The page also says Iranian attack failed because the damage wasn't significant. Like, they were talking on CNN about Iran warning everyone beforehand and not sending everything at once to limit damage.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

You know, this makes me think, would they have told us if one of those hypersonic missiles hit a parked F-35? They claim that the damage to the air bases that were hit was "minimal" but I'm not so sure I believe that.
NPR lead in with the story by claiming "Iran's bombs killed a 7-year-old child". Not so much as a whisper of where they actually landed, before the announcer proudly declared 98% of the rockets were deflected by air defenses thanks to Rishi Sunak's UK Air Force.
These news stories are migrating from "puzzle pieces I have to assemble into something resembling the truth" to "pure shadows-on-the-wall manufactured gibberish". Just like with the air base bombing in Jordan, I'm at an absolute loss as to what's actually happening. Its just headline gore and a drum beat to war that's practically deafening.
