Sorry I thought you meant defending in the active term, yes USA is the aggressor.Aren't defending themselves? Lol... Who attacked who first? Come on Frank.
What is your source for all this information that you are sharing? The Avengers? Tony Stark told you?
There is no credible news source telling us American bomber planes are refuelling at Caltex in the sky grabbing a pie & coke then carrying on with the bombing?
The US has no options left. Pete Hegseth has called for Ukraine Soldier's to join in on the ground assault & Trump has called on the Kurdish to join in too. The Kurds have said no. Send your own troops.
ISREMERCA are running out of allies. Iran still has China & Russia providing weapons to them.
Intelligence is broken up into specialties GEOINT for satellite, SIGINT is for signals (comms) OSINT is open source intelligence, using what's in the public space rather than specialist collectors. Civilian OSINT came into its own during the Ukraine war and some private firms and individuals provide excellent analysis.
It was OSINT that cemented the case for the US strike on the school as well as the how and why and its OSINT providing a lot of estimates for Iranian launches and other battlespace information. People have tracked and taken photos of US / Israeli refueling tankers and shown the push closer and closer to Iran. Same with leaked photos of planes and munitions. The type of plane can tell you what level of air defence is still operational as does the type of bomb. The US has started using the B52, thats a Vietnam era plane. Its dropping JDAMS that are dropped directly over target, no stand off.
