The national demand of Iraqis from the Al-Sudani government (Iraq's current Prime Minister): Take back Iraq's airspace from the United States

▪️ Exclusive report by Tasnim reporter in Baghdad

🔹 The people of Iraq believe that the country's airspace has freely become a passageway for American and Zionist military fighter jets and drones, which, in addition to attacking Iran, bomb the centers and headquarters of the Islamic resistance forces in Iraq, especially the Popular Mobilization Forces (Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi).

🔹 "Sabah Zanganeh," head of the Center for Strategic Studies Experts in Iraq: This issue directly undermines the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq and clearly indicates the weakening of the Iraqi government's authority over the country's airspace.

🔹 The painful point of this situation for every Iraqi citizen is the feeling that in confronting this violation of the country's national sovereignty, they can do nothing but condemn and express disgust.

🔹 Perhaps this is why in recent weeks, pressure on Iraqi officials, especially the government of Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, the Prime Minister of Iraq, to take practical measures to end this situation has increased.

🔹 At the same time, the Iraqi parliament, in addition to emphasizing the need to review the existing security agreement between Baghdad and Washington, has called for the purchase of powerful and efficient air defense systems from other countries such as Russia, China, and South Korea.

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. issued an order to pull from the Pacific stockpiles at the end of March, matching moves by the administration to move other assets previously deployed to the region, such as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system from South Korea.

The new report stated the decision to reallocate the missiles will leave only around 425 of the stealth JASSM-ER cruise missiles compared to a prewar inventory of 2,300 available for global use, enough for roughly 17 B-1B bombers on a single mission, according to Bloomberg.

The U.S. shifting these resources raises concerns about the future of conflict in the Pacific region, where the U.S. has built up considerable resources as deterrence against Chinese ambition in the region, including designs on Taiwan, although, reports recently indicated the U.S. has revised its assessment of China's plans for Taiwan, which could play into the decision to shift these resources.

The Pentagon has also reportedly pulled interceptor missiles for the ground-based, U.S.-made Patriot air defense system from other regions, including the Indo-Pacific.

Due to the attacks by the US and Israeli regimes on certain energy infrastructure, Iran has decided to block all diplomatic communication channels between Iran and the US. According to this decision, given Iran's upper hand on the battlefield, if the attacks on Iran escalate in the same manner, communication avenues will remain closed until the US congressional elections.

American special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 aircraft that was shot down over Iran.

"The operation was carried out by a specialized commando unit with heavy air cover, and all forces left Iran."

Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

"By the grace of God, the American enemy aircraft that was searching for the downed fighter pilot was destroyed by the warriors of Islam in the southern Isfahan region."

"Further updates will be announced subsequently"

However, things did hit a snag:

According to the latest New York Times updates, the mission encountered a significant complication at a remote landing site.

After the special operations commandos extracted a downed airman, the two transport planes intended for their evacuation became "stuck or disabled."

To prevent sensitive military technology from being captured by Iranian forces, U.S. troops blew up the two disabled aircraft.

Military commanders dispatched three additional aircraft to the base to retrieve all U.S. personnel and the airmen.

It is quite likely the 2 destroyed transport planes were HC-130Js (Hercules).

That's another $200 million down...

Here's the difference:

$2 million dollars for guaranteed passage.

Or

$2 million dollars to enter the Strait under fire knowing you are one drone or missile away from death.

Also in Kuwait, after the Iranian attack, a building housing the Kuwait Oil Corporation and the Ministry of Oil was set on fire.

US losses:

👱‍♀️According to Fox News, at least one plane involved in the evacuation was left in Iran. The C-130 Hercules got stuck in the mud - it was destroyed to prevent Iran from taking it.

About the pilot:

👱‍♀️The missing American pilot was injured, and there is no official information about his condition.

👱‍♀️He climbed several thousand feet up a mountain ridge and remained in a shelter there for almost 48 hours.

👱‍♀️The serviceman either used an encrypted method of communication or activated a beacon to help American forces locate him.

Details of the operation:

👱‍♀️Hundreds of American servicemen participated in the rescue of the downed American officer responsible for weapons systems, Fox News reports, citing sources. Elite special forces units were involved in the mission.

👱‍♀️According to a high-ranking official (the channel's source), the operation did not include a firefight between American and Iranian forces, but the US opened fire to prevent Iranian personnel from reaching the site.

Spokesperson of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters:

🔹The so-called rescue operation of the US Army, which was planned as a deception and immediate escape operation under the pretext of rescuing the pilot of their downed aircraft at an abandoned airport in southern Isfahan, ended in complete failure due to the timely presence of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

🔹Following previous intelligence, further investigations by experts present at the scene revealed that two C130 military transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters of the US Army were destroyed by the fulfillment of God's promise, the help of Almighty God, and the sacred wrath of the soldiers of Islam in the powerful Armed Forces, an action that increased the level of repeated failures of the US Army.

🔹It has been proven to all that the cowardly and bankrupt US Army in this imposed war is not considered a dominant and superior force against the divine will of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

🔹Following this proud and victorious operation, the defeated US president is trying to escape the scene of defeat through psychological warfare with panic and lies, and as before, continues his nonsense and deflections, although the reality on the ground clearly shows the upper hand of the powerful Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
