Are they lying about or delaying the info about US casualties?

The large US base in Bahrain has suffered extensive damage. Other bases in the region have been hit as well. Unconfirmed rumors exist about the USS Abraham Lincoln being hit. It seems unlikely to me that only 3 service members have perished so far given all of the video footage of missiles raining down on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The absence of a live address to the nation from the warmonger and no admin officials on the Sunday shows certainly suggest they are doing everything they can to prevent updates from going out.

Bodybags with US military personnel may be the only way his cult turns on him, if escalating gas prices don’t do it first.

The video of the 2020 fire on The USS Bonhomme Richard in San Diego that is claimed to be the Lincoln or the images from a video game that are being claimed to be actual footage?

In Australia that watch US media and say we are getting only part of the story.

For tsf to say there will be more deaths*, you know something has to be going on.

*he calls them casualties.

For decades. If we last that long. We haven't even begun to feel the repercussions of this yet. We are being lied to about the damage to Israel and Jerusalem. And by our military.
They keep referring to the Ayatollah as a dictator but that wasn't what he was. It is more nuanced than that. They have detailed plans of succession and contingencies.
It wasnt like Hitler or Mussolini or them. I don't know what they expected to come from that. I think that they believed if they killed their leader that the government would collapse or result in infighting for power but that isn't the plan, their Constitution is their plan. They already named a new Ayatollah but are keeping his identity secret but Internet is undefeated and has their guesses.

Point I'm making is that they were prepared for this and I don't think the US knew that and Israel didn't tell them either. Because they knew. Their Constitution is a publicly available document. The structure of their government is public knowledge.

We were not prepared.
People are dying. They are doing billions of dollars in damage. Likely destroying invaluable pieces of history.
Hopefully they will tell us soon.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will give a press conference Monday at 8 a.m. Eastern time, the Defense Department posted on X. It will mark the first time the two leaders have held a press conference since the U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Caine and other Pentagon officials raised concerns to President Trump about an extended military campaign against Iran, advising that war plans being considered carry risks including U.S. and allied casualties, depleted air defenses and an overtaxed force....

On conditions in the Middle-East. What is not said, however, speaks volumes.

The fact that the Sunday talk shows had no Trump officials says the news is not good. The fact that the administration has not denied that the Abraham Lincoln has been hit also speaks loudly.

Is it poor communication skills or very bad news? It is likely some of each. But the degree to which we are in the dark does not bode well. Our troops deserved better.
