A long talking head video?
Pretty good video, thanks.
If all you care about is munching popcorn while cheering the propaganda for your side, you can ignore such reports. But combined with the retreat from the Gulf area bases and getting kicked out of Iraq when bases there would be very handy for dealing with Iran, getting hammered in your rear area bases while running shorter and shorter on advanced munitions that will take years to replace at an exorbitant cost that the US can ill afford is a very bad sign.
Thank you General EnderWiggin1970.
You saw a video?
Link, please!
What they FO? Because as far as I can tell, they still have missiles that they can still launch, while their command still has control over the battlefield? Damn. Hard lesson to learn, yeah?
ToI has an apparent anti-US tilt (or is just not part of the Western censorship regime), so feel free to take its reports with a grain of salt. But that holds true of western media as well. For example, Jordan/the US claim that they shot down 18 of 20 missiles and the remaining 2 missed hitting anything. But then what is with the reports and video of damaged aircraft?
Hello troll, nice to meet you
I do trust CENTCOM and they're not reporting this at all. On A-10 damaged, several F-15 minor damage. No injuries, deaths or wounding.
I'm sure someone hyperventilated or got their hair mussed but CENTCOM didn't report it.
I asked AI about TOI:
Did the Times of India run any stories about US carriers sunk or damaged by Iran?
🇮🇳 1. Times of India reported Iranian claims of hits on U.S. carriers:
USS Gerald R. Ford
Times of India ran a story listing U.S. losses during Iran's 21‑day assault and included Iran's claim that the USS Gerald R. Ford had been “targeted” or “damaged.” This was part of a broader list of Iranian claims about U.S. aircraft and systems.
USS Abraham Lincoln
Times of India also ran a story about Iran claiming it struck the USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles, rendering it “non‑operational.”
Iranian state media said the carrier “fled at high speed.”
Again — no evidence.
🇺🇸 2. CENTCOM denied all claims
In both cases:
CENTCOM said the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group was fully operational.
CENTCOM said Iranian missiles did not hit the carrier.
U.S. officials said Iranian vessels approached dangerously, but no carrier was struck.
For the Ford, Times of India noted the claim but did not provide any confirmation, and CENTCOM did not corroborate any damage.
