterns. Ships in positions they haven't held before.

April 2. A Wednesday. Let that sink in.

💀 The US just pulled aircraft carriers OUT of the Pacific to fight Iran
💀 JASSM-ER cruise missiles originally stockpiled for a Taiwan scenario were redirected to the Middle East
💀 China resumed ADIZ flights the EXACT week Washington got distracted
💀 26 aircraft and 7 ships detected March 15 — 16 entering the ADIZ
💀 25 aircraft and 11 warships detected April 2 — some closer than ever
💀 Taiwan's opposition just BLOCKED $40,000,000,000 in drone and missile defense funding
💀 The KMT leader accepted an invitation to visit Beijing — first sitting chairperson in years
💀 PRC-linked firms caught building intelligence databases on EVERY major Taiwanese politician
💀 Type 039 submarines running surveillance disruption ops inside the Strait
💀 Coast Guard vessels patrolling the Taiwan Strait like it's Chinese territory
💀 PLA shifting from daily harassment to joint operations training — smarter and more coordinated
💀 Chinese state media running daily campaigns telling Taiwanese citizens American weapons don't work

⚠️ Taiwan scheduling Han Kuang invasion war games April 11-24 — simulating EXACTLY this scenario
⚠️ Taiwanese civilians making escape plans — moving assets to Japan, Singapore, Canada

A friend of mine who works in Pacific defense analysis told me last week:

"The drawdown is real. If something happens in the Strait in the next 90 days, we're thin. Thinner than anyone wants to admit publicly."

That's when I knew this was real.

They're showing you "routine military exercises."
They're NOT showing you that the US Pacific arsenal is being drained in real-time to fight a different war on a different continent.

Here's the logic — follow it carefully:

→ US pulls carriers and missiles from Pacific stockpiles
→ China watches every redeployment via satellite in real-time
→ PLA resumes flights around Taiwan immediately
→ Taiwan's own legislature blocks the defense budget
→ KMT leader visits Beijing voluntarily
→ Civilians start packing bags
→ Beijing tightens the noose without firing a single shot

If this was "routine," why are Taiwanese civilians making personal evacuation plans RIGHT NOW?

If this was "stable," why did Taiwan just schedule full-scale invasion war games?

Complete silence.

This is no longer a cross-strait dispute. This is a Pacific power vacuum — and China is filling it hour by hour.

the next update on this is going to break the internet.. make sure you're following so you see it first. 🚨🚨🚨
