Looks like the war with Iran is cooking off

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Yemen can GFI.  What a useless piece of Shi'ite.

I wouldn't exactly call them useless. Annoying gnats. They have and can wreck havoc again in the Red Sea for shipping. No idea how well armed they are given Iran has been expending missiles & drones like there's no tomorrow.

CENTCOM March 28th Update:




Houthis join the party:




Ali Shoaib, the famous Al Manar TV journalist, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, according to Al Mayadeen. Al Mayadeen's Fatima Ftouni was also killed. You'd think by now these [Shia] journo's would learn. "PRESS" = target.


The IDF is claiming they killed Ali because he was reporting in the south of Lebanon, a war crime of the highest order according to their law of war.


Clever sarcasm...




Two Iranian propeller-driven strike drones targeted ship-to-shore cranes in the Omani port of Salalah. Not the first, but first in this new war.

Iran sold Shahed drones to Russia in 2022. Russia upgraded them with goodies. Now, Russia is sending the upgraded drones back to Iran.

On the flip-side a flicker of light.

STRATCOM commander Admiral Richard Correll echoes DOE assessment that there is no need for the US to conduct explosive nuclear weapons tests.

No nukes, no problem...how about chemical weapons...

During Trump's first term he sanctioned 266 chemical weapons researchers in Syria. On June 30, 2025, all those sanctions were removed without explanation from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals List.

Back in the 80s during the Iran-Iraq war the US State Dept via their usual cohorts gave chemical weapons to the Iraqis for using on Iran.


Meanwhile, on the Russia front, NATO expansion east reaffirmed & deepened perception that NATO was a threat. Now, Russian invasion of Ukraine, military production, and alleged gray-zone operations have reaffirmed & deepened perception in West that Russia is a growing threat.

Sounds like a Strait of suicide mission. Then again I have no idea what the war plan entails with a small handful of Marines. God Speed, Semper Fi!



In Desert Storm we had 700,000 troops with a massive mechanized army with about 540,000 of those American and we stopped short of invading Baghdad. Much smaller, much less fortified country versus mountain hell fortress of Iran.




The red arrows point to the coastal areas we have heavily bombed and strafed with A-10s and AH-64 Apaches.
