Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

Coming back to the technical aspects of this war, this is something I did not expect. A multispectral camera based SHORAD complex

It's nothing new, it's what they worked on for years in Iraq, Yemen, by giving them to PKK in Syria and now in Iran. There's a reason why they are only successful on bringing down Reapers; they use EO based SAMs like the 358.

Sucks to be my ignorant ass lmao

But I stand by my point; we should be working on a resilient short range distributed air defense system that can be used to "switch" to asymmetrical air defense when it's needed. This can bring forth a lot of new possibilities/opportunities as well as being a pretty solid insurance against Israeli-evangelical bloodthirst.

On the downed F-15 pilots:

I read that most modern 2 seat fighters have an automated ejection sequence of rear seat ejection/sub 0.5 sec delay/ front seat ejection. Surely the two F-15 crewmen landed close to each other so no big aerial area search would be required to find the WSO?

All our systems already come with EO. Systems like 358 are cheap and somewhat mobile but there lies the issue. They are only good for drones and potshots against enemies of which you know their locations so you can ambush them. It's not a winning strategy; it's a hailmary. If you are down to that, you've already lost.

Poor F15 pilot, a victim off epstein files. Persians are hunting the guy down , if he can survive untill the morning it is a miracle.

Report that the downed WSO has been recovered

Orwell Prize-winning war correspondent Toby Harnden, on his part, reported that the missing F-15E weapons systems officer is safe and back in American hands.

Harnden, a former Royal Navy officer and author, who reported from 33 countries, including Baghdad and Jerusalem, for The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times, said in a statement on X that the WSO has been recovered alive.

Citing an officer involved in monitoring the rescue who reportedly described the ordeal, he reported that the missing American soldier vaded up a 7,000-foot ridge.

U.S. representative for Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district, Donald John Bacon, is among Republican politicians who have reacted to the reports.

The retired military officer said the “reports of the second USAF aircrew member rescued is an answer to all our prayers.”

“I honor the bravery of our search and rescue teams and our special forces. I hope no casualties. And, I salute the F-15E Weapon Systems Officer who put their survival skills to work in a very dangerous and harrowing situation,” Bacon posted.

USAF Pararescue are too elite, and managed to rescue the downed pilot deep inside Iran

"Hormuz is a weapon more powerful than nuclear weapons. Iran will not surrender it," American intelligence said.

Iran is unlikely to open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic anytime soon, as control over it is Tehran's only real leverage over the United States. This is the conclusion reached by American intelligence agencies.
According to American intelligence, Iranian authorities will block tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to maintain high global energy prices and thereby exert pressure on US President Donald Trump.

Intelligence reports, familiar to Reuters sources, also noted that Iran's influence in the region could increase as a result of this war, as Tehran has demonstrated its ability to jeopardize oil transportation.

In an address on April 1, Donald Trump said that the issue of regulating the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz should be taken on by the countries with the greatest interest in it, and the United States is only willing to assist them in this endeavor.

On April 3, Trump stated that the US needs a little more time and will be able to open it "without difficulty." The Strait of Hormuz, "to take the oil and make a fortune," Reuters recalls. However, experts interviewed by the agency noted that attempting to use force to open the Strait of Hormuz could lead to a prolonged war with Iran, which Trump expects to end in a matter of weeks.

"In an attempt to prevent Iran from developing weapons of mass destruction, the United States has given Iran weapons of mass destruction," Ali Vaez, director of the Iran project at the International Crisis Group, told Reuters. He believes Iranian authorities understand that the ability to control the global energy market by blocking the Strait of Hormuz is "far more powerful than even nuclear weapons."

US President Donald Trump reportedly threatened Iran with "real hell" within 48 hours if Tehran doesn't reach a deal or open the Strait of Hormuz."

A year ago, Europe begged the United States not to leave it alone in the face of the Russian threat. Trump responded by refusing to supply Ukraine with free weapons, declaring: "America is not threatened across the beautiful ocean. If you want, buy weapons from us with your own money and give them to Ukraine."
Now that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, Trump is appealing to his European allies for help, declaring: "America doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz. If you want the Strait of Hormuz, send your fleet and open it."
But Europe refuses to fight Iran.
Even Israel, the only remaining US ally, is unwilling to join the Americans in a ground operation in Iran.

And who needs a ground war?

Trump abandoned all his allies for Israel, and now he is left completely without allies.
It's quite possible that Trump will soon realize the quagmire Netanyahu has driven him into.

That's when the fun begins

It seems no amount of bombing will help the US, and the occupation of Iran's islands and coastal areas will only draw the Americans deeper into the Iranian quagmire.
Drop everything and run away, like they did from Afghanistan?!🫢

Yeah, you can't envy Trump.

Fox News can confirm that the 2nd crew member of the downed F15E fighter jet has been rescued and he and the members of the rescue team that extracted him from behind enemy lines in Iran are all safely out of Iran. That according to two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region. The Weapons Systems Officer ejected along with the pilot when their F15E Strike Eagle they were flying was struck Thursday night (early Friday local time) in southwest Iran.

The WSO used the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training to evade capture, hiding on an elevated ridge after hiking away from the wreckage and putting out an emergency beacon.) US Special Operations rescue forces to include PJs (United States Air Force Pararescuemen (PJs) and many layers of elite rescue forces took part in the complex, layered mission to both find the crew member and also keep the Iranian forces who were hunting the American weapons system operator at bay. There are videos that have appeared from local eyewitnesses that show what appear to have been injured and dead Iranian members of the IRGC and Basij who were looking for the downed American crew member. Fox has learned there was fighting on the ground but no Americans killed during the operation. “It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well placed source briefed on the operation told me. Many different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue.

Fox News can confirm the A10 Warthog that crashed Friday was involved in providing cover for the rescue teams searching for the pilot. That A10 crashed in Kuwait (first reported by ABC Friday) but the A10 pilot managed to eject safely and was rescued. There was destruction of aircraft which have sensitive equipment on board, I am told, all part of this complex CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) mission.

The F15E was pretty much destroyed on impact. Two rescue helicopters were hit by enemy fire on Friday and crew members onboard were injured by enemy fire but managed to make it out of Iran.

There were a lot of elements to this rescue, I am told.

If half of what's been written since last night is true then this is the greatest SOF raid of this century; god damn. Iranians are clueless. They brought in MH-6 Little Birds stuffed inside C-130s to use as fire support.

Yes, the world will watch movies of those who manage to pull off acts like that. Not many will remember the hundreds of school children (actually thousends with Gaza) they murdered.

They were killed by roadside IED. Only Hezbollah uses them in Lebanon. Will you apologize?

Peacekeepers killed by roadside explosion in Lebanon, initial report finds

The deaths of the two Indonesian nationals came less than a day after another UN peacekeeper - also Indonesian - was killed in Lebanon.

www.bbc.com

Doesn't prove anything. Just that it was a roadside bomb. It's not like the IDF dont know how to set up an IED.

It has nothing to do with elite, Iranian are weak. Look in this case ther would choppers and drones flying over the area with SIGINT equipments to locate the enemy. What wher the Persians doing? Local tribes searching for the enemy . Not even people from IRGC or the normal army.

They missed a big bargaing chip....

This is what happens when you lose air superiority. Iranian even not have enough MANPAD so in sparsely populated areas, there is space for special operations.
But that is not mean such of operation can be finished with no cost, US had lost two A-10, two C-130, two HH-60G and so on. And, they also claimed there were no casualties, but this is clearly not true.
How many times can they do such of action is a big question, Iranian is going to shot down more fighter in the future.

Satellite imaging company Planet Labs says it will indefinitely withhold Iran war imagery after a request from the Trump administration.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2040636007809204331

The limit to Satellite imaging company has less benefit to reduce Iran capability for target confirm, the mostly reason is to control OSINT and serving as propaganda to cover up battle damage.

literally no other country would be capable of flying in C-130s and setting FOB deep inside enemy territory to rescue a single pilot and then getting everyone out
