  7. #US says it's striking targets in #Iran as hostilities flare again after month with little #military action

    CENTCOM said Tuesday that the strikes “follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz & against American service members deployed to the region.”

  8. Leaders of the US European Command, the US Pacific Command & the US Southern Command, along with the Navy’s top admiral, responded with what is characterized in the #SDOB as a “non-concur,” those familiar with the assessment said — meaning they disagree with the secretary’s order to extend their forces but will execute it nevertheless.

  9. The Aug 14 #SDOB directs some troops deployed in the #MiddleEast to remain there through September & some others into 2027, said those familiar with the document. The prospect of extending those forces further compelled #military leaders to voice their concern, these people said.

  10. The #US #defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves #PatriotMissile interceptors, which can shoot down #Russia’s high-speed ballistic missiles. The #NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among US & NATO forces in #Europe. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive #military matters.

  11. The strikes are believed to be the first since June 21. It was not clear why the strikes in the Caribbean & eastern Pacific paused….

  21. The #FAA requires all active aircraft to be registered with the agency, with exceptions that include periods of ownership transfer & “aircraft of the national defense forces of the United States,” according to federal #law.​
    
That registration number had been reserved by a company that has no obvious website & lists its address as a mailbox at a UPS store in Virginia, records show.

  26. Radio communications & flight-tracking data…show the plane, a Cessna Citation Longitude, arriving in El Salvador from Tennessee with a crew of 6 in November.
    
It flew under a #US registration number, according to radio transmissions, & taxied to a #military section of the airport upon landing. Available #FAA documents show no aircraft registered to that number.

  31. …Some #US #intelligence officials saw Israel’s sharing of the warning about threats to #Trump’s life as designed less to inform than to influence the president’s decision-making & US #policy in the region, a current & a former US official said.
    #Israel views #Iran as by far its most urgent near-term threat.

  32. The meeting comes as both face growing pressures at home. #Netanyahu is up for reelection & is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with #Trump. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular #war that has wreaked economic havoc & driven prices higher ahead of #midterm #elections this November.

  33. …Since the renewed hostilities began, the #Pentagon has provided even less information about #military strategy & casualties than it did during the first phase of the conflict. The Pentagon has not held a press briefing about the #war since early May, & officials at #US CENTCOM have stopped providing casualty updates to reporters.

  34. The #US & #Israel launched the #war in #Iran on Feb 28, & 14 troops were killed in the initial waves of fighting. Washington & Tehran agreed to a ceasefire in April & then signed an interim deal to end the war in mid-June.

    It was short-lived.… #Trump soon declared that the ceasefire was over.

    The #Pentagon system’s new “Overseas Operations” category says it tallies casualties starting July 7.

  35. By Wednesday, the #IranWar figures in the #Pentagon’s system fell back to 14 dead & 420 wounded. However, a #US official told AP at the time that the actual number of wounded personnel in the war had actually grown to well over 500 troops.

    The Pentagon’s top spokesman, Sean Parnell, took to social media that day to assert that the reported drop was a “temporary data disruption.”

  36. Adding further confusion, when the #Pentagon announced 2 of the deaths in Jordan, it said the troops were supporting the #US mission to counter the Islamic State group. The other 2 were announced in press releases simply as supporting overseas operations.

    #Trump confirmed the total, writing in a Truth Social post on Tuesday that the “Iran Military Conflict” had claimed 18 lives.

  37. It appeared to reflect that 4 soldiers had been killed since fighting resumed despite the signing of an interim ceasefire deal last month — 3 on a base in Jordan that was struck July 17 by Iranian ballistic missiles & drones, & 1 in Iraq a day later during a controlled detonation of an Iranian drone.

  38. #Pentagon press secretary Joel Valdez argued Thursday that the drop in casualty figures in the online system was not an effort to hide the growing human toll of the #war but rather the result of “anomalies” & “temporary data disruptions” that were being resolved “imminently.”

    As late as Tuesday, the website was reporting the war’s official toll as 18 killed & 482 wounded.
