Iran's Missile Attacks Are Faltering.
Here's Why.
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/5/2026 9:55:30 AM
In the Twelve Day War, the Israelis understood that Iran's missile production had allowed the mullahs to conduct nearly unlimited ballistic warfare against them. Launchers were Tehran's vulnerability at that time – at least the one that the IDF could exploit with its own resources. Israel destroyed enough of them in June to slow down the massive barrages, although toward the end, more of the missiles leaked through their defenses. This time, however, Israel has an ally with much more firepower. Launchers became a point of vulnerability again, with the US and Israel focusing on the mobile launchers in the first waves of attack.

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said “Texas will save the country” when Texas State Representative James Talarico (D) wins the Senate seat in November.
O’Rourke said, “When James Talarico wins in November, he will be the 51st vote in the US Senate. Texas will save the country.”
He added, “I mean, Trump would not intervene in this way unless he was panicked. He understands that if Talarico wins, if he is the 51st vote in the U.S. Senate, then there’s going to be a check on Trump’s criminality. There’s going to be consequences for his corruption. There’s going to be the possibility of free and fair
You’ll be sorry. That was the warning from Iran to the U.S. on Thursday as it responded to the torpedoing of an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, with a Muslim leader adding a call for “Trump’s blood.”
As Breitbart News reported, the U.S. Navy sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena Tuesday night in the Indian Ocean which Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has since decried as “an atrocity at sea.”
A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine delivered the fatal blow in international waters off Sri Lanka as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Nobody wants to talk about it, because the subject is still politically touchy.
But countries that were, not so long ago, implacable enemies of Israel have not just made their peace with the existence of the Jewish state, but (almost) openly allied with it both economically and militarily. It would be a mistake to assume that the implicit alliance with Israel began with Operation Epic Fury or Israel's Roaring Lion. Everybody knows that Iran has attacked a range of Arab countries with its retaliatory strikes, so it makes sense that these Arab countries would join in the hostilities in one way or another without regard to Israel's participation.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has had a change of heart, and after first denying the U.S. use of its military airfields during Operation Epic Fury, he’s now partially greenlit the idea, and our B-2 stealth bombers are expected to land at RAF bases in Britain and the island of Cyprus in just a matter of days.
Cyprus is a British Overseas Territory administered by the U.K. and is home to RAF Akrotiri, a key forward operating base for the Brits.
The B-2s are coming:
American B-2 stealth bombers are expected to land at British military bases "in a matter of days" to join the campaign against Iran, The Telegraph has reported.
Illegal immigration, even more than men in women’s sports, is the hill that Democrats are determined to die on. They think the issue is a winner for them. In my own state, Minnesota, public officials openly encouraged citizens to interfere with federal law enforcement–such is the Democrats’ commitment to keeping illegal aliens in the U.S.
But polling indicates that most Americans are on the Republican side of the issue. Most recently, check out this Harvard/Harris poll. It is full of interesting findings, which are generally good for the GOP. But I want to focus solely on the illegal immigration issue.
Hegseth: We've Only Just Begun to Win

Will we get tired of the winning before we get tired of the fighting? That political question hangs over all the successes of Operation Epic Fury, even after just four days of hostilities. The news on that question may be better than some believe.
We'll get to that in a moment. First, though, let's review all of the winning. The joint US-Israel war on Iran continues to expand without any effective defense from the regime's forces. The IRGC continues to launch ballistic missiles at Israel and every US partner in the region, barrages that have done mild damage to structures and taken the lives of six American soldiers

When a country spends two decades lying through its teeth in negotiations, that nation should not feel shocked when no one will help pull its chestnuts out of the fire. The chestnuts its leadership still has, that is.
Since the beginning of joint US-Israeli war operations, the remnants of Iran's regime have remained publicly defiant. They have declared that the IRGC and other military forces have inflicted massive damage on Americans and Israelis. The USS Abraham Lincoln is thisclose to being sunk!
Privately, however, the regime knows it's cooked if they can't get an end to the intensifying barrages of Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is doubling down on his support for a California law barring teachers from informing parents of their child’s gender transition after the Supreme Court blocked the law in a temporary order this week.
The law, signed by Newsom in 2024, allowed teachers to withhold information from parents if their student experiences gender dysphoria. The law further requires that teachers use a student’s preferred pronouns.
“Teachers should be focused on teaching — not forced to be gender cops,”
American and Israeli forces have struck nearly 2,000 targets in Iran with more than 2,000 munitions in the first 100 hours of Operation Epic Fury, also named Roaring Lion by Tel Aviv, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, top Trump administration officials told Congress to expect an even larger wave of strikes in the coming days. CENTCOM: Operation Epic Fury doubled scale of Iraq's 'shock and awe'
Adm. Brad Cooper, leader of U.S. Central Command, stated that more than 50,000 U.S. troops, 200 fighter aircraft, two aircraft carriers, and long-range bombers are participating in the operation, the largest U.S. military buildup in the Middle East in a generation.
Texas Republican congressional candidate and state Rep. Steve Toth defeated Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) in the primary election for Texas’s 2nd Congressional District.
In a press release, Toth expressed that “voters want a representative” in Washington, DC, “who will stand firm in his convictions” and “fight for his constituents,” according to the Texas Tribune.
“Congressional District 2 voters want a representative in D.C. who will stand firm in his convictions, fight for his constituents, and follow through on his promises,” Toth said. “I won’t let them down.”
Texas state Rep. James Talarico secured a victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, overturning weeks of polling that had shown the Dallas congresswoman with a significant advantage in the race to determine the party’s nominee in the 2026 contest for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn.
Recent polling ahead of the March 3 primary showed Crockett leading. A University of Texas at Tyler poll conducted Feb. 13–22 surveyed 1,117 registered voters and 959 likely voters and found Crockett with 55 percent support compared to Talarico’s 37 percent, outside the poll’s 3.2-point margin of error

US Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) told supporters she was going to leave her own watch party after votes in Dallas County were delayed.
“We need to see the Dallas County votes to see where they are,” she said, per NOTUS, accusing the GOP of having “specifically targeted” Democratic voters.
[snip] Crockett seized on the chaos and suggested “cheating” was already taking place, fueled by Republicans.
“Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do, and so they specifically targeted Dallas County, and I think we all know why,” she told her supporters at the Dallas watch party.
Among the kingmakers, queenmakers, and they/themmakers of the far left is a stubborn contingent that clings to the belief that the cure for what ails the nation’s self-styled “progressives” has been right there among them for several years now, and that his name is Pete Buttigieg.
The failed transportation secretary has the gift of being acceptable to both the Democrat Party’s leftist establishment and power-to-the-people-right-on-let’s-burn-the-house-down wing, and while there really isn’t a dime’s worth of difference ideologically between the two factions, that’s still an unusual accomplishment.
Yet Pete is not polling all that well,
An American submarine sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Wednesday, the first US sinking of an enemy ship by torpedo since World War II.
The attack left at least 101 people missing, one dead and 78 injured, sources in Sri Lanka’s navy and defense ministry told Reuters.
The IRIS Dena frigate was armed with heavy guns, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes and could carry a helicopter.
The 180-crew frigate had issued a distress call at dawn.
“An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,”
An effort by Senate Democrats to put their prerogatives ahead of Middle East peace was defeated Wednesday night.
The war powers resolution failed 47-53, according to the Associated Press.
Although the vote was largely along party lines, Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted in favor of the resolution to tie President Donald Trump’s hands, while Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted to let Trump wage war as he sees fit. “Democrats would rather obstruct Donald Trump than obliterate Iran’s national nuclear program,” Republican Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming said.
Setting the stage for a new fight with the White House, New York’s top cop promised “further action” if a hospital system doesn’t resume chemical castration of minors.
Last month, in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order that cut off funding for institutions that continued medically maiming children in the name of alphabet activism, NYU Langone Health halted its Transgender Youth Health Program. Now, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has given the hospital system until March 11 to restart it, demonstrating “how desperate Democrats are to mutilate your kids.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, raced to the cameras after leaving a classified Trump administration security briefing.
After Democrats repeatedly complained that President Donald Trump’s administration leaves them out of the loop on security matters, Warren was in a hurry to prove that maybe there is a good reason. Fresh out of a classified security briefing, her first instinct was to turn on a camera and broadcast her thoughts to the entirety of the internet.

A prominent Shiite organization in Dearborn, Michigan, held a memorial for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend, honoring him for his "martyrdom" while accusing Americans of being led by Satan.
"We're gathered here today to commemorate the martyrdom of the great leader of our time, Sayyid Ali Hussein Khamenei," said Hassan Salamey, one of the speakers at the memorial held at the Hadi Institute on Sunday, a day after U.S. and Israeli forces executed Khamenei and other top Iranian officials in Operation Epic Fury.
Footage of the service went viral after being shared by the nonprofit Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) on X.
Jasmine Crockett didn’t simply lose her Senate primary. She staged a slow-motion meltdown on the way out the door, complete with preemptive claims of cheating and “disenfranchisement,” long before the votes were even done being counted.
Early Tuesday evening, while ballots were still being tallied across 254 Texas counties, Crockett started laying the groundwork for an excuse. She told supporters there had been “a lot of confusion” in Dallas County. She insisted that “people have been disenfranchised,” blaming Republicans for supposedly targeting Dallas and hinting darkly at votes that might not count. Then she left her own watch party early and told the crowd not to expect results that night,

Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) has been a lightning rod for criticism due to her outlandish statements, ever-changing accents, and generally reprehensible behavior. Yet somehow, she thought she was ready for the United States Senate.
The voters are weighing in, and their answer so far is: yeah, maybe not so much.
Although the official vote count has not been made final, Crockett trails at this hour to her competitor, TX state representative James Talarico. There’s already some legal back and forth, and courts are involved, so the final outcome may not be confirmed for days. Already, though, Crockett is blaming her poor performance on… election fraud.

Something pretty big just went down behind the scenes in the federal government, and it could end up changing the entire illegal immigration game. According to a new report, the Department of Homeland Security appears to be stepping in and taking a more aggressive role in investigating illegal employment inside the United States.
And no, they’re not politely coordinating with the IRS. They basically just told them to “take a seat.”
DHS is reportedly bypassing the IRS and using its own investigative team to dig into the relationship between employers and illegal workers. For years, everyone avoided this tactic. Why? Because the uniparty knew it would actually break the pipeline,
Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former president John F. Kennedy who is running in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District, received no "earned income" in 2025 but holds millions of dollars worth of assets in four trust funds, a Washington Free Beacon review of his financial disclosures found.
The total value of Schlossberg’s disclosed assets ranges from $10.5 million to $31.9 million, according to the disclosures, which cover the period between January 2025 and February 2026. His assets include lucrative investment portfolios parked in four trust funds worth between $4.1 million and $11.7 million, the 25-page document shows.
