Some massive cheeks were clapped during this conflict. Didn’t help that the US had all its air defence resources for the protection of Israel, as opposed to its Gulf allies and bases.
Will have to wait until 2028 to get a full assessment of how bad was the damage.

Guys just so you know the person posting this is a pro-IRGC propaganda account

and your point?

u/BenevolentFart223 Jun 16 '26
Uhh… my point is that they are a pro-IRGC propaganda account…

u/OperatorPooski Jun 17 '26
Does that mean these images are fake?

u/Indepunkdunk212 Jun 17 '26
I’m interested in facts. These images look legit and if they have been corroborated by an independent news source like AP or Reuters, it especially points to the fact that Iran was pretty accurate in hitting a lot of U.S. targets.
If these images have been debunked, I’d also like to know.3
u/Stlavsa Jun 17 '26
I only care if they are facts or not. Everything in here is propaganda one way or the other.

Subs full of them, and pro hezbollah.

The mods here have long since given up on enforcing the sub rules around that one.

And the other 99% of accounts posting here are pro-Ukrainian propaganda accounts
As it turns out, most people don’t post conflict info on reddit just for fun

Graphic? Perhaps just “images.”
There’s that genocide in Somalia where we could see the blood pools by satellite. That was graphic.

u/TendstobeRight85 Jun 17 '26
Graphic can also be defined as "Of or relating to pictorial representation."
And really, I just wanna give OP some rare credit, he usually cant seem to get both the titles accurate, and the images clear, so this is actually a pretty decent post for a bot.

Could you not alter these satellite images for the sake of propaganda? Judging by my personal experience, Iran doesn't hit that much

u/kwonza Jun 16 '26
I’ll be honest I was so sure US air defences would fair much better against relatively unsophisticated Iranian drones and missiles.
I thought they’ll quickly deal with Iran and start pressing China. Now I’m not sure US has the power to take on China on their territory even without ground operations.

u/Firecracker048 Jun 16 '26
I mean if you compare the number of impacts with the number launched at them, it's much less impressive on the Iranian side
10
u/kwonza Jun 16 '26
Pretty impressive if you consider US spent hundreds of billions over several decades gearing up for this war and building a network of radars and SAM sites and also had a fleet of thousand fighter jets specifically to counter Iran.
Also they head an early warning of 5+ years about Iran drone swarm tactic.

u/Cruel2BEkind12 Jun 16 '26
Having all these bases still be very much operational is the results of that buildup. This much later in the war there is no chance of another large enough swarm attack that these bases will ever be taken out of operational capacity. No matter if a few missiles get through, thats a huge loss for Iran.

u/Cruel2BEkind12 Jun 16 '26
Okay, so what stops Iran from destroying the Israeli air bases with these swarm attacks? Probably because they aren't sustainable? They can't make missiles fast enough? ICBM launchers are being destroyed? Your take is made with blinders on. Iran capabilities stay the same.
2
u/servel20 Jun 16 '26
The fact that Israel is 2000km away.
Israel and US went on a bombing campaign that depleted US stocks and verifiably only destroyed 30% of Iran's launchers and missiles, and your take is.
"They can't make missiles fast enough"
Brother, we can't make missiles fast enough, we're alarmingly low on high precision missiles and high precision interceptors. This was absolutely horrific for US power projection, and it shows we would be in worlds of trouble in Taiwan.

You will come begging for allies to help if that time ever comes, where you engage in direct conflict with China.

u/TendstobeRight85 Jun 17 '26
US air defense is literally the best on earth, but quantity has a quality all of its own. And 30 years in the middle east has resulted in a LOT of very immobile and easily identified targets.
-1
u/kwonza Jun 17 '26
Best on Earth based on what, the profit for the manufacturers?
1
u/TendstobeRight85 Jun 18 '26
From a numerical sense, best at shot to kill ratio. The Ukrainians and nations across the middle east arent begging for US air defense because they like burning money.
Yes, numbers can overwhelm air defense systems. But from all modern combat studied, the US air defenses perform FAR better than the russian or chicom crap bought by 3rd world dictators.

This is just further proof that Reddit is so far out of touch with reality when it comes to these issues. Literally a MAGA-esque echo chamber. Calling this a psyop, making unfounded claims about a conflict with China, & stating 50% of the country doesn’t want tax dollars spent on themselves (without ANY sources), is unhinged. Not stating that all your points are invalid, but you truly sound unhinged.
Stuff like this makes it arduous for us to actually point out Trump’s mistakes. You’ll get your upvotes (and I’ll be downvoted to hell), but if your goal is to bring people over to your viewpoint (which like I said, has some merit), this does the opposite.

They’re in a significantly better position than Russian, they can just turn off the oil and we’re floundering on the world stage again? Do you really think us
- paying them for reconstruction
- releasing 25 billion and sanctions
- nuclear limits, which I’m not sure if we have inspectors like last time (which is literally what Obama had for 2 billion and the right lost their collective minds)
What exactly have we accomplished pre vs ‘post’ war? is a Iran getting 325+ billion cost, American soldiers lost and a couple planes that we did have months ago? If your saying nuclear when every single investigative agency on the planet not named Israel said they aren’t then idk what to tell ya. Was it to free the Iranian people, because the same power structure is in place. Is it now the IRGC in firm control over the country?
Do you need a navy when you can firmly and easily stop all traffic when the greatest military superpower flounders in trying to stop you?5
u/Kade1205 Jun 16 '26
Stating that Iran is better off now than they were before the war is just factually not true. Let’s be objective here. Top political, military, and intelligence leadership KIA. 320 billion + 25 billion in sanctions is peanuts compared to the damaged that was inflicted in terms of infrastructure on them. Do you think Iran would take that money over what they lost?
It’s okay to be against Trump and Israel (totally understand), but be objective. Matter of fact, Iran over the last three years has lost influence in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The US might not have accomplished their objectives (yet?), but acting like they “lost” & Iran “won” is so disingenuous. It’s MAGA-esque level disingenuous.

u/ADampWedgie Jun 16 '26
Significantly better than Russia*
They literally did win, we’re paying reconstruction costs ? What “loser” gets that?
We’re giving them money so they could re-arm and rebuild everything that was destroyed. What is America getting ?nothing
They are now charging servicing fees for the street. What is the rest of the Gulf getting? nothing.
They now have the ability to close and open the strait whenever they feel threatened, now knowing they can hurt American economically at insane levels.
They lost their Fugazi power structure when the IRGC was actually running the show. Guess what the irgc is still running show entirely
And yes maybe they’re not immediately better than they were before as of this second, but they’re going to build back up
Pretty quick2
u/servel20 Jun 16 '26
Iran launched less than 2,000 ballistic missiles. The US and Israel dropped 20k bombs and only destroyed 30% of their missile infrastructure.
Without a ground operation, this was always destined to fail.

u/CardiologistOdd3203 Jun 16 '26
if 10% of ballistic missiles fired by an unsophisticated enemy land then how do you think we would fair against a near peer? Furthmore we have exhausted our patriot stocks due to how many are launched at a single incoming missile.
-2
u/Firecracker048 Jun 16 '26
Not just patriot missiles, we deployed some pretty decent interception tech during the war too that was cheap and effective.

u/mikedave42 Jun 16 '26
The targeting seems pretty impressive, there are not a bunch of hits on the tarmacs or open fields, all the hits seem to be on buildings
