Four US helicopters lost, and two planes. Iran’s version.
Sun 8:42 pm +00:00, 5 Apr 2026Iran just confronted US Special Ops attempting to rescue the missing pilot following the historic downing of the F-15E fighter jet. Trump has responded and Prof. Mohammad Marandi joins to break down the latest developments in the war that is changing the world forever.
Marandi says these craft fell to local militia in a sparsely populated area. He also says they were not simply there to rescue a downed pilot.
Western media are skipping over the details of the bombing in Iran, he says. The targets are all civilian targets as all military assets are kept deep underground, all factories – and cannot be eliminated.
Bombing universities, hospitals, schools and all civilian infrastructure. They attack ambulances, truck drivers. Bridges. Kids on the street. Carpet bombing. Iran has placed tens of thousands of decoys. Much bombing is of decoys.
Trump’s a psychopath. Iranians from the diaspora are going on US media and advocating the bombing. Even they question Trump’s factual honesty.
Iran’s missile attacks continue. Coordinating with Hezbollah, Iraq, Yemeni, Gazans and others, the region is fighting back against the US. Iran is a very sophisticated country – Western media are ethnosupremacists who think Iran is an inferior culture. Iran’s missiles are better than US missiles. The people keep fighting even when top echelons were assassinated. No land forces have been landed. Western journalists do not report the fightback agaisnt the IDF by Hezbollah, or the others. Western journalists are not reporting the attacks on civilian infrastructure in Iran. If it continues Iran will repay in kind and destroy the Gulf States within a week.
India is facing a dark future because of Zionism, as is Brazil.
Israeli media is such a snowflake, and can’t handle any resistance to Israel. Yet nuggets of truth slip out, as the effectiveness of Iranian drones and missiles continue. The panic in Israel is growing, and notions of escalation. Israel doesn’t comprehend that the longer the war lasts, and the worse the economy gets around the world, the more they will be blamed. Huge upheaval is coming in the weeks ahead. How will an agry American public react to their economy tanking? Will the US voter tolerate the continuation of the support of Israel?
Trump’s words are complete nonsense. His actions are what matter. The facts on the ground are changing. No one wants to rely on him. Iran is 100% loyal to its own government. No one knows what is coming next. Unless Trump backs down soon. Heat is about to arrive in the Gulf region. Everyone will have to leave if critical infrastructure is destroyed…millions of people. BIllions of military equipment will be destroyed by the sand and the heat. The bases are all gone and the equipment is out in the desert.
The West is totally ignorant of what’s going on. Read the book Going To Teheran written by two US diplomats – which is a good book on Iran.
NEXT. One of the best situational reports comes from Wyatt Lim. He was in the Singaporean armed forces and doesn’t take sides in his reports, so he has greater objectivity. His version makes the most sense.

Scott Ritter explains aircraft got stuck at an airfield. He’s a bit unclear as to why the US was targeting an airfield. Was it a secret operation to get an airfield working inside Iran, that got compromised by the mission to find the downed airman? Wyatt Lim says the airstrip was selected as the downed navigator was about 12 kilometres away from it.

Alexander Mercouris adds his analysis. An A10 Groundhog was shot down. Another F-15 was damaged. As well as the two Hercules being lost and two Apache helicopters. No US personnel were lost according to US. The downed airman was recovered.
