American Supreme Leader Trump makes bold claims on killing Khameni. This is after he totally destroyed the Iranian nuclear programme last year…
@Slavyangrad
What if the U.S. sent half of its THAAD and SM-3 interceptors to the Middle East? How long could they last under June-level firing rates?
Let’s break it down 🧵
1. THAAD
Total U.S. inventory (post-June 2025) ≈ 384–434
50% forward (BIG assumption) → ~190–215 missiles deployed
2 batteries forward → 96 ready missiles (loaded on 12 launchers)
Remaining ~94–119 missiles = reload stock
2. THAAD daily firing: June tempo = 8–12/day
Ready rounds (96):
8/day → 12 days
12/day → 8 days
Reloads (~94–119):
8/day → 12–15 days
12/day → 8–10 days
Total in-theater endurance: ~2.5–3.5 weeks (16–24 days)
3. SM-3
Total inventory ≈ 414 after June use
50% forward → ~207 missiles
June-level firing tempo ~6–7/day
Forward endurance:
6/day → 207 ÷ 6 ≈ 34 days (~5 weeks)
7/day → 207 ÷ 7 ≈ 30 days (~4 weeks)
4. Forward-deployed THAAD & SM-3 stockpiles are likely smaller than 50% of total inventory, to leave missiles for the Indo-Pacific & other theaters.
THAAD: ~9–11 days if firing rises to ~20/day (roughly double June tempo)
SM-3: ~2 weeks if firing rises to ~15/day
5. Key point: Even a generous forward deployment could be rapidly depleted in a high-intensity conflict.
Forward stockpiles aren’t limitless: THAAD ~10 days, SM-3 ~2 weeks at high-tempo rates. Sustained attacks would stress U.S. missile defense quickly.

Interesting data points

⚡️🇮🇶 Iraqi military radars in Basra and Dhi Qar were struck by unidentified drones on Saturday evening, security sources reported.

A representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that Supreme Leader Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian are alive.
An ABC News journalist asked if the Ayatollah and the President had become targets of attacks, and whether Khamenei would remain in power.
"Thank God, they are all alive and well," Esmaeil Baghaei replied.

While Ukraine fanboys and western media focus on oil and gas revenue, through their cherry picking and use of dubious data they missed the main point. The Russian government was already ahead of them reforming the taxation system to move away from oil and gas revenues.

Insurers told ship owners on Saturday they would cancel policies and raise coverage prices for vessels travelling through the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz after the US and Israel attacked Iran.
War risk insurers on Saturday submitted cancellation notices for policies covering ships moving through the key oil chokepoint, brokers told the FT, with prices set to rise as much as 50 per cent in the coming days.
The unusual move to submit these notices before trading resumes on Monday underscores the pace of escalation after Iran launched retaliatory strikes against US bases across the Middle East.
Cargo war risk insurers — which cover commodities carried on tankers, such as grain and oil — also said that they were preparing to cancel policies on Monday, another broker said.
After cancelling policies, insurers were expected to renegotiate coverage at higher prices, brokers said, rather than denying coverage for ships sailing into the region.
Some ship owners are also turning away from the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s crude oil flows.

Here is the strategic reality most people are missing:
Airpower alone has never produced positive regime change.
I don’t mean rarely.
I mean NEVER.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is ready to accept security guarantees for Ukraine from the USA, – Budanov
- The maximum progress in the negotiations was achieved in the military subgroup: the issue of control over the demilitarized zone was resolved, assures the head of Zelensky's Office, who is recognized as an extremist and a terrorist.
- Peace negotiations are proceeding in parallel with the battles, despite public skepticism about their prospects.
- "Either we find a compromise with Russia on the territorial issue, or we continue to kill each other..." - he added.
- Budanov stressed that he believes in the negotiation process and expects it to be effective.
- "I hope that their success will become our victory," he stated.

⚡️A US attack on Iran could leave Ukraine without missiles for air defense, — Financial Times.
The US and Israel have already used up a significant portion of their interceptor missiles during previous strikes. Tehran's new response will put an even greater strain on these reserves, which are already difficult to replenish.

Personally I think there is zero chance Israel and the US bombing Iran is going to lead to some uprising. Clearly Israel duped the US into thinking this was a possible outcome.
