It’s interesting seeing all the same people who assured me for so long that Ukraine couldn’t shoot down ballistic missiles with Patriot systems all of a sudden start celebrating that Ukraine is out of interceptors, saying that now they “can’t shoot down Iskanders anymore”.

Wouldn’t that imply that they were able to shoot down Iskanders while they did have interceptors? The inability of some people to self reflect is astounding.

This lines up with the claim by the IRGC that 10 missiles were launched, and the Jordanian military that 8 were shot down. However, the Jordanian military falsely claimed that 8/8 missiles were intercepted.

The IRGC announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to violations by vessels transiting through.

An anti-ship cruise missile was launched at a cargo ship that turned off its tracking systems, reportedly resulting in damage.

In response to the Iranian anti-ship cruise missile strike on a cargo vessel, the U.S. has launched a large wave of airstrikes against Iran.

Airstrikes have been carried out on the cities of Bushehr, Konarak, Chabahar, Bandar Abbas, Bandar Kangan, Qeshm Island, Jask, and Minab.
