What recent event led to the destruction of 42 U.S. aircraft in Iran?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
42 aircrafts were destroyed costing over 29 billion dollars and it has been covered up by the trump regime donald trump is panicking as the true cost of the war is now being exposed and i think folks that is just the tip of the iceberg i think there are many more planes that were destroyed that are being covered up i think that there's a lot more monetary loss than that remember when donald trump's top generals testified and top military people testified and they said that the total cost of the war was 25 to 29 billion dollars this catastrophic war in iran Well, now we know that number was actually just the loss of aircraft, the 42 aircraft that we now know were actually lost. And there's a number of developments taking place right now, right by the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
Ben Meiselas 1:01
that should be giving everybody red alarms especially as we've been hearing that netanyahu more than ever is trying to restart this war because he absolutely does not want any letter of intent to take place between donald trump and iran but the united states has never been in a weaker position You know, we saw this report that just came out from the Congressional Research Service that talks about the US aircraft combat losses in Operation Epic Fury and the considerations for Congress on a bipartisan basis. Congress demanded that there be an investigation into the planes that were destroyed. And so what was determined, this is even preliminarily right now, at least 42 fixed wing or rotary wing aircraft

What are the implications of the U.S. aircraft losses on military strategy?

Ben Meiselas 1:50
including uncrewed aircraft like the MQ-9 Reapers were reportedly lost or damaged. Iran seized on this information and within hours they posted a list of all of these planes that were destroyed. from the F-15Es to an F-35 to an A-10 to the KC-135 Stratotankers. Remember those two Stratotankers that crashed over Iraq and the Trump regime said, oh, it was over friendly skies.

How did Iran respond to the news of the aircraft destruction?

Ben Meiselas 2:20
It had nothing to do with any types of air defense systems. Well, it had to do with air defense systems because we're now learning that it was actually Iraqi militias that were firing at the Stratotankers. And it forced them to make maneuvers that had them crash into each other.

What investigation has Congress demanded regarding the aircraft losses?

Ben Meiselas 2:37
And that's what took the lives of many of our service members over Iraq. And then it was covered up. And then I saw this report that Michael Bay, the Hollywood director, he wants to make a movie about the F-15 pilots who were rescued in Iran. And their story is a story of heroism. Who are they? Who are these people?

What are the current developments in the Strait of Hormuz?

Ben Meiselas 3:00
Donald Trump would have paraded these people out in front of everybody if they actually existed. I don't want to go down a conspiratorial rabbit hole, but we're just not supposed to even talk about it anymore. And now they're going to do a Hollywood propaganda movie. when they said that there were these two F-15 pilots who were saved and they were nowhere near the Isfahan nuclear facility, but they ended up right by the Isfahan nuclear facility. And then the US had to create a airfield and hundreds, if not thousands of special forces were there to rescue them. Okay, that story makes no sense at all. As I've said before, it's possible that F-15E pilots were shot down And then that was used as a pretext by the CIA and our intelligence committee to try to go and enter Isfahan, the nuclear facilities, to try to extract the enriched uranium there.
Ben Meiselas 3:54
Or maybe the entire story is made up. I mean, it's arguably possible a story is still true, but I just want to say, where are those pilots? And so, as I mentioned, there's a number of other very serious developments. So we see this massive AIS spoofing activity occurring right now over the Persian Gulf. AIS is Automatic Identification System. And these AIS signals are the tracking systems required on most commercial vessels. And one of the major warnings of imminent conflict are these AIS spoofing activities.

How is the U.S. military's presence perceived in the context of the Iran conflict?

Ben Meiselas 4:31
These patterns have repeatedly appeared across the Persian Gulf, particularly northwest of Dubai, people are pointing out. Over the past year, major ghost vessel surges in Persian Gulf tracking data have coincided with or preceded ship attacks, projectile incidents,
