Iran Just Got Caught Laying Mines In The Strait Of Hormuz So The U.S. Military UNLEASHED THIS

U.S. CENTCOM launched self-defense strikes on Iranian mine-laying boats and missile launch sites near Bandar Abbas in the Strait of Hormuz on May 25, 2026 — while Secretary Rubio publicly stated a peace deal was "days away." In this video: a former F-15E combat pilot breaks down exactly what got hit, what systems the U.S. likely used (F/A-18 Super Hornets, F-35C, EA-18G Growlers, HIMARS), how the SEAD package took out Iran's Bavar-373 SAM system, and what the mine-laying operation reveals about the IRGC's real negotiating posture. Plus: why Iran just ended its 87-day internet blackout after massacring protesters — and what that tells you about a regime running out of options.

U.S. Military Just UNLEASHED HELL In Nigeria

US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and Nigerian forces executed a precision air-land strike May 16th that took down Abu-Bilal al-Minuki — the number-two of a network globally — at his fortified compound in Metele, Borno State, Nigeria. Al-Minuki was the senior General Directorate of Provinces Emir responsible for global attack planning, hostage operations, and the financial networks funding every ISIS franchise on the planet. A former F-15E Strike Eagle combat pilot breaks down the full AFRICOM takedown — MQ-9 Reapers, Special Forces, AC-130 gunship, and months of patient intelligence work — plus what this decapitation strike means for the global ISIS network. Plus: Iran's nuclear deal hits a 48-hour deadline, China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) carrier makes a move in the Pacific, and Ukraine's $1,000 interceptor drone that's killing Iran's best weapon.

U.S. Military F-35's Just Did Something INSANE To Iran's Coastal Hideouts

On May 7th 2026, Iran launched its most coordinated assault yet — missiles, drone swarms, and fast attack boats — against three U.S. Navy destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz, and what happened next includes a possible combat laser intercept, F-35 precision strikes on four Iranian port facilities, and the most consequential single night of naval operations in this entire conflict. Every platform, every target, and every strategic implication broken down in full.

How U.S. F-18's Decimated Iran’s Prized Oil Tanker In Strait Of Hormuz

A U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet just made history — strafing an Iranian oil tanker’s rudder with its M61A2 Vulcan 20mm cannon to stop a blockade runner in the Gulf of Oman in the first confirmed aircraft-to-ship direct fire enforcement of this conflict — and the sensor kill chain behind that precise burst runs from Global Hawks at 60,000 feet through Aegis radar, MQ-9 armed overwatch, RQ-170 Sentinel ID confirmation, and the 82nd Airborne’s AI-enabled JADC2 network straight into a Super Hornet cockpit. This full breakdown covers every layer of that kill chain, Iran’s fractured internal leadership and what it means for the peace talks, the Brent crude economic war playing out in real time, and what Anduril’s Fury drones mean for where this network goes next.
