Why does Mango get a free pass with the C word in this thread???

It's a fake tribute. He's making it really clear who the new boss is.

I wonder why China hasnt congratulated Mojtaba Khamenei for getting elected the supreme leader yet. Kinda odd that they are holding off.

Nothing strange nor holding off anything. Chinese president only congratulate a head of state, Chinese premier only congratulate another head of government, CCP chairman only contratulate head of a party which has party-to-party relationship. China NEVER does anything other than that regardless who weld the real power. China is extremely formal and strict regarding inter-state protocals.

meanwhile IRGC PR:
Iran says any Arab or European country that expels Israeli and US ambassadors will get free passage through the Strait of Hormuz starting tomorrow.

Reuters: US soldiers transferred to hospitals in Manama after a direct attack inside one of the towers in Bahrain

Yeah Iran doing these hotel strikes is more targeted, they got some intel.

Israel's Channel 12: Within an hour and a half, 30 missiles were fired from Lebanon and Iran towards northern Israel

Barak Ravid CNN : Lebanese Army Chief of Staff General Rudolf Heikal strongly opposes government pressure against Hezbollah and has refused to send his forces to confront the group as long as the fighting continues, according to sources.
Heikal's stance has led to tensions between him and Prime Minister Salam and pressure from Democrats and Republicans in Washington for President Awun to resign.

This was the best moment of the briefing, He early claimed that Iran bombed itself using tomahawks that they have,
Then ONE GOOD REPORTER, DOING THEIR JOB of asking a more direct challenging question and TRUMP JUST BACKS OFF AND SAYS

"Because I dont know"

Was waiting for him to say, "you know, Chyna buys a lot of our Tomahawks, its a very good weapon, one of the best, and I would love for them to buy some more... and President Putin called me personally about buying our Tomahawks.."

Was waiting for him to say, "you know, Chyna buys a lot of our Tomahawks, its a very good weapon, one of the best, and I would love for them to buy even more... and Putin called me personally and he asked for Tomahawks.."

Hell, the Americans kicked Biden out because he was old, senile, and slow... only to replace him with another man who was also old and senile, but also high on drugs.

Would he blow a gasket once he finds out that a lot of them identify as Chinese?

Hey Iran is using an interesting weapon:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2031117578593092024

Fajr-5C 333mm guided heavy rocket, range now improved to 130km. To reach US bases in Kuwait requires about 120km range so this improved range version is capable and they're using it that way.

As Ayi points out, using heavy MLRS to suppress air bases is bit of a PLA style move. Also I suppose KPA would have plans to use their heavy MLRS this way too, they were probably the origin of this line of technology for Iran to start with.

Iranian cruise missile? Some people claim it to be stealthy but AFAIK from this picture, it doesn't seem to have known LO features.

Can’t tell if the rocket on the bottom is a missile or a booster for takeoff.
