  4. 🔘 US Special Forces Enter Iran, Engage in Clashes — Reports

    Local media report that US special forces have entered southwestern Iran and are engaged in firefights with Iranian forces during a search-and-rescue operation for a downed F-15 pilot.

    ➡Clashes are reported in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces, with some suggesting the operation could signal preparations for a larger ground incursion (province is north of Khusestan and south east of Lorestan).

    I have not read of heard anything on Iranian sources. There has been reports of paratroopers enter the area, and 3 helicopters who lefter after receiving heavy fires from ground.

  9. "Special forces are both part of the state and deliberately unbound from many of its rules. This ambiguity is useful but at scale it poses nagging questions of accountability and resources. How to pay for regular, standing armies was, after all, the question that historically gave rise to parliaments. Who, then, oversees and pays for an irregular war fought off the books? Not for nothing, first the French and then the CIA learned to make the drug lords of the Golden Triangle into the paymasters of their paramilitaries. As the Iran-Contra affair of the 1980s and the opium economy of Afghanistan reveal, America’s secret state knows a thing or two about narcoterrorism.

    The current special forces establishment grew out of an effort to bring military discipline and some degree of Congressional oversight to this murky world. Eagerly supported by a bipartisan consensus, the special forces are today more lethal than ever and, though covert, also the most visible and culturally “relevant” branch of the US military. Images of muscle-bound Navy Seals and Delta Force make endless fodder for Hollywood, social media and computer games. The paramilitary antics of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bear their cultural imprint.

    Of course, the fact that the US maintains a special forces establishment the size of the British Army does not by itself explain any given operation. But what it should rule out is pearl-clutching. Far from being unthinkable, what the Trump administration did in Venezuela has been imagined over and over again. And, as for the legality, international law has always been entwined with the chosen tools of liberal warfare — sanctions, blockade and punitive special operations. If gun-toting special operators appear as a modern Frankenstein, this is our monster."
