America Has Not Been Told the Truth About Iran

Warships and missiles silhouetted against red sunset

The US told you Iran's military was destroyed, the Strait of Hormuz was under control, and losses were manageable. None of that is true. 42 aircraft lost, $5.14 billion in equipment destroyed, nearly 500 wounded — with officials admitting the real number is "well over 500." Iran's tiny "mosquito boats" humbled the world's strongest navy. F-14 Tomcats — supposedly destroyed — flew combat missions in June. Pentagon cost: $29 billion. Leaked internal estimate: $80–100 billion. This is the most expensive stalemate in modern military history.
