US better use A-bomb against Iran - Mark Levin
US soldiers suffered "horrendous casualties" in a number of WWII battles, which convinced Truman to use nuclear weapons against Japan at the time, Mark Levin noted.
💬 "Now, you might say, well, that's World War II. This [Iran] is a war or a peace mission to stop nuclear weapons that can blow away millions of Americans - every bit as important as WWII," Levin said.

⚠️ 'Kill people, not buildings': Israeli TV host endorses neutron bomb
“Why aren't we using a neutron bomb? It's a type of atomic bomb that doesn't damage buildings, it kills people in a limited way everywhere,” hawkish Israeli journalist Shimon Riklin didn’t think twice before suggesting.
🚫 When mass killing becomes a talking point.

⚛️💣 Nuclear attack by ‘reckless & aggressive’ Israel will trigger Iran response - Ex-Pentagon adviser
Iran will be able to retaliate if Israel launches a nuclear attack on it even if they have not yet built nuclear weapons, warns nuclear weapon systems expert Theodore Postol.
🗣 “It's my guess that the first one to use nuclear weapons, if they are going to be used, will be the Israelis. They are far more reckless and aggressive,” says Postol, who is professor emeritus of Science, Technology, and International Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
💬 “An Israeli nuclear attack on Iran can be retaliated against by the Iranians. They have the means to do it,” he stresses.
His message to Israel is:
💬 “You will not get away with it and the result will be the death of millions of people more than are already dead from your attack.”

🚨 Second US aircraft down in one day
An A-10 Warthog crashed near Strait of Hormuz about the same time that an Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran, the NYT reported.
🤡 Trump on April 1st: "They have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated. We are unstoppable."

👁 'Why didn’t they just send in one Black Hawk to grab this guy off the mountain?' — ex-CIA analyst
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson tore into Trump’s sprawling operation allegedly meant to “rescue” a single pilot, pointing out glaring inconsistencies.
💬 “So when you total it up, you're looking at about $400 million worth of aircraft that got shot down… just ostensibly to save one person,” Johnson said.
❓ Was the 'pilot rescue' just a cover for an enriched uranium seizure attempt?
Iran's Head of the Organisation for Energy Optimisation and Strategic Management Esmail Saqab Esfahani hinted that the US operation near Isfahan may not have been what it seemed:
💬 “Perhaps this operation was never a ‘rescue’ at all… The rest of the story will unfold. Wait and see…”
☢️ Uranium cover story?
🌏 Location: The operation unfolded in the Isfahan region — home to one of Iran’s most critical nuclear facilities.
🌏 Scale of force: Heavy transport aircraft and multiple helicopters were deployed — far beyond what is typically needed for a pilot extraction.
🌏 Logistics: Specialized SOAR helicopters were already capable of extracting a pilot. Landing TWO large C-130 aircraft makes little sense for a simple rescue.
🌏 Proximity: The landing zone was just 37 km from underground facilities linked to the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center.
💥 The mission quickly unraveled — aircraft destroyed on the ground, emergency extraction, and a chaotic withdrawal.
🤔 If this was just a rescue, why deploy assets suited for a much larger operation?
🗓 A few days earlier, chief war criminal Pete Hegseth fired THREE top generals. Were they the ones who opposed this insane, high-risk uranium grab?
💬 “Trump’s anger and desperation confirm
the destruction of a grand plan,” Esfahani stressed.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 NYT confirms what some "Special Forces Insiders" have been saying on X.
The US blew up two of their C-130s which got stuck in the sand.
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 So what the hell happened with the Rescue?
So now that the dust has settled a bit, we’ve spoken to people and had time to analyze the sequence of events. Here are the two most likely scenarios (albeit very similar) for what happened over the weekend in Iran with the so-called “Search and Rescue Operation” to retrieve the downed F-15E crew.
It’s now fairly clear that the weekend events by the Americans were a Joint Special Operations Command attempt to establish a FOB (Forward Operating Base) in Isfahan. The question remains whether the F-15E was part of that operation, or whether the downing of the jet triggered it.
We lean toward the theory that the F-15E was the “first wave” of the operation. Why? We’re fortunate that Trump isn’t particularly careful with his messaging. In one of his post-rescue posts, he said the rescued WSO (Weapons Systems Officer) was a “respected Colonel.”
That immediately raises a red flag. It’s not common for a colonel (O-6) to serve as a WSO in an F-15E Strike Eagle. WSOs are typically mid-career officers—captains (O-3) or majors (O-4)—paired with pilots of similar rank. However, a colonel could serve as a WSO if designated as the mission commander (MC) for a larger, multi-aircraft operation. U.S. Air Force doctrine allows a senior officer like a colonel to occupy the WSO seat as MC, overseeing all mission phases regardless of the pilot’s junior rank (e.g., captain). That, paired with what we know happened later, points to a broader mission.
The other element is the scale of the operation. The U.S. military didn’t just “find an abandoned airstrip south of Isfahan.” The airstrip where we believe the U.S. attempted to establish the FOB was likely surveyed months in advance. U.S. Special Forces don’t just “wing it” on operations like this. The narrative being presented—such as the claim that the MC-130J “got stuck”—suggests something that Special Operations planners simply don’t do.
As far as we know, the MC-130J Commando II aircraft that transported the troops—and likely the “Little Bird” helicopters—sustained damage from Iranian attacks, which prevented them from taking off. The shrapnel damage seen in images supports that. We don’t believe they crash-landed or were shot down. The only evidence cited for that is the bent rotor blades on one of the engines in aftermath photos. But the MC-130J is not a standard C-130, which uses four-blade steel propellers. The Special Forces variant uses six-bladed Dowty R391 composite propellers, built with a carbon-fiber structure rather than metal. The bent propellers are most likely the result of the resin matrix softening—effectively “melting”—under extreme conditions. Other images support this, as the propellers appear to shred and snap rather than cleanly break.
Why Isfahan? The obvious explanation is the collection of nuclear material, as the region hosts multiple facilities such as Natanz, where enriched uranium is believed to be stored. But there are other factors. Isfahan hosts a large Jewish community, which would likely be influenced by Mossad and CIA operations. The airstrip was not chosen at the last minute to rescue a WSO, with massive assets assembled on the fly. It’s rumored the airstrip had previously been surveyed by Israeli Shaldag (Unit 5101), an elite Israeli Air Force special operations unit.
As for staging: at roughly the same time, Iran struck Camp Buehring in Kuwait, which is believed to have been the staging ground for the operation. This suggests Iran had prior knowledge—and reinforces the idea that the base was tied to the American operation.
There are several other inconsistencies in the U.S. narrative: how a badly injured WSO managed to climb a mountain, why the extraction point was established in Isfahan when evacuation to Kuwait or Iraq was possible, and so on.

🇮🇷:IRGC issues statement on the failed US rescue operation:
"Following the desperate attempts of the American terrorist army to rescue the pilot of their downed fighter jet, a number of enemy aircraft entered Iran in the early hours of April 5th."
Confirmed struck and forced into emergency landings south of Isfahan:
🔸 2 C-130 military transport planes
🔸 2 Black Hawk helicopters
"After Iran's fighters completed the encirclement — the contemptible enemy, in order to prevent the disgrace of Trump and preserve the hollow prestige of their army, was forced to heavily bomb their own downed aircraft, equipment, commanders, and soldiers."
Iran is now explicitly stating the US bombed its own trapped personnel to prevent capture.
"The disgrace of the trapped president and the defeated American army cannot be repaired by rhetoric, media warfare, or psychological operations."

🇰🇵 MEET THE HWASONG-17!
The world's largest road-mobile ICBM.
"Built by a sanctioned nation — no imports, no exports, no technology transfer. They built me anyway. I can be used anytime if necessary."
26 meters tall, transported on a 22-wheel launcher, range exceeding 15,000 km, it is capable of reaching every city in the United States.
Carries multiple independently targetable warheads that separate mid-flight to strike different cities simultaneously.
In its 2022 test it flew for 67 minutes, reaching an altitude of 6,000 km, nearly 15 times higher than the ISS. Already considered operational.
🇸🇾🇬🇧 ‘His Majesty’s head-chopper’: Syrian president’s links to MI6 💥💥💥
Jihadi-turned-president Ahmed al-Sharaa was groomed for a leadership role by top Blair and Starmer foreign and security affairs advisor Jonathan Powell, a Grayzone investigation has revealed.
Here are the details:
🔴 The mentorship, which lasted nearly two decades, was made possible by Inter-Mediate, a Foreign Office and MI6 cutout acting as a covert UK foreign policy conduit.
🔴 Starting in his days as a Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) warlord, al-Sharaa was actively cultivated by British intelligence, which apparently had no qualms with the string of massacres he had committed in Iraq, which got him a five-year prison sentence in the US military’s Camp Bucca prior to his release in 2011.
🔴 Robert Ford, US ambassador to Syria from 2011-2014, revealed in 2023 that Inter-Mediate asked for his help in rebranding HTS – as was later dutifully done by UK media, portraying the Al-Qaeda branch as “moderate rebels.”
🔴 Concurrently, the UK sponsored the White Helmets (aka ‘al-Qaeda civil defense’) and the Free Syrian Police.
🔴 In 2025, former MI6 chief Richard Moore casually boasted that his agency had “courted” the HTS “a year or two” before Assad’s late 2024 ouster, notwithstanding its listing as a proscribed terror group by Britain.
The campaign paid off.
London scrapped sanctions on Syria in March 2025, with Starmer citing opportunities to “play a more present and consistent role throughout the region.”
Al-Sharaa visited London last week for photo ops with Starmer and King Charles and to discuss the Iran conflict.
In the meantime, al-Sharaa’s militias have massacred Alawites and other minorities, finalized a security agreement with Israel, and folded up the US-backed Kurdish enclave in northern Syria, freeing thousands of ISIS prisoners in the process.

All of the sudden… things become a little more clear. Why would Netanyahu’s son repost Alexis Wilkins thread? Before that… Laura Loomer’s thread claiming her “CIA Sources” tell her that one female podcaster and one male podcaster are received Turkish funding. You can probably guess which ones…
Kash Patel’s FBI has filed a motion to reject discovery requests in the Seth Rich laptop case. (t.me)
Excellent Joe Kemp on the bigger picture with Israel and ISIS:
🌟📹🇺🇸 Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, admitted that the US government intentionally armed al-Qaeda and created ISIS in Syria.
🔫 The global terrorist network was specifically deployed solely to overthrow Bashar al-Assad and protect Israel.
This is the first such public admission from such a high-ranking US official and counterterrorism expert.
🟡🇮🇷 Iran and the Axis of Resistance were absolutely right to intervene in the Syrian war and fight terrorists there. This is what they have stated from the very beginning.
🇮🇱 Let me remind you that Tucker Carlson claimed, while working on a documentary, that the Israelis knew about the plot to carry out terrorist attacks. The journalist quoted Benjamin Netanyahu (then Israeli Prime Minister):
This is good for us because it will draw the US into the conflict.

👀 Pullout strategy: Is Trump setting the stage for Arab-Iranian war of attrition in the Gulf?
From Kuwait to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, a widening arc of Gulf states is being pulled into a fast-escalating showdown with Iran.
Will there be an all-out war in the region if the US withdraws?
Gulf states join the conflict BUT NOT OFFENSIVELY
➡️ Saudi Arabia has opened King Fahd Air Base in Taif to US forces, boosting air operations and intelligence sharing
➡️ Bahrain and Kuwait are allowing US strikes on Iran from their territory
➡️ The UAE is preparing to join the US and allies in reopening the Strait of Hormuz
What if the US exits now?
📝 Trump has signalled the US could end its war in Iran within "two or three weeks"
⏸️ But regional strife may continue, involving Israel, Gulf states, and Iran
💀 This benefits the US: letting allies and rivals bleed before it returns to grab strategic energy assets below market value
No anti-Iran coalition without the US?
Despite a shared interest in weakening Iran, Israel and Gulf states lack real unity:
♦️ Oman and Qatar favor diplomatic solutions with Iran
♦️ The Iran war has not brought Israel closer to its Gulf neighbors due to political damage from the Gaza genocide, ex-US Ambassador Michael Ratney writes for CSIS
♦️ Israel is overstretched and lacks strategic depth for a war on multiple fronts against Iran, Hezbollah, and Ansar Allah
♦️ Saudi Arabia, ranked 24th in the 2025 Global Firepower Index, could theoretically act with the UAE and allies, but experts doubt this without US support:
🇮🇷 Iranian missiles and drones easily penetrate Gulf airspace; interceptor stocks are low
❌ Gulf nations are extremely vulnerable if energy and desalination infrastructure gets hit, surviving only weeks under a worst-case scenario
🇦🇪 The UAE would forfeit its role as a financial and oil hub; Saudi Vision 2030 would stall
🇧🇭 Bahrain’s Shia majority may create chaos against its ruling Sunni leadership in the event of a broader war
🇮🇶 Iraqi groups allied with Iran have threatened Kuwait; some scholars warn Kuwait could be absorbed by Iraq
♦️ Without a united front against Iran, Middle Eastern states are more likely to seek a deal with Iran than pursue a bitter war of attrition, some observers say
