🇮🇷🇰🇼🇺🇸| WATCH: American army soldier filmed moment when an Iranian Shahed-136 hit a radome tower at a US military base in Ali Al Salem AirBase in Kuwait.
This confirms that American soldiers are still present inside the bases in large numbers and that the US casualty number is higher.

The first one was deleted?
Is there isn’t anything in hours of this created im kinda confused about lack of anything on this thread
No, it is still there.
As for this new thread, I assume this one was created because the other thread is already too big: 1013 comments and it lasted 6 days!
yes; it probably would’ve been fine, but the replies were being collapsed and we figured we’d at least stop your inbox from being further flooded
Jeje, I don’t mind my inbox being flooded with notifications.
However, I do see as a great initiative from the admins to weekly make a separate Megathread of the war. That way we can keep content fresh according to the week it happened. The other thread was already over 1k comments and sorting through information and discussions was already hard.
Hey @GrainEater, should probably pin this, or edit the original post to include the link.
Someone should lock the other post and pin a comment with a link to this post aswell, otherwise people will keep on posting there.
Israeli i24 journalist:
“Pay attention to the number of interceptors that were launched just from the Kiryat Shmona area…
Today, Hezbollah launched the highest number of rockets since the start of the war. It’s hitting our IDF forces at military outposts, and on the other hand, our responses, especially today, are limited.”

Ukraine used 700 patriot missiles since the beginning of the year. 2 days ago I posted another estimate that Gulf countries have collectively used 800, plus at least another 800 by Israel and US. (https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10864542/7848443)
🇺🇦🇺🇸Over the three months of winter, Ukraine used 700 anti-aircraft missiles for the Patriot system. This is the same amount that the US and its allies spent on missiles during several days of war with Iran, which jeopardizes new deliveries to Kiev, said European Commissioner for Defense Andrius Kubilius.
According to him, Ukraine needed about 700 PAC-3 interceptor missiles for Patriot during the winter, while the American manufacturer Lockheed Martin was only able to produce 600 such missiles for the entire 2025 year. The large consumption of interceptor missiles is also due to the fact that Russia carried out more than 2,000 missile strikes on Ukraine during the entire 2025 year, and several anti-aircraft missiles are needed to intercept a ballistic missile.
“The Americans will not be able to provide a sufficient number of these missiles for the Gulf countries, for their own army, and for Ukraine. The situation is really critical. We need to urgently and quickly increase the production of missiles,” said Kubilius.
Therefore, Ukraine has so far used up as much missiles as will be produced this year. All anti-air missiles used against Iran are coming out of the US strategic reserves. After a week of fighting we have seen about 2000 missiles (at least 1600 up to last Wednesday) used against Iran. Meanwhile, Ukraine is expected to use another 2000 missiles this year (700 in 3 months so far => 700 x 3 trimesters = 2100). The Europeans have already given most of their anti-air missile stocks to Ukraine, with the promise that they will be rearmed as soon as possible. We can expect at least a few thousands of missiles being earmarked for European arsenals (but will likely be moved down the priority list, whatever that means for European diplomatic relations with the US).
Hence, Patriot missiles are most likely running low. It is unlikely the US can sustain this for more than 1-2 weeks. Most likely deliveries of missiles will stop in this order: Europe (not in direct conflict with anyone), Ukraine (Trump doesn’t care, but the Ukrainians did announce they agreed to exchange anti-drone technology for more missiles), Gulf states (comments by Hegseth and others keep praising Israel as a worthy and equal ally, but say nothing of their Arab friends, as if implying they deem them useless), USA (already seems to have accepted that its bases will either be destroyed by Iran or protected by Gulf states). Israel will likely maintain priority of deliveries, even at the cost of US air defense.
Meanwhile the Gulf states seem to be angry at the US for their situation. Analysts speculate that missile deliveries to Israel seem to already take priority over the Emirates.
🇺🇸🇮🇶🇮🇷| NEW: Drone images show the compound housing offices and warehouses used by US Halliburton company completely destroyed by Iranian drone attacks in Basra, Iraq.
@FotrosResistancee
Warms my heart to finally see Halliburton suffer consequences.
🇮🇷| Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya (Armed Forces) Spox:
The Islamic Republic of Iran respects the interests and national sovereignty of neighboring countries and, up to now, has committed no aggression against them.
Anywhere that serves as the source of aggression against Iran is a legitimate target, and in the face of the United States and the Zionist regime, there will be absolutely no retreat.
Countries that have not provided airspace or facilities to the United States and the Zionist regime have not been our target up to this moment, and will not be our target going forward either (Azerbaijan, Oman & Turkey).
However, all bases that serve as the point of origin for aggression against dear Iran will, as before, be struck heavily on land, at sea, and in the air (Persian Gulf countries).
We say this explicitly: we strike them and destroy them so that it may serve as a lesson to anyone who dares aggress against our nation.
And know this: From now on, anything built again in the name of the enemy, similar to these bases, facilities, and equipment, will be destroyed again and again with crushing blows.
The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly welcomes the escorting of oil tankers and the claim of an American military presence for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and we are definitely waiting for them…
We recommend that before making any decision, the Americans remember the burning of the supertanker Bridgeton in 1987, and the tankers that were recently targeted.
In this battle, after making a vertical entry into the region, there is no guarantee that your exit will also be vertical.
The same applies to your ships, with this difference: you may intend to enter afloat, but it is far from impossible that you will go down vertically to the bottom of the Persian Gulf…
(Speaks english) A reminder to the corrupted Island-man: The ground and the map of the war are in our hands. This will continue…
@FotrosResistancee
Iran is going to be known as the place soldiers enter vertically but can only exit horizontally.
In this battle, after making a vertical entry into the region, there is no guarantee that your exit will also be vertical.
Took me a second to get, but damn that’s good.
Bro, why are they lowkey spitting bars?
A reminder to the corrupted Island-man
Is this Bahrain?
There are some fucking bars in there
🇮🇷🇺🇸| CENTCOM announces the death of a 7th US soldier in Saudi Arabia.
PS: I was the first who covered this news this morning, before CENTCOM acknowledged it.
It’s possible that after we brought attention to his death, amplified by others, CENTCOM was forced to announce his death.
@FotrosResistancee
Iran’s regime vs the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the same paragraph lmao.
🇮🇱🇮🇷| An academic inside Israel debunks the lies of the IDF claiming Iranian missiles hit “open area” and says they impact.
“Just had an Iranian missile barrage land in Israel… then you see images from hits in Tel Aviv suburbs.”
🇮🇷🇮🇶🇺🇸| An Iraqi source told Farsnews that an Iranian drone hit and disabled a major vital US radar at al-Harir air base in Iraq last night.
The radar reportedly burned for over an hour. The source says the drone seemed to be from a new generation Iranian drones.
Hitting this radar damages US early-warning system at the base.
@FotrosResistancee
Dawg, what do these new Gen drones do? 💀
To make the empire suffer. 🥰
I might’ve an idea: They explode
🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷— NEW | Sayyid Sistani has announced “Sufficiency Jihad” (Jihad al-Kifa’i) in Iran to encourage public participation in supporting the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Sufficiency Jihad includes any collective defensive action or protection of society and religion.
Kifai obligation or duty (Wojoob Kifai) is the duty which, if performed by a sufficient number of Muslims to achieve the purpose (such as protecting the country or repelling aggression or in this case participation in Pro-Iran gatherings), absolves the rest of the responsibility on other people.

🇮🇷 — Here’s the Question and Answer:
Given the current sensitive circumstances and the society’s dire need for maximum presence and public solidarity in the field; and in order to prevent the sedition of rioters seeking to create despair and frustration among the people, weaken religious beliefs, promote moral decay and corruption, and engage in killing, looting, sabotage of public property, and chaos; as well as the enemies’ conspiracies to partition Iran and overthrow the Islamic system—I feel a religious duty (Taklif Shar’i) regarding the necessity of being present in mosques, streets, and public places to declare a stance, support the aspirations of the Islamic Revolution, and thwart the enemies.
Question 1: Is the aforementioned presence a religious obligation for me and those like me?
Answer: Under the premise of the question, presence and participation are a collective obligation (Wajib Kifa’i) to the extent required.
⚜️@TheSimurgh313
🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷 — Just to clarify | The fatwa mentioned in the answer of Sayyed Sistani is clear. It mentions the collective obligation to prevent discord in Iran against the enemy.
This means it is forbidden to sow division and weaken the Republic’s position vis-à-vis America.
That’s what the term jihad we mentioned means in itself. It’s struggling in that way to prevent discord.

Context I Can Provide
Basically, every Shia Muslim is required to pick a Marja to follow for religious affairs, I myself use to pick Sistani as my Marja and still use his discretion on religious interactions in my daily life, like for example determine what foods are Halal or Haraam. The point of the Marja system is essentially for Shia Muslims to follow who they view as “the most learned” scholar on theological matters.
For those unaware, Sayyid Sistani is probably the most widely followed Marja (scholar) in the Shia faith. He’s the disciple of Ayotallah Khoe before him, who was suppressed by Sadaam. Sistani could honestly be credited in large part to the eradication of Daesh in Iraq after he issued a Fatwa calling for people to fight against Deash. That fatwa managed to rally a large portion of the Iraqi public, shiite or not even, into organizing against Deash.
The statement is much softer than others calling for Jihad against the US and Israel, however that’s to be expected as Sistani actively argues for the separation of politics and religion (in contrast to the Iranian position of Wilyat Al-Faqi, which Khomeini argued for.)
To put it short, this is an extremely massive statement.
Thank you for the info and extra context on it. Really interesting!
🇮🇷| GREAT NEWS
Iran will confiscate assets of diaspora Iranians guilty of actively cooperating with Israel/US.
@FotrosResistancee
Finally! Now if only the Russian government would stop being such bleeding heart liberals and take the same steps with Russian traitors.
This will be the litmus test of whoever takes over for Putin.
Expropriation time!
🇮🇷🇺🇸| MORE US soldiers deaths that CENTCOM is being silent about.
An American soldier, US Marine Corps Lance Corporal Kevin Melendez, has died in Saudi Arabia allegedly in a “non-hostile” incident.
Like Iran’s top security official, Ali Larijani, had said, the US is gradually announcing US soldier deaths due to “accidents”.
@FotrosResistancee
It grinds my gears when i see idiot latinos joining the american army.
Some of them are there because of the poverty draft. Not an excuse, but the perceived stability the military offers is a real factor.
A lot of them are also there because they want to be
Call of Duty generation.
Fuck em, there is no worse cop than a 2nd/3rd gen latino.
Usually the Grunts in every military are people drafted from the poorest social classes, the ones that have little to lose.

They are not, that is a myth.
🇮🇷🇮🇱| Cluster warhead missile towards Tel Aviv
@FotrosResistancee
Video shows an Iranian missile splitting into around 20 cluster missiles close to the ground. The video shows no interceptors flying, indicating that either Israeli air defense was overwhelmed/blind/exhausted at that moment, or that Israelis consider it futile to intercept these cluster warheads, as it would take too many interceptors and some missiles would still get through.
Im going to guess blind as there are no raid sirens either. Historically these videos have had sirens
I would guess so. Other videos that seem closer to Tel Aviv also have no sirens.
🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Israeli media reports that forty missiles were launched from Lebanon towards Haifa.
⚜️@TheSimurgh313
Simultaneously, Hezbollah executed its own (conventional) missile attack on Haifa. This video shows 4 Hezbollah missiles (I assume so, because of their direction) and 6 Israeli interceptor missiles. The 4 visible Hezbollah missiles seem to pass by unmolested. The interceptors either explode in the air or intercept missiles that were not visible (due to clouds?).
These aren’t “cluster munitions” These are MIRVs (multiple independent reentry vehicles)
If they have a fatwa against building a Nuke because it would cause too much civilian damage you know they aren’t building cluster bombs.
