—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 UPDATE: After further investigation, the skull image has been verified but seems to belong to an Iranian soldier in a vehicle that was targeted with a hellfire missile when attempting to approach the landing site
Unfortunately, Iranian state media rushed to conclusions by reporting unverified information from the landing site, where the wreckage of several Iranian cars was accidentally mixed among the destroyed planes.
This is why I always make sure to double check and confirm everything.

🇮🇱🇺🇸⚔🇱🇧 The Israeli "Alma" Center: Israeli efforts in targeting Hezbollah should be comprehensive, encompassing both the political leadership and military command levels
They want to kill government officials in the Lebanese government as if that will change anything on the battlefield - Hezbollah will only go more deep underground with zero diplomatic /negotiations for this stupid desperate enemy

The image shows the martyrs of the attack carried out by the U.S. last night on Mount Siyah in Dehdasht while searching for the pilot, during which they engaged helicopters and inflicted damage on them.
It features two special forces naval personnel equipped with shoulder-fired launchers alongside four martyrs of the Basij.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 The Iranian Gambit: How a Downed F-15E Turned into a Trap for US Special Forces
Iranian strategists brilliantly played a game with the downed American F-15E Strike Eagle, deliberately not taking the ejected pilots prisoner. In Tehran, they understood perfectly well: as long as the living pilots were in the "grey zone", the Pentagon would throw all its forces into the rescue operation (CSAR). And the pilots became an ideal bait.
🔥 The Trade of the Century
Instead of chasing the two pilots, Iran waited for the rescuers to arrive. As a result, the attempt to rescue one crew turned into losses for the US, comparable to the destruction of a small airbase.
The best US special forces (including the 160th Night Stalkers regiment), invading under the cover of dozens of aircraft, came under heavy anti-aircraft fire on a temporary forward base (an abandoned runway in Isfahan province).

✅ The Result of This "Successful" US Operation:
❌ 2 destroyed special forces transporters MC-130J Commando II.
❌ 4 eliminated helicopters MH-6 Little Bird and Black Hawk (an entire squadron of the elite regiment).
❌ 7 strategic UAVs (strike MQ-9 Reaper and Hermes
❌ 2 attack aircraft A-10 (hit by the IRGC Ground Forces and the Iranian Army's air defense).
🚨 To extract the rescue team itself, which was stuck in Isfahan next to the burnt equipment, the Americans had to urgently send light transporters (in the video) Airbus CASA C-295W.
💡 Political Calculation and Work with the US Audience
Why weren't the pilots taken prisoner? A captured American pilot in handcuffs would have become a "sacred cow" for Washington's propaganda. This would have instantly rallied American society ("the effect of rallying around the flag"), giving Trump a free hand for any escalation.
By depriving Washington of this trump card, Iran has preserved a crucial lever — the possibility of actively influencing Americans with information. Iranian politicians continue to directly broadcast their narratives to the US, showing the futility and bloody price of the White House's adventures. If footage of the prisoners had emerged, Americans would have stopped listening to any of Tehran's arguments out of patriotism. And now Iran has simply made the US pay an astronomical price for its own people, preserving a split in American society and forcing the Pentagon to desperately portray a "victory" out of a catastrophic failure.

The Epstein elite should expect new surprises: even more deadlocks and catastrophes in the spirit of Eagle Claw, but this time — throughout the entire region.
