Mark Wauck: Breaking: Heavy US Casualties Reported As Iran Retaliates
Breaking: Heavy US Casualties Reported As Iran Retaliates
The White House brain trust somehow convinced itself that if the US started sinking civilian Iranian tankers Iran would cry ‘Uncle’ due to the economic loss. It looks like they weren’t ready for what would happen next—as if they thought that Iran, after all these years, didn’t have a plan for every imaginable contingency. The US sank five civilian ships, so Iran launched massive missile strikes at US bases in Jordan. How could these geniuses not understand that Iran is looking to escalate and that US service personnel were in harm’s way with little protection? ‘Small potatoes?’ Iran will trade tankers for US casualties every day of the week.

BREAKING: Iran’s IRGC announces it struck the deployment site for F-35, F-16 and F-15 fighter jets, as well as a fighter jet shelter, a maintenance and repair facility, and a preparation area at the US Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan with ballistic missiles, “inflicting significant damage.”

BREAKING: A large number of injured US soldiers are being flown to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, some with life-threatening injuries, following tonight’s Iranian ballistic missile strikes on the Muwaffaq Salti and Prince Hassan air bases in Jordan, per a Jordanian source to Al Arabiya.
A US official tells Reuters minutes ago that all American troops in Jordan are “accounted for,” which is highly unusual wording and does not mean “no casualties,” as it is simply a headcount of every listed soldier. At least 4 of the missiles at Muwaffaq directly impacted, with no interceptors even fired at them.
Apparently the US forces used up all or most of their Patriot interceptors on the first wave. Then came the second wave. In addition, Iran is reported to have used cluster type warheads in their mix, which cause wide area damage on airfields—to landing strips, buildings, planes, personnel, whatever.

Twenty-six more Americans wounded in a war the Pentagon says ended in May
The military added them to its casualty database Tuesday under Overseas Operations, the label it has used for Middle East injuries and deaths since July 7, with no dates or locations given.
That column now holds 403 wounded between July 7 and September 8.
The Operation Epic Fury column holds another 417 from February to July, plus five injuries in June and a death in July.
Add the columns and 820 Americans have been wounded in seven months, more than the 756 the Pentagon acknowledged two weeks ago.

I can only conjecture that the vast majority of the WIA are blast injured from nearby missile impacts. You can get behind cover with a minute or two of warning, but you can’t escape the blast overpressure.
This might be the “Agent Orange” or “Gulf War Syndrome” of Operation Epic Fury. Blast injured troops can suffer lifelong disabilities such as permanent negative mood changes, attention deficit, balance issues, memory issues, vision issues, hearing issues, etc etc.
Iran has made an additional claim for which there is no confirmation:

BREAKING: Iran’s IRGC announces it struck the US destroyers USS Delbert D. Black (DDG-119) and USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53) with ballistic missiles in response to tonight’s US strikes on Iranian oil tankers, saying both Aegis warships were carrying cruise missiles and that the attack “caused significant damage to these vessels.”
We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
It’s all OK because Gold Star mothers are being told to pound sand because their sons died in “not really a war”.
Meanwhile Russia’s “Not really a war” at least pays coffin money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifVQlskT04E&t=108s
WSJ video, and an interesting one to watch. I’m reminded of the start of WWII in the US, where the common man was in the kind of poverty and lack of social mobility that we’re sliding back into now, and then the war breaks out and there are jobs and enough to eat and if you come back alive you can buy a house and if you don’t then your family can. Studs Terkel called it “The Good War” and in the couple-few decades later, the US wasn’t so Jew-controlled yet as to shit on those who’d served and calling them suckers and losers.
I get all my Middle East real-time news directly from Iran’s Press TV Telegram channel, and it does not disappoint: https://t.me/s/presstv/. Why wait for the Ashkenazim to give you the “news”?

Ashkenazim have made pretty decent progress against China in the last 24 hours. First, Iran is reporting several new explosions on their land by Western missiles. A bunch more Palestinians, Lebanese, and Yemenese have been killed, which means less allies for China. The Likud Ashkenazim have just achieved a massive success in Germany with the successful victory of their Likud Party German branch of AfD. AfD has been engineered to follow a Trump-like model, redirecting all public money to Israel by cutting public healthcare/food assistance/housing/infrastructure/Social security/etc. The immigration policy will shift to one where immigrants must prove their usefulness to Israel.
Also, Likuds officially kicked off their USA anti-China mid-term campaign. Likuds have instructed Trump to be very entertaining to his extremely low IQ prospective Gentile voters. Trump has been asked to do entertaining dancing on stage and say funny words and make funny vocal sounds. Did you ever see the USA movie “Idiocracy”? Trump has been instructed to be very entertaining, like President Camacho.
It’s called upwards evolution, my friend. Hominids must make constant upwards evolution. If it were not for this, we would all still be monkeys. Thus, it is completely natural for the Ashkenazim to replace the Chinese Han in the evolutionary wars.
Someone mentioned strikes on destroyers, then said the stories were withdrawn.
“U.S. officials warned that service members stationed at the Azraq military base in Jordan may report traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the days following an Iranian bombardment on September 8, 2026.
While the strike caused only minimal damage to equipment and resulted in no deaths, the explosions from nearby blasts pose a risk for blast-related brain trauma, a common injury in such attacks.”
They don’t care if Joe gets wasted, they really don’t.
