Iranian SAM'S appear to be only using their optical appatures to target American planes, which means that they are quite easy to decoy. No doubt obviously due to the American planes also trying to bait Iranian radars out to shoot down their drones, than hit them right after. These Iranian Sam's, like the Iranian missiles, hide very very well, and unless the US plans to bomb every truck in Iran, it will take a while to get "air supremacy"

Also I suspect Iran has alot of its SAM'S healthy and are just letting America waste their standoff munitions until they get board and start using smart bombs enmass. Than they will pull out their sams and force America back at square 1. I mean, thats what i would do, and thats also what Vietnam did in the Vietnam war, just hide their advanced SAM's while SEAD is ongoing, than pull them out when they think they are safe.

The bigger question is for India.

Apparently this took place less than 40 km from India.

Either India detected the sub and failed to warn the Iranian ship to stay in port due to an exercise that India invited it to, or India has no control over its own coastline and cannot even detect subs within almost visual range. This is despite a naval conflict occurring in the Indian Ocean, that China has sent ships to.

Backstabbing, weakness or both?

I could believe that India has been told about a US presence, and that something, somewhere might happen. I quite frankly doubt they're able to detect a Virginia Class SSN, even an Improved Los Angeles might be iffy for them, unless they conduct ASW directly with one of their P-8I's over the submarine lol. ASW is generally considered the most difficult discipline in naval warfare and usually always favors the attacking submarine. And without being too mean, I objectively doubt the Indians would be aware of any sufficiently advanced submarine even if it was directly under one of their Frigates, let alone 40km out.

I thought the centcom fact check said nothing happened?

That footage was reportedly captured in vicinity of Basra Governorate in southern Iraq, an area that is overwhelmingly Shia with a local population that probably ain't exactly happy about Israel's assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei:


If the pilot is American — or worse yet, Israeli — things could get unpleasant or even outright ugly should they fall into the custody of a local Shia led paramilitary faction.
