An Iranian military spokesman, mirroring the language of Israel in recent days as it now operates with impunity over the skies of Iran, claims Tehran has complete control over the skies of Israel.
The remarks by Revolutionary Guard Col. Iman Tajik represent the latest effort by Tehran to convince an audience at home that Iran is in control after days of bombing by Israel.
He further claims: Tonights missile attack showed that we have gained complete control over the skies of the occupied territories and that its residents have become completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.

While there were some, there was nowhere near the numbers he claimed.
So he had replaced the German AA guns with ink "guns."
"50, 000 Allied planes shot down!"
This is the same as this "Revolutionary Guard" brass bragging.

(4,375 posts)with a missile strike... so Israel is not in complete control over their own airspace, either.
I was glad to see one of the Iranian missiles hit a target somewhere---
they were pretty pathetic in their earlier attempts.
since Israel chose to wage this illegal war of aggression,
I would hate to see things going ALL their way---
That would look too much like the Germans having things all their way,
at the beginning of World War II.... or the Israelis in GAZA....
If they both kick the shit out of each other, that would be GREAT with me---
as long as we stay the fuck out of it.

(2,145 posts)Does Iran have any functional fighters left in its air force? Does it have any tankers? Carriers?

(7,654 posts)Propaganda is directed both at your enemy and your home support base.
Israel is so good at it though.
Some of their propaganda takes a few minutes of thinking to unravel, but Iranian propaganda?
Not so much.

(17,754 posts)Because anyone with 1/4 of a brain would know that this is just utter bullshit, they can't even control the skies over their own nation, much less over Israel.

He'd fit in so well with the Trump cabal.
