The Israeli jets were downed on Friday. According to reports, the pilot of one of these warplanes, who is a woman, has been captured.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has vowed a crushing response to Israel’s acts of aggression.

The Israeli regime attacked a number of residential neighborhoods of Tehran and locations in other parts of Iran in the early hours of Friday.

        I think the capitalization is less baffling if you’ve ever received an email from Trump inviting you for an exclusive trip to Mar-a-Lago, or offering you one of his exclusive gold watches. I have no idea how they got my email, but they were sending them so frequently I actually blocked them.

    Does this have any credible source reporting on it, just curious since this image is not a recent image.

        Not sure that’s a credible source. Didn’t Iranian media claim they destroyed dozens of F-35s in missile strikes of Israeli airfields last October and then it turned out to be completely fake?

          I checked with the Nazi AI and Iran did not make this claim.

          A few Twitter users made this claim, but it cannot find Tasnim state media or the Iranian army making this claim of destroying grounded Israeli F35’s in 2024.

          Based on the available information, there is no direct evidence that the Iranian army claimed through their state media that they bombed 20 Israeli jets in 2024. *nstead, this specific claim appears to have originated from other sources, such as Israeli sources and IranIntl (a Persian-speaking Israeli outlet), rather than from Iranian state media outlets like Tasnim News Agency or statements directly attributed to the Iranian army or the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).

          It even states that this misinformation about 20 destroyed jets originated from Israeli sources which is interesting. Not sure if true but at least not from Tasnim.

            This is not snark, it’s genuine concern: are you doing research by asking AI bots questions? If so, for the love of God please stop, you’re ruining your brain. This information is freely available from any search engine if you use the date feature. I used Kagi to find these in like, 5 minutes:

              Yes. Google and other DDG are awful at finding any article and quote from the past when it comes to Israel except if it says ‘Israel has the right to defend itself am yisrael chai Hamas terrorists’. AI does not always get it correct but it makes far fewer mistakes and will actually show me articles not from NYT or Reuters, which Google frequently literally refuses to do even when verbatim typing a sentence from that site.


              According to the same AI Tehrantimes is not Iranian state media, whereas Tasnim is. A quick search confirms this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran_Times

              Furthermore Forbes quotes Tehrantimes. Tehramtimes attributes the claim to an IRGC general Ebrahim Jabbari . Hovewer reading the Tehrantimes article, it only claims what title says this in the summary which weird. Now here is what is likely the full quote which I found by searching on Ebrahim Jabbari 20:


              Iranwire:

              Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed, "Based on the information received, it is likely that around 20 Israeli fighter jets were destroyed." However, no evidence was provided to support it.

              “Even if the exact number is lower, the key point is that we were able to inflict heavy blows on their security, military, and economic centers,” he added.

              So after using a search engine myself I conclude that the Nazi AI was correct and that Tehrantimes misquoted the Iranian army general which made a vague bombastic quote instead of using concrete numbers.

              The current article says 2 and is a direct claim by the Iranian military. It might still be fake but at least it not a “possibly 2”.

    Guessing Israel wants to use that stealth capability while it can before Trump causes the program to shutter and leaks shit to Russians dChina, who’d eventually share with Iran. Flex the muscle while you can, before the cat is out of the bag (or some other mixed metaphor)

        i am very much for a more humane govt there and against medieval islamic culture but iran are saints when compared to israel. israeli snipers have been shooting pregnant women for years and wearing tshirts about it with “one shot two kills”

        israel is full of the most disgusting humans on earth who will murder a kids family infront of him then shoot him in legs two days later. all because they tried to save some olive trees which are their only source of livelihood.

        and israelis do it just because they can and won’t face any consequence for it.

          How’s that defending Israel? Person is clearly pointing out a problem with Iran. And unless you’re telling me that Iran is a perfect country, this isn’t defending israel.

        Both sides are run by religious fundamentalist which are the worst types of human on earth. Any religion that thinks they’re “chosen” treat women like shit because of their males littlest-of-dick-energy available.

          Ah but you see, that line only works when it’s used by a lib. The same standard does not apply to them!

          There’s absolutely no need to read books like “Do Muslim Women Need Saving?” for a better understanding on why Western media’s portrayal of Muslims is the way that it is, why do so when it’s much easier to regurgitate unfounded, fabricated, downright mythological what-is-practically Western projections on to populations that they deem “uncivilized”, all at the comfort of doing so from your own couch!

          spoiler

          To the lurkers, if this was somehow not obvious, /s.

    Absolutely hilarious how the US bet the farm on this tech, and the first time it was tested against a serious military it turned out not to actually work. Who could’ve guessed.
