Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

A Hezbollah FPV drone barely missed a rescue helicopter in which an IDF soldier killed by another FPV drone earlier today was being loaded. Somehow nobody was injured from the hit.

Spoiler: Context

Shortly after 9:00 AM today, Hezbollah terrorists launched an explosive FPV Drone toward tanks from the 77th "Saar me-Golan" Battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade operating in the village of A-Taybeh in southern Lebanon. The Shiite village is located about 4 km from the border.

The armored company from Battalion 77 had been operating in recent days together with soldiers from Battalion 12 of the Golani Brigade and had to carry out repairs on a tank in an open area near buildings. The drone struck the force: Sergeant Idan Fooks, 19, was killed, and six soldiers were wounded, four of them seriously.

Later, terrorists launched two additional drones toward the rescue forces and toward an IAF helicopter that arrived to evacuate the casualties. One UAV was intercepted, and the second struck near the forces. There were no additional casualties.

Hezbollah published their POV of both strikes on the initial 77th Battalion force and the rescue.

My favorite economics youtuber is starting to doom about the energy markets. I actually take this guy pretty seriously so things are about to get bumpy.

Worst comes to worst, we can just temporarily ban energy exports (maybe give Japan a waiver), and Europe can deal with its own problems for its cowardice.

I like this guy's video. He has a dry sense of humor that works with his dry subject matter.

He clearly doesn't want to say it outright but he pretty much admits that the US is likely to come out of this better than anyone else. Europe, especially Western Europe is doooooomed and it's their own politician's dumbass fault. Third world is megafucked and it's mostly Europe's fault for being pussy cucks. This concludes my TDS blinders off synopsis.

There comes a point where the sunk cost of accrued economic pain will compel Trump to make a move.

More importantly, the navy is running low on hummus.

 

[draggs]

Why would Trump restart bombing when Iran is bleeding out without the US having to fire a shot right now? He clearly doesn't care about muh midterms prognostications. He's made the calculation that he can stay retarded longer than the IRGC can stay solvent. He's also made the calculation that Israel mogging Hezbollah is enough military pressure. Iran's strategy is insisting it's not owned (dutifully parroted by yerps and the media) as it transforms into a cob of corn. All Trump has to do for now is ignore the peanut gallery

 

[FunPosting101]

I think this thing needs to be brought to a decisive conclusion sooner rather than later and not just because I have blueballs from all that fucking teasing about powerplant and bridge day either. Iran needs to be brought to it's knees, and the Islamic fundamentalist regime there needs to be broken sooner rather than later. No more pussy footing around, IMO. Destroy them now, or make them submit.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

Guys, I think you should do what he says. Does this look like a man you want to test?

Because it would be cool.

China has rare earth metals

And the rest of the world just magically doesn't? China is the world's number one producer because like everything else environmentally destructive we've outsourced it to them and then pretended like there weren't any hidden costs to doing so.

So, all of the cool military stuff?, you'll be proud of it and own it, but the consequences?, that's for everyone else to deal with.

uh huh

Pretty much, yeah. I mean, nothing stopping Europe from getting cool military stuff of their own to protect and secure their own interests. The USA's been telling them to do that ever since the Obama years after all, and they haven't, so that's on them.

I'm not familiar with the pressures involved at Iranian wellheads but I think "exploding" is overstating the situation by a large margin. From my understanding Iran has a lot of "agressive oozers" but not gushers. However it will damage the pipeline and very likely cause leaks if pressure is allowed to build - the ground produces more pressure than a pipeline will be able to withstand, so its going to fail and leak oil.
which is also going to be a big problem after things move again - your pipeline will need scruturabl repairs and so will all the senors.

That's just Trump having his usual way with words, really. Metaphorically its going to explode anyways as a result of how far down the extraction process the damage could spread from all that overpressure. There's also a non-zero chance some of their storage tanks errr... "structurally fail" due to the Iranians applying increasingly desperate levels of patch jobs to leaks.

What the fuck is the third-worldist running that account on his behalf even talking about?

I've seen better math from Scott Steiner.

Watching its tech get mogged by American tech (again)

Hey, those fancy anti-stealth radars they sent Iran worked perfectly at letting everyone know American planes were in the area. What do you mean they weren't supposed to do so by exploding?

Drachinifel did a video recently on the top naval blunders of all time. The last one he discussed was the USA deciding it simply didn't need a navy right after it declared its independence and thus left itself at the mercy of the entire world given its dependence on international trade. While he thankfully didn't start sperging about anything modern he did make a small, quick comment at the end about how maybe people these days shouldn't be repeating that mistake.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

I'm 99% sure that the rest of the responses, especially from the male sailors and Marines, consisted of zoomer babble plus a few one word reply consisting of "nigger", "faggot" and "RAPE" here and there.

I didn't want to post a bunch of the same looking screenshots but since you asked:




In closed-door meetings, Vice President JD Vance has repeatedly questioned Pentagon assessments of the war with Iran, particularly claims that U.S. missile stockpiles remain strong, raising concerns about the accuracy of information being presented, according to The Atlantic.

He has warned that depleted munitions could undermine U.S. readiness for potential conflicts involving Taiwan, South Korea, or Europe.

A former official says Secretary of War Pete Hegseth tends to align his messaging with what President Trump wants to hear, as his position appears increasingly tied to Trump’s support.

While Hegseth and military leaders maintain that supplies are “robust” and the campaign successful, internal evaluations suggest Iran retains much of its military capability and that U.S. forces have used a significant share of key weapons.

Vance has stopped short of accusing Pentagon officials of misleading the president but continues to push for more accurate and transparent assessments.

This is from The Atlantic so I'm doubting it until someone else verifies it.

"holding global economy hostage"

"global helium economy"

"global food economy"

"global catastrophe"

sounds like a lot of things the US doesn't need to worry about but the rest of the world that refuses to participate in the war does. seethe harder bald euroscum, you brought this on yourself

 

[Mike_Israeltel]

make them submit.

That ain't gonna happen. It happened really quickly and cheaply in Venezuela because Socialists have no conviction. Say what you will about the tenets of childfucker moonworship, at least it's an ethos.

Regime replaced with slightly more reasonable muslims, maybe, but honestly I'm doubtful of all this One True Shah malarky really catching on, and an arab republic will remain reasonable only when intimidated recently. Look at Iraq stabbing us in the back.


Now, I know Germans say six million is impossible, but with American can-do I reckon 90 million is completely achievable.

Mark Milley is just pissy he wasn't around to warn the enemy.

My journalist fatigue is getting terminal.

Kike reporting, so truthfulness is likely low, but probably not any lower than any other journo rag.

I think there's some truth to this one in the sense that we're apparently getting car manufacturers to make more munitions. Not that we're running out, but that we could be between a rock and a hard place in the future. But it's hard to tell the truth here; the government is willing to lie on every level, but acting like a news outlet is a bastion of truth is just naive.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Two KC-46s took off from Ben Gurion airport and are at refueling altitude between Oman and Iran, probably refueling fighters flying cap over the blockade ships.

Trump's tweets supposedly being viewed by the IRGC as a sign of weakness is extremely funny if true. Trump is the first President since probably Coolidge to truly not give a shit about optics. He says what he believes. Did Trump deprive me of the powerplant and bridge day I was promised so I will always be bitter? Yes. Would he have followed through on that threat if Iran didn't lie about being willing to talk? Also, yes. I wish Iran would test him so I could get the TMD I was promised a month ago.

No way he's 100% telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

My nigga in Thailand cant drive his diesel truck cause you got companies hoarding it lol.

https://thediplomat.com/2026/04/thailands-fuel-smuggling-problem-surges-into-view/

The amount of fucking cope I see from western journalists is retarded. These "criminals" are usually businessmen that are immediately labeled criminals by the state when the state of thailand fucks up. Its the same reason IP2 during his Thailand stream almost got arrested for embarrassing a local establishment and the company sicked the secret police on him.

Its telling that a IRL friend and the news tells completely different stories. Also the 1st and 2nd amendment must be defended at all costs.
