🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Historical US Failures Against Iran: How America Keeps Losing to the "Lesser" Enemy
For decades, Washington has acted as if its military power is unstoppable. However, several US administrations learned the hard way that Iran doesn’t fight back according to plan.
🔸Operation Eagle Claw (1980) was meant to rescue hostages. Instead, eight helicopters met mechanical failure in a sandstorm, leading to a fiery collision at Desert One that killed eight American servicemen. Iran displayed the wreckage for decades, and the debacle birthed USSOCOM.
🔸The RQ-170 Sentinel (2011) was the CIA's stealth crown jewel, until Iran captured it. Tehran claimed they spoofed its GPS and landed it nearly intact. The technology gap suddenly vanished; Iran reverse-engineered it into the Shahed 171 now striking American allies.
🔸Naval Humiliation (2016) saw two US patrol boats drift into Iranian waters near Farsi Island. Ten American sailors were detained, filmed on their knees with hands on heads. The footage went viral before their release.
🔸The Global Hawk (2019) was a $220 million stealth drone flying at 40,000 feet, 170 kilometers away. Iran's indigenous Khordad 3rd system tracked it, targeted it, and turned it into falling scrap. The Pentagon claimed international airspace; the wreckage suggested otherwise.
🔸Operation Midnight Hammer (2025) unleashed America's most powerful bunker busters, 14 MOPs, on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The Pentagon declared "severe damage." But satellite revealed centrifuges still spinning, stocks possibly moved. Damaged, not destroyed and still working.
None of this operations achieved their stated objectives. The pattern spans decades and administrations, from Carter's desert debacle to Trump's ineffective strikes.
Now, Washington is preparing for another operation against Iran, but the question is if this will become a new chapter in a growing archive of overreach, miscalculation, and failure.

🇲🇽 CARTEL - WHAT TO EXPECT NOW!?
After the Mexican government took out CJNG boss “El Mencho”, there was a wave of violence and uncertainty about what would happen next.
Now everything is clear:
1) Why the violence happened
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (“Mencho”) was captured alive, then flown to Mexico City for medical treatment. He died en route from wounds sustained during the arrest.
Unaware of his death, the cartel demanded that the forces who captured him surrender and release Mencho. This triggered the initial violent reaction.
They went out to blackmail the government with violence.
2) Why the violence stopped
The government deployed the army and fought back effectively, but that alone doesn’t fully explain the complete halt of the violence. The cartel could still have continued ambushes, drone attacks, kidnappings, etc. to pressure the government.
The violence stopped because there was no longer any incentive to fight. Mencho was dead. There was nothing to gain and everything to lose. So no reason to fight and die for nothing.
3) What’s next?
The cartel now has a new boss with a clear incentive: make money and run a smooth operation.
He has zero reason to confront the government. Any escalation would invite a violent response that could destroy the already weakened cartel before he fully consolidates control. Especially after the government mobilized and deployed the army on the region.
The new boss will focus on keeping cash flowing, maintaining the organization’s unity, and preventing splinter-rival cartels from forming during this vulnerable period.
-> In short, the conflict is over. The cartel will now prioritise earning money and holding power in the region.
