    CSIS: Operation Epic Fury cost $11.3 billion in its first 6 days. By Day 12, the estimated total reached $16.5 billion. The war is now burning through approximately $500 million per day.

    The biggest single cost: munitions. 319 Tomahawk missiles, 786 JASSMs, 414 HARM missiles, 158 THAAD interceptors and 83 SM-3s fired in the first six days alone. THAAD deliveries are zero in FY2026 and production doesn’t resume until April 2027.

    Equipment losses confirmed so far: 3 F-15s, 1 KC-135, 11 Reaper drones, 1 THAAD radar — $1.7 billion in hardware.

    The Pentagon has already asked Congress for over $200 billion to finance the war. These estimates don’t include Israel resupply, higher fuel costs across the DoD, or future veterans’ benefits.

    The $11.3 billion figure the DoD shared with Congress excludes the military buildup before the war even started.

    🇮🇷❌🇺🇸In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

    Whoever transgresses against you, transgress against him in the same manner as he transgressed against you

    The lying and terrorist President of the United States, killer of children, claims that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps intends to target water desalination plants in the region and disturb the people of the regional countries. Firstly, this is an aggressive army against the American people who started the war by killing children and sacrificing 180 children in elementary schools, and so far have targeted five water infrastructure facilities, including a water desalination plant on Qeshm Island, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has not done any of these actions yet. Secondly, this is a terrorist President of the United States, killer of children, who threatened to attack Iran’s power plants, and naturally, attacks on electricity will disrupt many humanitarian services such as hospitals, emergency centers, water networks, and desalination plants, which is an inhumane act.

    What we have done is declare our decision that if there is an attack on power plants, Iran will respond with retaliatory action targeting the power plants of the occupying regime and power plants in regional countries that supply US bases with electricity, as well as economic, industrial, and energy infrastructure that Americans have shares in. Do not doubt that we will do this. You have targeted our hospitals and we did not do it, you have targeted our emergency centers and we did not do it, you have targeted our schools and we did not do it, but if you strike electricity, we will strike electricity. We are determined to respond to every threat at the same level that creates deterrence balance, and we will do it. America does not know our capabilities and will see them on the battlefield.

    And victory is only from God Almighty

    🇺🇸⚠️ The US State Department has issued a Worldwide Caution alert, advising Americans everywhere to exercise increased caution.

    Key line: “Groups supportive of Iran may target US interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world.”

    The government that put Americans in danger is now warning Americans about the danger it created. Go team go!

    Resistance Trench TG tally of US/Israel destruction in Iran:
    67,414 Homes
    9,218 commercial units
    236 healthcare centers

    Source: https://t.me/RezistanceTrench/60850

    My personal opinion:

    Even Western warmongers in Europe, through their imperial conquests from before to after the industrial revolution, have learnt that every non-combatant you kill creates 10 more combatants because nothing steels resolve against invaders like murdered innocents.

    Which is why England, bastards as they were and are, are famous for their speaking three-sides out of their mouths and pitting brother against brother, not genociding every land they touch.

    Even Americans, as heedless to lessons of history as they have been, were forced to learn that lesson in the Gulf wars since the 1990s, and their own generals have written about that.

    It is only Israel, and their puppet strings on Americans, who learnt of that fact, and decided that means they must turn every war into genocide instead. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword, and they will only draw the fate they think they should enact on every other people back onto themselves.

    🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 U.S. troops are increasingly uneasy about Donald Trump’s Iran strategy as the conflict enters its fourth week. - HuffPost

    Interviews with active-duty personnel and reservists point to rising stress, low morale, and doubts about the mission. Some troops are reportedly considering leaving the military, while requests for conscientious objector status have surged.

    A military official treating evacuated personnel said defenses are inadequate and Iranian missile and drone strikes are already taking a toll. At least 13 U.S. troops have been killed and over 200 wounded. The official warned a ground invasion would be “an absolute disaster,” adding there is no clear plan.

    Frustration is turning political. Some troops say openly they do not want to “die for Israel” or be used as leverage in a wider U.S.-Israeli campaign. Others point to the lack of a clear objective and poor planning.

    Support groups report a spike in outreach from service members looking for ways to refuse deployment.

    The February strike on a school in Minab killed more than 170 civilians, many of them children — a breaking point for some troops. Combined with growing skepticism toward U.S. policy in the Middle East, especially among younger troops, this is fueling resistance.

    While there is no mass exodus, morale issues and internal dissent could undermine the campaign and signal deeper shifts inside the U.S. military.

    🇮🇷 A supermarket in Iran has posted a handwritten sign on its door:

    “No worries, if you need something, take it. After the war, bring the money.”

    The people of Iran are under bombardment, under sanctions, under economic collapse, and they are feeding each other.

    🇮🇳: 🇮🇷 | There are reports of a massive wave of donations from Iran supporters in India, led by Kashmir, which has been at the forefront of contributions totaling millions of dollars. Across other states, cities, and villages, people are pouring whatever they can to support Iran, saying it is only a portion of their burning hearts, yet they act upon the guidance of Imam Khamenei. A report from a correspondent confirms that in the village of Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, families in Gauri Khalsa village have donated bronze dowries, heirlooms, and jewelry inherited from their mothers for Iran’s cause. There are reports of hundreds of thousands of rupees being transferred to the Iranian embassy from across the country, with contributions coming from people of all religions, alongside Shia movements. Record donations include selling jewelry, land plots, bikes, mobile phones, and other valuable items.

    Know and be aware: If Iran’s power plants are targeted, the response will not only be at the same level but far beyond. As observed today, all information and precise coordinates of key water and electricity infrastructure in the occupied territories are fully stored in Iran’s target bank. The slightest aggression against Iran’s vital facilities will mean the beginning of a devastating reaction that will turn all these vital infrastructures to ashes. Iran is ready to respond with unimaginable power to any threat or hostile action and impose an irreparable cost on the enemy. Make no mistake; the era of appeasement is over, and any action against Iran will mark the beginning of the collapse of the enemy’s vital infrastructures.
