1 Amazing security breach for a civilian involved in Iran to leave her passport so the Iranians can find it.

This passport was found at site of 2x C130 and 3x helicopter incident, not F15 crash site. Moran Sagron is a mechanical engineer that specializes in nuclear technologies, she is not a pilot.

More evidence US was operating a forward operating site. https://t.co/PwzeF06Vo9

4 There was another ID for “Major Amanda Ryder” allegedly found at the site. It’s odd that there would be two females on an insertion of this type, that the team wouldn’t have gone in sterile and that the id’s would have been left behind. If it’s an outright lie it’s an unusual choice and if the ids were actually left behind that’s even odder

6 Per "Dances with Bears" aka John Helmer: On May 9, 2014, Amanda M. Ryder received her Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) commission as a second lieutenant in the USAF. Her home was recorded as in Vienna, Virginia, although at the time she was studying at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. In July 2023 she was nominated for promotion to major and this was confirmed by the US Senate on July 27, 2023.
