Geran231: Incredible footage showing the Iranian drone Shahed-136 hitting an American radar in Bahrain. We're talking about the AN/FPS-132 (UEWR) radar, which costs $1.1 billion. It has a range of 5,000 kilometers and is used for tracking ballistic missiles.β¦
Yesterday, it was reported that an AN/FPS-132 radar worth $1.1 billion was struck in Qatar, but the accompanying footage was of a Shahed slamming into a satellite radome in Bahrain. It turns out, however, that an AN/FPS-132 radar system (the triangular object in the first image) was struck by a drone in Qatar.
Military Chronicle reported:
A representative of the Qatari Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant Colonel Nasser Mohammed Al-Kubaisi, confirmed that the FPS132 early warning radar was hit by an Iranian drone (2nd image).
Also, according to him, the Qataris detected 65 ballistic missiles and shot down 63 of them.

Independents and Democrats are overwhelmingly against the military strikes in Iran. The same coalition were on board for military action against Iraq and Afghanistan.
Nearly 1 in 3 Republicans also disapprove of President Trump's decision to attack Iran.
ββ
So donβt tell me that the Democrats are somehow more moral. Everybody needs to wake up.

Oil prices could rise to $150 per barrel and higher amid the escalation around Iran, DW reports.
After the US and Israel's strikes on Iran, Brent oil rose by 10% in over-the-counter trading to around $80 per barrel. And experts predict further increases.
According to ICIS analyst Ajay Parmar, if the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz persists, oil trading could "open significantly closer to $100 per barrel and possibly exceed it". Analysts from RBC and Barclays agree with him.
However, Stephen Innes, managing partner of SPI Asset Management, gives a more pessimistic forecast and says that prices could rise to $120-150 per barrel.
Key participants of OPEC+ announced that from April, they will increase production not by 137,000 as previously planned, but by 206,000 barrels per day. However, Rystad Energy analyst Jorge Leon warned that this may not be enough to contain prices.
That an oil crisis is imminent due to the war in Iran, was previously reported by Reuters.

On the eve of the strike on Iran, U.S. officials envisioned a four- to five-day operation that would return a weakened Tehran to the negotiating table. According to one source, an American official conveyed an even more immediate proposal. Through a mediator, apparently Italy, he suggested reaching a ceasefire agreement today or tomorrow. Iran rejected the idea outright.

I want to see this asshole go to Iran and be torn apart by an angry mob. Selling this lie that the people of Iran want Pahlavi in power and that there will be a quick transition to a pro-western democracy is something only a deluded boomer could believe. The Fox News audience is retarded and the network is well aware of this.
