LIVE: Iran JUST FIRED Anti-Ship Missiles At Hormuz xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1RJZzBYAw…

Iran's army claims it shot down a U.S. LUCAS drone over Bandar Abbas. There's no wreckage, no video, and no U.S. confirmation. LUCAS is America's version of Iran's own Shahed-136 drone, at roughly $35,000 a copy. If the claim is true, Iran had to turn on its radar to take the shot, and radiating gives away your position to every listening aircraft in the region. At the same time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on X telling Cubans who want change that "now is the time" to form a "discreet partnership with the CIA." Havana mocked it. Meanwhile the pressure keeps building: an oil blockade, U.S. surveillance flights off the coast, an arrest warrant for Raúl Castro, and the President saying a warship returning from Iran could stop 50 yards off Cuba's shore. Plus, Trump says a new strike on Iran could come "maybe tomorrow," the Saudi-led coalition intercepted 10 Houthi ballistic missiles in a single morning, and Russia launched 153 drones at Ukraine overnight.

LIVE: Iran DARES U.S. Warships As U.S. Military Threatens NEW Strikes xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1DGleVzBo…

IRGC DEMANDS A NUKE AS U.S. MILITARY PREPARES FOR STRIKES A former IRGC commander now running Iran's Supreme National Security Council says nuclear weapons are "not off the table," and Iranian lawmakers are openly calling for the bomb. Iran's president still says they aren't seeking one. So who's actually steering the ship in Tehran? Meanwhile, reporting says the U.S. is planning several days of strikes on Iran's nuclear, missile, and energy targets after the November 3 midterms. No decision has been made, but the planning is real. As a former F-15E Strike Eagle pilot, I break down Pickaxe Mountain, the tunnel complex near Natanz buried deep in granite, and how B-2s, the GBU-57, and our tankers would crack it. Hint: you don't vaporize the mountain. You seal its doors and its lungs. Plus: the U.S. intel warning on Iranian plots against Americans, a Houthi missile intercepted over Riyadh, and Russia's latest drone attack on Kyiv. The blockade holds. The tankers keep flying. Watch the days after November 3. Full breakdown on YouTube now. Link in bio. #breakingnews #currentevents #militarynews #maxafterburner #newsalert

Houthi ballistic missiles flew at Saudi Arabia again overnight, and the Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted one headed for Riyadh. At almost the same moment, the Treasury Secretary posted satellite images of Kharg Island, Iran's main oil terminal. Not one crude tanker in sight. CENTCOM says 100 days of strict blockade enforcement have kept at least $25 billion of Iranian oil off the market. So how does America stop an entire country's oil from leaving? Satellites, P-8 Poseidons, Tritons and Reapers find the ships. A radio call turns most of them around. For the ones that won't listen, a fighter jet takes out the rudder, and Aegis destroyers hold the shield over all of it. Iran's answer so far is claims and threats. It says it hit seven ships but has named none of them. Now it says Gulf airports, pipelines and telecom networks are on the table if strikes resume. Plus: Russia launches 176 drones at Ukraine overnight, and the Pentagon lines up a 10-year framework for 850 F-35s.

Iran just took state TV cameras underground. Iran's Army chief, Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami, gave a report from inside an underground drone production center. He announced a new drone that Iran says it will unveil "in the near future" and claimed its drone advantage has reached an "unprecedented level." Iran didn't say where the site is, and nobody has seen the new drone yet. The timing matters. U.S. and Israeli militaries have reportedly drawn up plans for a short, intensive round of strikes on Iran's energy sites, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone stockpiles after the November 3 midterms. The President hasn't authorized it. He also says Iran is inventing incidents in the Strait of Hormuz to push oil prices up before the election. Meanwhile, CENTCOM's blockade just hit 100 days and has kept at least $25 billion in Iranian crude off the market. If this kicks back off, the F-22 Raptor is the jet Tehran has to worry about. In March, CENTCOM says Raptors went after Iran's S-300 and Bavar-373 batteries on day one of Epic Fury and flew more than 200 combat sorties in nine days. U.S. officials say not one Iranian missile fired at them ever got a lock. Iran can bury its drone factory under a mountain. It can't hide the radars that are supposed to protect it. Also in today's breakdown: explosions reported overnight in Sirik on the Strait of Hormuz, cause still unconfirmed. Russia launched missiles at Kyiv hours after the Witkoff-Putin talks. And F-22s landed in Japan as Marines put anti-ship missiles on an island about 110 km from Taiwan. Full breakdown is live on YouTube now.

LIVE: U.S. Orders Diplomats OUT As Houthis ESCALATE Saudi Attacks xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1DGleVyOW…

Iran just put a MiG-29 in the sky near the Iraqi border, at least according to a photo posted this morning. Iran wants you to see that jet. What it didn't post is a video showing a massive explosion at a factory inside Iran. The location and cause aren't confirmed yet. Meanwhile, two U.S. officials say the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit are headed to the Middle East. That's about 10,000 sailors and Marines arriving by the end of November, and three American carriers in the region. Saudi Arabia shot down five drones over the Medina and Eastern regions this morning, and the Houthis deny launching them. Turkey is moving to send military personnel to defend the kingdom, and British Typhoons are already flying defensive patrols overhead. Also today: Russia freed American Air Force veteran Stephen Hubbard as Witkoff met Putin. France is calling in soldiers ahead of Saturday's protests. And the internet tried to bury Kim Jong Un again, until North Korea released new photos. A 35-year-old MiG-29 against three carrier air wings is bringing a Blockbuster card to a Netflix fight.

Using AI for high stakes environments that help get the mission completed…shut up and take my money!

Hegseth makes a SECRET trip to Israel as Britain sends fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. America's War Secretary slipped into Israel unannounced and sat down with Netanyahu at a desert air base. The Pentagon isn't commenting on what they discussed. A day later, the U.K. ordered RAF Typhoons to fly defensive missions over Saudi Arabia, guarding cities, oil sites and airports from Houthi drones and missiles. The Typhoon has done this before. In April 2024, RAF Typhoons shot down Iranian drones headed for Israel, in the same fight where American F-15E Strike Eagles took down dozens more. Different mission now, same team. Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard says its mines set two tankers on fire in the Strait of Hormuz. There are no ship names and no independent confirmation. CENTCOM says about 97 percent of ships are getting through untouched. Is this the allies tightening the shield before the next round? Drop your read below. Full breakdown on YouTube now.

LIVE: Houthis ESCALATE As Egypt Delays Military Support For Saudi Arabia xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1Oxwbnjkp…

Trump just warned America could soon finish the job in Iran. Iran's foreign minister fired back with "try your luck." And this morning, Putin's top diplomat landed in Tehran, the same weekend Ukraine launched one of its biggest drone attacks of the war and set Putin's hometown oil terminal on fire. So is Russia there to stop a war or protect a customer? Here's what most people are missing. Everybody keeps saying MOAB. Wrong tool. For a target buried under a mountain like Pickaxe Mountain, you need the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bunker buster, and only one airplane on the planet carries it: the B-2 Spirit. No strike has been ordered, and Trump says nothing before the midterms. But when the President names the target, there's only one jet in the conversation. Also today: Houthi missiles hit a Saudi-backed camp in Yemen, the Marines bring the NMESIS ship killer to an island 70 miles from Taiwan, and Iran's national airline is down to six working jets. Lavrov preaching de-escalation with his oil terminal on fire is Clark Griswold teaching Christmas light safety.

LIVE: Saudi Arabia Calls In Allies As Houthis Keep FIRING xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1DxLdZPjd…

You all know I love tech, and nowadays more than ever, advanced interceptor tech has caught my eye. How do you stop a missile flying five times the speed of sound? Lockheed Martin just unveiled its answer: PAC-3 Edge. It's built on the combat-proven PAC-3 MSE, designed to counter air, missile and hypersonic threats higher and farther out, and it's Lockheed Martin's entry in the Army's Future Interceptor competition. But the best interceptor in the world doesn't matter if you can't build enough of them. So Lockheed Martin invested $300M in its Grand Prairie, Texas plant and teamed up with Hadrian to put 24 automated machines right on the factory floor, run by Lockheed Martin's Texas workforce. Lockheed Martin's plans call for 6,000 new American jobs, 2,000 of them in Texas. Deterrence depends on production, and America is building fast again. @LockheedMartin #ad #breakingnews #currentevents #militarynews #newsalert

BREAKING: The White House and the Pentagon have reportedly drawn up plans to use the Mother of All Bombs on Iran if the President gives the order. The GBU-43/B MOAB is the largest non-nuclear bomb in the American arsenal. It weighs 21,600 pounds and is too big for a bomber, so it rides out the back of an Air Force special operations MC-130 on a sled and is pulled clear by a parachute. It steers itself to the target by GPS, then detonates just above the ground. It's not a bunker buster. It's built to collapse caves, tunnel entrances and the hardened launch sites the IRGC has been using to fire on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The President on the record: "The mother of all bombs is not nuclear. I wouldn't use nuclear. We don't have to." Two American carriers are on station in the Arabian Sea. CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper says Iran now has "no exports and no imports by sea" apart from humanitarian aid. Iran says the Strait is closed, yet CENTCOM reports more than 40 commercial ships sailed through it in a single day. Iran's own president now admits the country has "never faced such intense blockade." No order has been given. But the plan is on the table, the force is in place, and the clock is running. Also tonight: •Houthi missiles struck Yemen's presidential palace in Aden. Tonight two more missiles hit Aden airport, and Saudi defenses intercepted drones and missiles headed for Riyadh and Yanbu. •Ukraine has ended its pause on refinery strikes, and four Moscow airports were restricted as dozens of drones were downed near the capital. •After a fight between Kyiv, Washington and Elon Musk over a Starlink speed cap, Ukraine's Starlink access has been restored. Full breakdown on how a MOAB mission would actually work. Link in bio. #breakingnews #currentevents #militarynews #maxafterburner #newsalert
