There seems to be potential for another 10000 troops with additional armoured vehicles to be sent to the Middle East. Apparently massing ground forces is now something you do after you've won decisively...

This is an interesting development: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03/26/us-iran-mines-israel-village-missile-munitions-weapons-war-conflict Given the proximity of the village to what appears to be an Iranian ballistic missile site, I'm assuming laying aerially distributed anti-tank...

Silly me for thinking that airports, hotels and residential areas aren't civilian centres and infrastructure. It's notable that you failed to quote my post, because if you had your entire argument would fall flat on its face. This is a poor effort even by your standards.

I know full well this is bait, but I resent being accused of being in anyway supportive of the Iranian Regime so here you are: The Iranian regime's actions are appalling and it has very clearly committed numerous crimes against humanity in its efforts to suppress the protests in recent months...

Market Manipulation Monday?

The IRGC says they've not been in contact with Trump, direct or otherwise. Smells like bullshit market manipulation to me. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce35wke27ynt?post=asset%3Aa19495c2-b263-49b8-b04b-a8879eb9ab57#post

Probably, it was more how they got from Afghanistan to Iran that intrigued me considering this was well before any of this kicked off, that and the fact that someone thought posting that where potential employers can see was a good idea. They were just random recommended posts rather than anyone...

Military/Defence LinkedIn is a weird place, occasionally something completely mad breaks containment. I saw some posts from purportedly ex-SF people related to the inquiry into the SAS allegedly committing war crimes in Afghanistan a while ago saying how Starmer should be arrested for treason...

I'm sure they'll all be lining up to volunteer to help occupy Iran, after all it was part of the 'informal empire'.

It's going to be a long time before the UK accepts that, we still haven't managed to get over not having the empire.

Our government's been neglecting the Navy since forever and seemingly decided years ago that there would be no need to fight a conventional war ever again. All of the British armed forces have been shaped (cut to the bone) around the assumption that they'd just being bombing jihadis in the...

The fact Iran has missiles that can apparently reach Diego Garcia does raise questions about why the UK only has ship-borne ABM capabilities, particularly as they are fitted on the Navy's six Type 45 destroyers [1], where only three are in currently in active service. Having said that, not...

There are Iranian-backed militias active in Iraq [1] so I expect the tankers had their transponders off to minimise RF emissions that would assist in locating them. ADS-B transponders send out a lot of messages, and they very conveniently contain longitude, latitude, altitude, speed, heading...

Well yes, but when have minor details like that ever concerned Trump? After all, some genius appears to be proposing blockading an island that would require the blockading force to sail through Iran's blockade at the strait, that or we're about to witness the pound shop equivalent of Operation...

I guess this confirms the speculation around what Bessent was so worried about: https://www.axios.com/2026/03/20/iran-invasion-kharg-island-strait-hormuz

This rather torpedoes any of the post facto justifications for the war: They were going to build a nuclear weapon, so we've decided to help fund it They were going to attack us first, so we're helping them buy more missiles to keep attacking us We wanted regime change, so we're going to prop up...

The UK's planning to send aerial minesweeping drones rather than ships on the basis that 'sending ships, as requested over the weekend by the US president, could worsen the situation given the volatile nature of the war' [1]. This is as close to telling Trump to do one as the UK can get...

I guess JIRA for drone strikes was inevitable, but there's something quite depressing about seeing its realisation, particularly when satellite imaging UI looks as though it was carefully designed to resemble Battlefield 2's in-game map; I was half expecting to hear the 'enemy boat spotted'...
