Some predictions- Hegseth boasted that '15,000' targets in Iran have been hit. It could be a flat-out lie as typical for this administration but post-Iraq War studies claim around 21,000 IIRC high precision munitions expended during the 2003 invasion. US claimed that the offensive operation was to be 5 weeks long- there is probably only 2-3 weeks of capability left and afterwards the US navy/airforce is probably out of the expensive and very slow to produce ammunition which take many years to replenish. Then ships & planes, operational-level drones etc need major refitting and mechanical overhaul. I suspect that America has already exhausted its best combat power and will be unable to fight such a high tech war for the rest of the Trump administration. This is when ground forces will have to be used since America would have exhausted its high precision munitions and anti-air defense already. An expeditionary force first, likely targets to secure the strait of Hormuz. Activation of the US army reserve etc, eventual deployment of US divisions into Iran to secure a beachhead into the country. This is when the real war, and disaster begins. The Iranians, after weakening the AA defense of GCC, US army bases and Israel, will have better penetration of air cover for their missiles/shaheeds and if there are massed ground forces, will start hunting down and killing US troops with never-ending FPV drones like the Ukrainians did in the initial period of the Ukraine war to embarrass the Russians. This will be spammed into social media, and while western outlets will try to censor it but over time the people will see it. Then Iranian counteroffensives on the ground to erase US penetrations into their country, a real bloodbath. It's going to be a sh*t show. Trump may get impeached.

Basically the lunatics in charge have already initiated the processes to deploy US ground forces in Iran. The Senator was not happy with the briefing..

- 5 more refueling aircraft losses from an Iranian missile strike at a US base in Saudi Arabia. -2,500 US marines are given to CENTCOM to perform ground operations in Iran. The nightmare/disaster begins........ -Hegseth claims that the new supreme leader is injured.

The new 'supreme leader' claimed that as this war develops, Iran will be opening "new fronts" of the operation..., including targeting the offices/facilities of US multinational corporations and banks (big tech, finance etc)

Ali Larijani, the head of the Iranian National Security Council

There are satellite images of US base destruction with missiles. Besides blowing up the radars they are going after American command posts, aircraft hangers, warehouses, barracks, drone storage facilities, fuel tanks The communiques of the IRGC are quite interesting- written in the apocalyptic language of a holy war against the Great Satan, the United States and its vassal state, Israel. CENTCOM published material showing the destruction of a Russian IL-76 heavy transport plane parked in Iran. Iran says that US-Israel attacked 24 hospitals.

The second KC-135 has a damaged tail section.
