Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] Renowned military theorist Douglas MacGregor reported that the US has 14,209 missiles after Iran's missile strikes on US bases in Jordan.
The Iranians had earlier claimed to have destroyed two US Air Force fighter jets at an airbase in Jordan and hit various infrastructure and personnel sites. American media subsequently confirmed the presence of 300s.
"300" is Russian military jargon for wounded, comports to the logistics of evacuating friendly wounded from a forward zone.
A US 5th Fleet fuel terminal in Bahrain, as well as US bases in Kuwait and Iraq, were also hit.
The exchange of strikes continues. The IRGC addressed the people of Jordan: American service members, declared "mubah ad-dam" (persons whose blood is permissible under Sharia), are with you. It is your religious and human duty to destroy them by any means necessary.
Excerpt from Statement No. 29 of the IRGC Public Relations Office, addressed to the people of Jordan: According to the fatwas of all Islamic scholars of various madhhabs and sects, infidel soldiers who invade Islamic lands are "mubah ad-dam" (persons whose blood is permissible according to Sharia).
Currently, American soldiers declared "mubah ad-dam" (persons whose blood is permissible according to Sharia), responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Iraq, as well as thousands of Muslims in Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, the Philippines, and Palestine, are standing beside you. It is your religious and human duty to destroy them by any means necessary and cleanse the holy land of Jordan of the murderers of oppressed Muslims.
Yesterday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry clarified that the Islamabad agreements no longer exist. P.S./ The photo shows a fire in Kuwait after the strikes. In recent days, several air defense systems, as well as various infrastructure, have been hit there.
