🇮🇷🇺🇸🇰🇼⚡️ — An Iranian F-5 pilot involved in the March 1st strike on Camp Buehring in Kuwait says the mission was flown at an exceptionally low altitude—below 50 feet, far beneath the typical training altitude of around 500 feet—to avoid detection by air defenses.

The pilot said the crew was aware of Patriot missile batteries, layered air-defense systems, AWACS surveillance aircraft, and Kuwaiti F-18 patrols protecting the area and therefore maintained complete radio silence throughout the mission.

According to the pilot, the aircraft flew so low over the Gulf that it passed between two ships with their decks positioned above the jet.

After entering Kuwaiti airspace, the pilot said they encountered dense infrastructure, including power lines, refineries, and military facilities, but deliberately bypassed those targets and proceeded directly to Camp Buehring.

The pilot stated that the aircraft maintained high speed and very low altitude until reaching the base, where the bombing was carried out successfully.

🇺🇸🇮🇳🇵🇭⚡- The US is planning on replacing India with the Philippines in the QUAD strategic partnership, Foreign Policy reports.

The partnership began to fade due to India's poor commitments, including failing to meet US demands in curbing illegal and sanctioned Russian oil, a deterioration of relations with Washington last year, and failing to host the QUAD 2025 summit.

Note, India's replacement with the Philippines is something the so-called 'realists' at the Quincy Institute have long argued for.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!), and then finally hit “pay dirt” when Barack Hussein Obama became President. He was not only good to them, he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other Allies, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and 1.7 Billion Dollars in green cash, flown into Tehran, was handed to them on a silver platter. Every Bank in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland was emptied out — It was so much money that when it arrived, the Iranian Thugs had no idea what to do with it. They had never seen money like this, and never will again. It was taken off the plane in suitcases and satchels, and the Iranians couldn’t believe their luck. They finally found the greatest SUCKER of them all, in the form of a weak and stupid American President. He was a disaster as our “Leader,” but not as bad as Sleepy Joe Biden! For 47 years the Iranians have been “tapping” us along, keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now GREAT AGAIN Country. They will be laughing no longer!" - President Trump on Truth Social.

🇦🇪🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️- "The United Arab Emirates carried out dozens of airstrikes against Iran beginning in the early days of the war and continuing through the day after the April cease-fire was announced.

The attacks were conducted in coordination with the U.S. and Israel, both of which provided intelligence,

They included targets on Qeshm and Abu Musa islands in the Strait of Hormuz; Bandar Abbas; the oil refinery on Lavan island in the Persian Gulf; and the Asaluyeh petrochemical complex

Some of those strikes targeted Iranian energy facilities in response to Tehran’s attacks on U.A.E. oil and gas infrastructure, some of the people said. The Asaluyeh strike, carried out with Israel, garnered significant international backlash and led the U.S. to ask Israel to stop striking energy facilities." - Wall Street Journal.
