Last week, I catalogued a number of filters — crazy, stupid, false, impotent, and blind — via which true accounts still present a misleading picture of the Iran war. A critical American radar was damaged in an Iranian attack on Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base on March 1, a new satellite image has revealed. He points to a number of ways, including limiting what DOD is counting as Iran War casualties and delaying the update of casualty figures, that DOD is low-balling casualty numbers. Hundreds of U.S. personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the U.S. launched a war on Iran just over a month ago. DOD has deployed rescue teams to southern Iran, so it is clear Iran is telling the truth about this downing.
