Trump Says US Controls Iranian Airspace |
2025-06-18 |
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. As we should... [Regnum] Iran's airspace is now under the full control of the United States, US President Donald Trump said on June 17. ![]() "We now have complete and total control over Iranian airspace. Iran had good air surveillance and other defense equipment, and there was a lot of it, but it does not compare to what was designed, developed and manufactured in America," Trump wrote on his Truth Social page. He did not provide any other details. |

#5 ....If the Israelis really have run a stake through the heart of the Iranian ADS, it's possible there may be some old but very capable C-135 variants making incursions... Mike |

#4 Keeping in mind that Iran is 3 times the size of Ukraine - and the number of airframes the Israeli's can put airborne over that space at any given time - that doesn't sound like a statement with 100% confidence. |

#2 Sounds like the same old Middle Eastern story: Arab countries and Iran spend big bucks on Russian air defense systems and Israeli Air Force bombs those countries with impunity. Russia gets the gold and their clients get the shaft. |
