"Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Iran’s ballistic missile strikes are down 86 percent from the first day of fighting, “with a 23 percent decrease just in the last 24 hours.” Iran’s one-way attack drone strikes are down 73 percent, he said."

Will be interesting to see how this all plays out over the next few weeks and months. There has been very little reporting from inside Iran I could find— the internet is cut but you’d think some major news org could get something out

^ yeah social media is pretty bad now too. Hard to know what’s real. From the Iranians I could find on Instagram they’re all happy khamenie is dead and are hoping for the best on what comes next. The IRGC recently killed somewhere between 10,000-30,000 protestors so trump/netyahu are basically being given a wide berth on collateral damage from the diaspora. If what they’re saying represents the sentiment within the country it gives me hope they would be able to come together and build a new government

If our bombs kill more than the 30k of the IRGC though this sentiment could change really quickly…

I'm pretty sure this exact same quote was said about Iraq and Afghanistan.

I assume that, eventually, we'll cut our losses and not finish what we've started.
