The third day of the US/Israel war on Iran had suddenly become a hard one: It was no more optimism, nor speck and span. On day three America lost four US soldiers not to mention the tens of injuries in United States military bases in the region and this is in addition to the aerial disaster involving the dawning of three F-15 and F-18 fighter jets by Iranian air defenses or mysterious “friendly fire” in Kuwait. The last was a major financial pang for each piece costs around $100 million at today’s prices. Quickly the strain appeared on the face of US president Donald Trump. Previously he wanted a “quick fix” first saying the war would end quickly in days or possibly a week.

Now he is saying the war could take as long as four to five weeks and even longer. The Iranians say despite the mass attacks on their country they are in no hurry to pack it in and are preparing for a long military haul. The sudden dismay on Trump’s face suddenly blared the cameras with the dawning of the four US jets in a single day. For the past 48 hours he has been smiling saying the Iranians would get back to the negotiating table and accepting a nuclear deal because in the early hours of Saturday morning – the begining of the air strikes – US/Israeli jets bombed the compound of Ayatoallah Ali Khameini and killed the supreme leader of Iran and a host of the country’s military leaders. But today everything is changing.

“Signs of Defeat”: US Chief of Staff Confesses to Domestic Opinions: Expect More Losses… and the War with Iran Won’t End Soon! 🔴

🔥 In a statement reflecting the shock felt within the closed-door military circles of the Pentagon, the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff admitted that the armed forces must prepare for “more losses.” This official admission came after a bloody period that saw the deaths of four US soldiers and injuries to dozens more at bases in the Middle East, in addition to an aerial disaster involving the downing of three F-15 and F-18 fighter jets by Iranian air defenses or mysterious “friendly fire.”

⛔️ “Attacking the Giants”: Implications of the Latest US Military Warning:

📌 The phrase “not overnight” is a tacit admission of the failure of the “lightning strike” plan promoted by the Trump administration. Iran has proven its endurance and ability to inflict painful losses on the US elite, forcing the military leadership to engage in “expectation management,” which has disappointed the American public.

📌 The downing of three advanced aircraft (F-15s and F-18s) in a single day represents a devastating blow to the prestige of the Air Force. This means that American air superiority is now seriously threatened, and that Iranian monitoring systems have succeeded in deciphering the codes of American aircraft and targeting them with a precision that Washington did not anticipate.

📌 The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is attempting to prepare the American public for the scale of expected losses in the Middle East. Talk of “more losses” is a political prelude to requesting massive budgets or perhaps to justifying a tactical retreat on some fronts after American bases became “easy targets” for Iranian missiles.

🔴 In conclusion, the “Epic of Wrath” has begun to take a highly dangerous turn. Washington now realizes that confronting Tehran is no picnic, and that the Iranian arsenal is capable of taking bases, fighter jets, and soldiers out of service in moments. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s statement is a “death certificate” for the idea of ​​a swift victory and an official declaration of the start of a war of attrition that could change the face of the American military forever.

⛔️ In your opinion, will the American public tolerate “more coffins” for a war that the military describes as long and difficult, or will Trump be forced to change his strategy under the pressure of losses? Share your analysis with us.
