    Iranian Missiles Bypass US Air Defense - CENTCOM Targets Infrastructure

    Iranian missiles have struck a US base in Jordan for at least the second time this week amid reports of multiple US casualties. As of now, we have no reports from US Central Command or the Pentagon. I wouldn’t read much into that. Based on FIRMS data, it appears the firefighting effort may still be ongoing so any casualty notifications would be premature before the situation there is under control. This comes as strikes intensify between the US and Iran as the war appears to be back in full swing.

Two military bloggers are referring to this as a "meat grinder" and "a conveyor belt of losses". The unique aspect here is that Russia has the ability to backfill this but it will likely require mobilization, something that seems increasingly likely in the coming months.

Gas is $17 a gallon, if you can find it. Some areas are without water, there are rolling electrical blackouts and the trucks set up to protect fuel convoys from Ukrainian drones, are running out of gas. In fact the complaints are piling up on Russian Telegram channels. The citizens are livid, the milbloggers are dooming and the Russian government, from what we can tell, seems unable to stop these Ukrainian strikes. For Russia, the situation in the south is getting bad, fast.Sources:https://x.com/414magyarbirds/status/2077267966387687450?s=20https://t.me/strelkovii/7509https://t.me/romanov_92/54748https://t.me/atesh_ua/10703Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Unclassified Podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421dYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnclassifiedPodContact: preston@warstories.co Learn more about your ad choices.

    Check out our truck fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-summer-offensive28,000 Russian Soldiers were killed or wounded in June according to a new announcement from the Ukrainian Defense Minister. For some context, that’s more casualties than the US suffered over 20 years of war in Afghanistan according to t the defense casualty analysis system.

    US Just Launched New Attacks Against Iran

    So it looks like we’re back at war with Iran. Or maybe more specifically, we’re in a war over the Strait of Hormuz. In just the past few days the US has struck around 300 targets and Iran has fired as many as 500 drones and missiles at US and allied locations in the region. Pretty clear the sole focus right now is the Strait of Hormuz. These strikes didn’t pick back up because of the Iranian nuclear program, their ballistic missile program or their support for proxies. It is because Iran exerted control over the key waterway.
