LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Iran is close to a deal with China to purchase anti‑ship cruise missiles, according to six people with knowledge of the negotiations, just as the United States deploys a vast naval force near the Iranian coast ahead of possible strikes on the Islamic Republic.
The deal for the Chinese‑made CM‑302 missiles is near completion, though no delivery date has been agreed, the people said. The supersonic missiles have a range of about 290 kilometres and are designed to evade shipborne defences by flying low and fast. Their deployment would significantly enhance Iran’s strike capabilities and pose a threat to U.S. naval forces in the region, two weapons experts said.

Iran has a right to defend itself.

We have a right to punch hard before they can.

Actually we don’t- Do people not know this?

This sounds just rape-y and abusive enough to be something Trump said. Is this a quote from the Epstein administration?

I hope it does. I meant it to.

Suicidal empathy no more.

What is up with all the Republican legislators insisting this isn't a war? I saw Markwaynemullin saying this yesterday, and Johnson was doing the same today. Meanwhile, Trump and Kegsbreath have called it a war a bunch of times. Kegsbreath went on a whole diatribe about how "war is hell" yesterday.

How did such a dude-bro become SecDef? Between the too cool military jargon and lingo- “force multiplier, lethality, warrior ethos…,” and the fact that I KNOW he drives a lifted Jeep, with Yeti stickers and drinks Black Riffle coffee, Hegseth is a caricature of what MAGA thinks is military cool.

He thinks using military jargon/lingo makes himself sound legit/cool, but it comes across as so cringey.

“Cringey!” That’s the word! My daughter cringes when I use the word- apparently it’s out, but that is Hegseth- cringey!

You can substitute corny for cringy. He's trying too hard, and he comes across as a complete cornball.

“maximum authorities!”

Department of War and its warfighters (instead of 'soldiers' since forever). Just so corny.

+1 Can I ask when “warfighters” became a thing? I’ve never heard that before and now even Elizabeth Warren is using the term.

It's been a thing for at least 25 years now. I think it came into vogue after 9/11.

Different branches call themselves different things, this gets it all. Warfighters instead of airmen, marines, soldiers, sailors…etc.

What do we even want out of this?? Such a freaking disaster- but I guess the real leader of the world, China, will get some credit!

Yes. The Ukrainians know how to deal with these drones but the US military has cut all ties with Ukraine. Therefore US military personnel die. The British have not cut tires and have implemented a system to protect their people.

The drone manufacturing facilities in Iran have not been hit by US or Israelis. The US does not want to cut off Russia’s drones supply and lessen the attacks on Ukraine. Also the US wants the Arab States to suffer with the hope that they will enter the war. The Arabs states have very little military capabilities.

This is why the US is not restock interceptors in Arab countries. Only Israel gets restocked. The Arabs should run out of US supplied interceptor by next week. After that Iran can target the oil infrastructure. That could be 80 million barrels a day taken out of the market driving oil over $200 a barrel if you could buy it. That would cause a world wide economic crash.

And that's how you'd legit win a Nobel Peace Prize so doubt that's going to happen...

Iran: we need to destroy Israel to bring on the Messiah

US current government: we need to destroy Iran so that Israel will be destroyed and we can bring on the Messiah.
