REPORT: ISRAEL RAISES ALERT LEVEL AMID ASSESSMENT U.S. STRIKE ON IRAN MAY BE NEARING
An Israeli source told N12 that Israel has raised its alert level as officials assess that the United States may be moving closer to a significant strike on Iran.
According to the source, President Trump is “closer than ever” to ordering a major attack, though no decision is certain.
The source described regional tensions as being at their highest point, with the situation potentially nearing a major escalation.

I assume we were waiting for them to receive the 300-400 manpads from China. reminder that we have not stopped air traffic into Iran.

NEW: CENTCOM plans to establish Task Force Falcon Strike, its first multinational, multi-domain attack-drone force, bringing together U.S. and regional personnel to operate one-way attack drones in the air, on the surface and underwater.
The initiative builds on Task Force Scorpion Strike, whose drones have already been used against Iran.

Or it could just be a fricking plane. Propaganda is so next level in the twitter world.

USA Lost 25% of Its MQ-9 Drone Fleet Due to War with Iran
The U.S. Air Force has lost about a quarter of its entire fleet of MQ-9 Reaper drones due to the war with Iran.
According to The Washington Post, approximately 45 drones were destroyed.
This represents about 25% of the entire U.S. fleet of these UAVs, which numbered approximately 185 units before the conflict began.
The losses resulted from the intensive use of Reapers over Iran and near the Strait of Hormuz. Due to these losses, the U.S. even resorted to purchasing remaining MQ-9 Reapers from General Atomics’ stockpiles.
Iran’s air defense system has become the main challenge for the Reaper. Due to their low speed and flights at relatively low altitudes, these drones proved vulnerable to air defense systems.
Some of the drones were destroyed not in the air, but at U.S. military bases during Iranian strikes.
According to The Washington Post, a single MQ-9 Reaper system can cost up to $50 million, meaning losses have already exceeded $1.3 billion.

This is why you don't see large expensive multi use drones in the Russian/Ukraine war. They were used early on until AA started feasting on them.

SEC BESSENT: “MEASURES LIKE HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. will impose unprecedented economic pressure on Iran.
“Watch this space for more announcements coming next week…”
“It will be a combination of economic isolation like the world has never seen before, and the continued blockade in the Strait of Hormuz…”
