Exclusive: Minutes from disaster β€” how Qatar shot down two Iranian bombers in its first aerial combat operation | CNN Iranian bombers came within minutes of striking the largest military base housing US troops in the Middle East before Qatari planes shot them down, two sources briefed on the operation told CNN.

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani described the incident as β€œescalatory” and one that indicates β€œno genuine desire” by Iran to deescalate or find a resolution. β€œRather, it seeks to inflict harm on its neighbors and drag them into a war that is not theirs,” Al Thani said …

Kim Jong Un Can’t Believe Daughter Already Executing Boys PYONGYANGβ€”Tears welling in his eyes as he remarked upon how quickly things change, North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un reportedly told aides Wednesday he couldn’t believe his daughter Kim Ju Ae wa...

Yes but that goes back a little ways at least. It seems to have been fading one challenge at a time. The Dotard wasn’t the one who said β€œThis is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility,” or who drew a red line but then became colour blind. Imv last strong US fp team was Bush 1/41

SACEUR is General Grynkewich, as you well know. Admiral Vandier is Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, again as you well know. Let’s not use word limits as an excuse to get sloppy in writing teaser leads. Vandier has an important command, it’s worth hearing about - accurately.

He said that after I posted. As to his drunkenness, well …. In any case, sinking enemy ships is what submarines do in war.

That does not verify the destruction of a battery. You are being gulled by a pro Iran regime propaganda site.

If the IRGC does say so itself. No outlet other than this marginal Malaysian hobby site has this story. It reads like an IRGC press release. There is no corroboration the batteries were even hit. I’m calling bullshit on this one.
