Who has control of the skies over Iran... All reports point to Israel ... Perhaps you can find some to contradict this ... If so post them . At this point there is nothing to dispute who is winning this war at this point in time.
Israel has the advantage of a surprise attack. It may or may not ho!d.

- President Donald Trump on Monday urged everyone to immediately evacuate Tehran, and reiterated that Iran should have signed a nuclear deal with the United States.
I would say theres at least a coin flip chance and I don't love it.

Trump is leaving G7 a day early, to return to DC for "important matters"...

When half the Iranian airforce has been destroyed, it's going to be hard to flip that back.
Isreal massively outclassed Iran in the air when they still had their whole airforce. They're not making that back anytime soon.
Plus, it's not like they're buying any new F4s or F14s to replace their losses.
And I'm not sure Russia is selling many Migs right now either, they need all they can get themselves.
Based on Trump's latest tweet telling everyone to leave Tehran immediately and Iran should have listened......
Yea I think shits about to go down. It's definitely not a coincidence that 25+ tankers simultaneously left conus over the Atlantic.....
I think the next level of escalation is about to happen.

How much escalation .. Drop the bunker bombs and that's it ?
Iran isn't going to just allow us to bomb them with no recourse.
They will retaliate. They will need to save face.
When they retaliate and kill Americans or destroy American bases or resources, we will then in turn retaliate to their retaliation and so on.
Nothing good is coming from this.
Rumors that china/Pakistan/Russia sending aid to Iran right now to restock their missiles and provide aid. Pakistan already said they will put Iran under their nuclear umbrella and all Muslim nations should unite.
Shits escalating rapidly

How the Israel-Iran war may develop
If Iran is losing a conventional conflict, there is a danger that it will resort to unconventional means of retaliationIsrael certainly has achieved rapid and spectacular early successes in this conflict. But taking out Iran’s dispersed nuclear programme, much of it underground, is much more complicated than destroying targets on the ground.
In Washington and Brussels there are concerns that if the Iranian regime is cornered it might lash out in desperation.
In the recent past, the US has accused Iran of having covert biological and chemical weapons programmes. If those fears are correct, Tehran may have the means of striking back at Israeli or American targets in a deadly but deniable fashion.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has also stated that Iran has a considerable stockpile of uranium that is enriched to 60 per cent. It is generally believed that Tehran would need to get to 90 per cent enrichment to make a nuclear weapon. This could be done within days — although weaponisation would take much longer.

Might be why Trump deciding to directly get involved??

I heard on a couple of different podcasts that has been debunked.
IDK what the truth is, I'm just saying.
I have not seen any proof of Pakistani leadership taking that stance.
Like a video or some sort of public statement. Maybe I missed it.

You seem to think they have a say in this.
They have about as much say as Afghanistan and Iraq did 20 years ago.
And you are mistaken about the Pakistan thing.
*Iran* said that Pakistan should do that. I suspect Pakistan is a lot less enthusiastic about starting shit with the US than Iran.

Watching Trump on the news at the moment. The man looks highly agitated.
“Iran should’ve taken the deal”
Gave me chills.
He is not the man to speak in that manner and not deliver.

Might be something going down over night. Transponders for RAF out of Cyprus and USA C17A aircraft out of Germany turned off entering conflict airspace. Been watching all this since before day 61 expecting something. Haven't seen military transponders. Tracked the RAF coming back. C17A's Transponder went off over Jordan after looping. Also tracked a Chinese air crafts transponder off after entering Iranian airspace. Another non listed passenger airliner at 725 feet riding the southern coast of Iran just disappeared. Something is up.
I might turn on the news.

Strait Of Hormuz Disruption Fears Surge After Former Iranian Minister Threatens Transit Restrictions
JPMorgan's forecast of triple-digit Brent crude prices could soon be a reality as conflict risk in and around the Strait of Hormuz intensifies. The waterway, which handles roughly 20% of global oil trade, remains one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. Any disruption, particularly amid growing military escalation between Iran and Israel, could impact energy flows worldwide and send prices soaring."Starting tomorrow, for 100 days, no oil tankers or LNG cargoes will be able to pass through the strait without Iran's approval," Khandouzi said.
A blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—the world's busiest oil-shipping channel—would shut down the region's oil trade, supercharging oil prices.
The skinny waterway—at its narrowest point it is only 21 miles (33 km) wide— separating the UAE, Oman and Iran, connects the Persian Gulf with the Indian Ocean, and facilitates the movement of some 30% of the world's seaborne oil trade and 20% of the world's LNG supply (Table 1).

Did Trump rebuild them? If not, China has our oil reserves, thanks Brandon.

Fuck if we are going to do this can we do it right. Just take them off the map period. But why would we do that, there is more money to be made in multiple wars over a 30 year period.

It's only been six months since sleepy joe drained them dry!
Super interesting if you're into this sort of stuff.
"Allegedly" this picture shows an unidentified aircraft over Golan Israel in the pre dawn hours.
Very interesting.
There's only 1 current flying wing stealth bomber type, the b2. It's what everyone has seen and familiar with.
This, IMO it's not a B2, 100% not.
That leaves 2 other possibilities, it's our new B21 bomber but "allegedly" it's not operational it's still in qualification and testing. But the profile and shape sure seems to match.
Or, 2 is some previously unknown stealthy drone similar to what the RQ170 was like.
Realistically the US (and maybe China now) is probably the only military in the with this type of tech.
So it's starting to get really interesting what's going on.

Highly doubtful it's China personally I don't believe their hype on the capability copy

No it's the US. Just making a point how rare this technology is. And that it's interesting previously unknown aircraft are now being spotted on camera. Shows the rapid escalation and seriousness of it all.
