🇮🇷❌🇦🇪 — IRGC announces shooting down a MQ-1 "Predator" MALE UAV above Isfahan province.

MQ-1s were retired by the US Air Force in 2018 and replaced by the MQ-9 "Reaper", with only one MQ-1 known to still be operated by the USAF. The UAE Air Force has MQ-1s in its inventory. It is highly likely the shot down UAV was operated by the United Arab Emirates.

🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🇧🇭 The U.S. Navy evacuated the Manama Naval Support Activity Bahrain, the HQ of the U.S. 5th Fleet

The Pentagon has confirmed 1,500 sailors, families, and pets have been relocated from Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bahrain to Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia.

NSA Bahrain is (was) the headquarters of the U.S. 5th Fleet. It was struck multiple times on 28 February, the opening day of Operation Epic Fury, and several times afterwards. Satellite imagery confirmed at least seven structures destroyed in the first week alone, including communications infrastructure and warehouses.

Sailors are arriving in Norfolk with what fit in a backpack. Community groups were called in to provide basic toiletries.

📝: The last time the U.S. was forced to evacuate the HQ of a U.S. Navy fleet was in 1942 when the Imperial Japanese Army invaded the Philippines and was forced to destroy and abandon U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay.

🇺🇸⚡️ — Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has removed top Army leaders, including Gen. Randy George, amid concerns that Daniel Driscoll could replace him, according to NYP.

➡️ Hegseth is increasingly wary of Driscoll’s influence—particularly his ties to JD Vance—and has targeted officials seen as aligned with him.

➡️ Although he cannot currently remove Driscoll, tensions are escalating, with speculation that Sean Parnell could step in if Driscoll is pushed out.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Two U.S. HC-130J Combat King II rescue tankers departed Stuttgart Army Airfield and are heading toward the Middle East, strongly indicating the search for the missing F-15E crew member is still active and likely expanding.

The HC-130J is specifically used to support combat search-and-rescue, especially by refueling HH-60/Pave Hawk rescue helicopters in flight.
