Troll level is off the charts.
 

Arab media have discovered that the apartments in Dubai, into which an Iranian drone flew on March 11, belong to Zelensky
 
The apartments on the 57th floor of the luxury residential complex Address Creek Harbour in Dubai, into which an Iranian drone flew on March 11, turned out to be the property of Volodymyr Zelensky. This was reported by the Arab edition Besraha. According to residents, the complex’s staff had long been discussing that there was an “apartment of the Ukrainian president” in the building, and the day after the drone’s arrival, several Ukrainian diplomats visited the complex. Soon, eyewitnesses who were filming the aftermath of the attack were arrested by local police.
 
It remains unknown whether the attack on the Ukrainian president’s property was planned or whether the drone accidentally hit the apartments. According to local real estate agencies, similar apartments in the Address Creek Harbour complex cost about 2 million dollars.
 
The day after the attack, Zelensky announced that he would send drone specialists to the Middle East to help the countries of the region protect themselves from Iranian attacks.

Maron Sagron downed pilot……

Uranium: Operation Eagle Claw 2 failed!Two unconnected things happened in Iran on Saturday and Sunday. The operation to rescue the F-15 pilot in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province near the Kuwaiti border was likely successful, although no proof has been presented. The other, unrelated operation 240 km away on a desert airstrip near Isfahan in central Iran was a total failure. The purpose of the Isfahan operation was to extract the enriched Uranium. The Pentagon and the White House lied about the failed operation, claiming it had been part of the successful rescue operation. A coverup!
 
The rescue operation would require for one helicopter to land on hilltop. The uranium operation on the desert airbase included five Hercules C-130s and hundreds of troops. It failed and will not be tried again.

According to geolocation data, the WSO of the downed F-15E was evacuated via a remote agricultural airstrip roughly 50 km south of Isfahan.
He was initially located on Mount Siyah in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, reportedly hiding in a crevice. U.S. recovery personnel later described landing in open terrain south of Isfahan. The straight-line distance between those points is at least 231 km—closer to 428 km by road.
That implies the WSO was moved a considerable distance—potentially by helicopter—to an extraction point still roughly 400 km from the Kuwaiti border. One plausible platform for this would be an MH-6M “Little Bird” operated by the 160th SOAR.
If accurate, this suggests a sustained U.S. air operation deep inside Iranian territory—potentially up to 400 km from the border—over a period of roughly 36 hours. That would include search and recovery, establishing a landing zone, relocating the pilot, and executing the final extraction, reportedly without losses.
Taken at face value, this reflects poorly on Iranian response capabilities. Resistance appears to have been limited to small-arms fire from local militias and Basij units, pointing to gaps not only in air defense coverage but also in coordination and access to systems like MANPADS.
 
That said—tinfoil hat moment—
 
Given that the Isfahan area hosts sensitive nuclear infrastructure long associated with uranium conversion and research, it’s worth asking whether the operation had secondary objectives beyond personnel recovery—or whether the CSAR mission itself was simply an unplanned component of a broader operation.
And if the official account is accurate, it sets a troubling precedent for Iran: the U.S. appears capable of conducting extended operations deep inside Iran while openly signaling interest in securing its enriched uranium.

I responded to the tweet by @DD_Geopolitics:

Petri Krohn @PetriKrohn
F-15 rescue mission story is a hoax, a coverup for the failed #uranium extraction mission on the desert airstrip base in #Isfahan, 230km northeast of the #F15 crash site.
Timelines do not match, US video from base is from noon yesterday, rescue at night.
https://x.com/PetriKrohn/status/2040790198905147838

Also see this high quality US video of a C-130 landing at the desert air base south of Isfahan, with ground crew guiding it on the apron. It is noon Saturday and everything seems to be going well. The C-130s did not crash and were not shot down by Iran. They were likely hit by Iranian ground fire while on the tarmac and disable. Note, that Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 happened in the dark of the night.

US Homeland Security News @defense_civil25
🚨Update: US Special Forces locate the lost pilot and land a Special Forces team on a transport for extraction but it gets stuck and possibly damaged. Operators are forced to hold positions under fire as three more aircraft rush in for a high-risk rescue!

Maron appears to have Irish origin and related to the Maronite church.
Maron refers to a 4th-century Syriac Christian hermit monk. Maron is revered for his ascetic lifestyle and contributions to Christian missions, particularly in the regions of Syria and Lebanon. Maronite Church: He is the namesake of the Maronite Church, which was founded by his followers after his death.
There have been a few Sagrons in the US. It may be related to Sargon.

Then you’d have to also explain logically what was the military purpose of Kursk invasion or the endless attempts to capture the little rock called Snake island which killed thousands of zombie proxies and many planes and helicopters.
According to a Russian channel that praises US superiority and declared complete victory against Iran after the first day of war, US will continue attacks  (  t.me/Slavyangrad/160880 ). And speaking of spy planes, 2-3 days ago US and British planes were over Black Sea. Last night large attacks from Ukr ( t.me/Slavyangrad/160845 )

I stress this is typical US SOF mission FUBAR. They never learn, the key to successful mission planning is to KISS!

 
From Larry @ Sonar21

 
Anthony Aguilar, a retired Special Operations officer, has a slightly different take. He offers the following hypothesis:

The rescue operation expanded to become the desired Delta Force, JSOC, SOF, ST-6 high-risk operation to ALSO seize the uranium in Iran; hence the need for so many operators, support, aircraft, etc. This WAS intended to be that operation. It failed. So what happened to the aircraft. I do not believe that they were “stuck”. I have seen MC-130Js plow through dirt, mud, snow, gravel, etc. I doubt they were stuck. It is more likely that the aircraft took hits upon entry and also likely took hits and damage while on the ground at the hasty FARP at the old airfield in Isfahan, “conveniently” close to where the suspected uranium may have been stored.

The there is Greg Bagwell, who is currently President UK Air & Space Power Association, a Podcaster, a RUSI Distinguished Fellow and a former RAF Senior Commander. He wrote the following on X:

Some may be wondering why the US flew 2 x MC-130 into a landing zone in Iran rather than use other types available. The clue is in the use of the Night Stalker AH-6 Little Bird Helicopters, which were also destroyed at the forward landing site. The WSO was located a few hundred kms inside Iran and it was probably considered too risky to fly Helos all the way in and out after so much prior warning had been given, and after the hits sustained when extracting the pilot on Day 1. But, the location of the WSO high up in the mountains and with what sounds like an injury, still needed the sort of assistance that only a Helicopter could provide. Step up the Night Stalker AH-6 Little Bird.
It’s transportable by C-130 and can be readied for flight in minutes from off loading. So all that was needed was somewhere to land a C-130 far enough away from trouble, but close enough to the downed airman. Meanwhile the AH-6 Little Bird Helicopters would have picked up the downed airman and brought him back to the airstrip. Unfortunately, the surface of the runway appears to have been unable to support a C-130. As a result, some De Havilland Canada Dash 8s (yes the irony!) were sent in to extract personnel, but these could not have carried the AH-6 Little Birds. So the only option was to destroy both the MC-130 and the AH-6 helicopters, rather than risk flying the latter out. So that’s why we didn’t see a V-22 Osprey or a Sikorsky MH-60/HH-60 Pave Hawk be involved – it was a calculation based on risk and utility. Some will see parallels with the Desert One strip disaster on Operation Eagle Claw in 1980, but this was a calculated risk that worked.

From Chinese media on the Pakistani proposal.

“On the 6th local time, a senior Iranian government official said that he had received the latest ceasefire proposal from mediator Pakistan and was currently reviewing the relevant content.
The official said Iran would not accept setting a deadline or applying pressure to force it to make a decision. Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a “temporary ceasefire.” Iran believes the United States is not ready for a permanent ceasefire.”

@537,
Yes, it makes sense for US & Arab vassals to want a 45 day temporary ceasefire. Re-stock, refit, get more US forces in the region, get a coalition of states to enter the Strait, while at the same time, offer nothing relevant to Iran. Who wouldn’t want such a deal?
The question is, why would Iran agree to such a deal and why does China want to push such a deal to a partner country?
Also, my biggest question is (again), why does the market react again to these garbage news which don’t offer even a hint that Iran would agree to something like this?

Posted by: Don Firineach | Apr 6 2026 9:47 utc | 542

@541,
There are multiple reports that Pakistan asked for China to mediate and allegedly China agree to the proposed Pakistani plan. A plan that doesn’t really offer much to Iran outside of the usual talking points. Unlike the US, the people in China know how to read and if they actually cared about Iran, they would have told Pakistan to fuck off to their masters in Saudi Arabia & US and make a new and improved peace plan that balances the needs of Iran as well.  
Until there are any actual concessions made by US, Iran gains to lose from a temporary ceasefire. But they also need actual support from so called partners like Russia/China/India to be able to stand up and demand something more than what they are currently getting. Similar to how Ukraine is receiving from the EU lapdogs and US. 

Posted by: JamesBond | Apr 6 2026 9:58 utc | 544

I’m surprised there are people who goes around saying Iranians are stupid people who don’t make decisions based on national interests but based on what evil China tells them to do.

Police rush Bondi Beach, apprehend ‘F … Israel’ tee-shirt man … again
 
by Michael West | Apr 6, 2026 | Government, Latest Posts
 
As many as 18 police have descended on Bondi Beach to arrest anti-genocide protestor Andrew Brown for wearing a ‘F… Israel F… Zionists’ t-shirt.
 
The Sydney businessman had been arrested over two years ago and forced to defend his rights to free speech as police pressed charges for offensive behaviour. He was charged, put under onerous bail conditions. And after a long and costly brush with police prosecutors, all three charges against him were dropped.
 
This afternoon at Bondi, the Sydney businessman and columnist here at Michael West Media was detained and threatened by NSW Police with arrest for offensive behaviour again for wearing what he described as his “favourite” t-shirt.
 
When confronted by officers as to what they described as “offensive behaviour” Brown responded that he was afforded freedom of political communication under the Constitution.
 
“I’m offended by people wearing crocs .. I’m offended by little kids being blown to pieces”.
 
He also said that he was offended by 13 year old girls wearing g-strings and invited police to make arrests for this offensive behaviour.
 
I may be offended by something they do, it doesn’t mean I have them arrested. offence [under the law] is objective, not subjective.”

LABRADOR SCEPTIC
 
New information has come out in the last few hours about Iranian air defenses – and it looks like warfare may be evolving again. According to the Israelis (WSJ link later), Iran is moving from radar to multispectral cameras for air defense. Iran is also claiming new forms of domestically-produced air defenses are coming on line. :
 

1. “Iran is using a sophisticated network of multispectral cameras to track and identify U.S. and Israeli aircraft, according to a former senior Israeli defense official briefed on the subject.”
2. “Iran has placed the cameras, which capture data from wavelengths beyond visible light, along popular or essential routes for enemy aircraft, and once there is a detection, its forces try to shoot them down, said Amir Avivi, chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum”
3. “Unlike the radar installations, the cameras don’t transmit a signal that Israel can use to locate them, he added. Israel has shared its knowledge about the camera system with the U.S., but it remains an operational challenge, Avivi said.”
4. This is a major issue from multiple directions. US air superiority is based on active radar. The stealth planes are hard to see with radar. Every time a defense radar lights up, the US sends missiles to take out the radar.

As for doing more to help Iran defend it self China is NOT US selling arms to both sides to create chaos. China cannot force Iran to buy Chinese weapons. Iran has always asked Russia for weapons but Russia has a greater priority to defend the 2 million Russian Jews in Israel.

Immediately after the last 12 Days War Iran asked China for their HQ9 AD missiles and China rushed delivery in February just before the USRael attack.

I don’t know the extent of redundancy in the global cabling and then there is Starlink that can scale a bit but not enough, IMO.
I would think they would take out all the data centers before the scorched earth step of cutting the fiber cables because they use them as well.
 
What is not talked about much is that almost all those fiber cables are PRIVATELY owned and operated instead of all sovereign owned and operated.
As the public/private global finance conflict deepens the private folk have that threat to use……China is the only exception to private fiber ownership/operation and its Belt and Road initiative is expanding their fiber networks.

The C-130s did not crash and were not shot down by Iran. They were likely hit by Iranian ground fire while on the tarmac and disable. Note, that Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 happened in the dark of the night.
US Homeland Security News @defense_civil25Update: US Special Forces locate the lost pilot and land a Special Forces team on a transport for extraction but it gets stuck and possibly damaged. Operators are forced to hold positions under fire as three more aircraft rush in for a high-risk rescue!https://x.com/defense_civil25/status/2040752035914567872

Why are you still pushing this silly video?  Did you not post yesterday that it was actually filmed in California? I’m not sure I believe that, either, but I’m sure it did not happen in Iran. And I still think it’s an AI fake.
