The US has more losses than this but only these things are known so far. US has lost Billions in assets. We can see this is the biggest losses by US in a war since Vietam.

Shutting down that Strait will be their biggest victory, but it will also be what costs them the election. It will be the thing that ends this war.

[888theGreat]

I am not sure Democratic Congress can stop Trump's wars , unless they shut Gov't down

[msc545]

I don't think even that will do it. However, Iran may be able to do it.

[Likes2drive]

Probably the destroyer

[Master_Debator]

No, this is not Iran's "biggest victory" or America's "biggest loss." The claims are a mix of outright false information, wild exaggerations, Iranian propaganda claims that U. S. officials have rejected, and a couple of partial truths twisted out of context.

-->"Iran sunk a destroyer" (implying a U. S. one): False. No U. S. destroyer (or any major U. S. warship) has been sunk. The opposite happened: A U. S. submarine torpedoed and sank Iran's frigate IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean off Sri Lanka on March 4, 2026—the first enemy ship sunk by U. S. torpedo since WWII. The U. S. has sunk or destroyed over 20–30 Iranian naval vessels overall. Iran claimed a missile strike on a U. S. Navy destroyer/refueling tanker far from its coast, but this is unverified Iranian state media talk—no U. S. confirmation of damage or sinking, and mainstream sources report zero U. S. naval losses of this type.

-->"Iran destroyed 6 refueling planes: One shot down and 5 at base": False/exaggerated. Only one U. S. KC-135 Stratotanker (refueling aircraft) crashed in western Iraq around March 12–13, 2026, killing all 6 crew. The U. S. military (CENTCOM) explicitly stated it was not due to hostile fire, enemy action, or friendly fire—it followed an "unspecified incident" involving two tankers (the second landed safely). Iran-backed militias claimed credit for "shooting it down," but the Pentagon rejected that. There are zero reports of any planes destroyed "at base" or five additional ones hit. Other U. S. aircraft losses in the war (e. g., three F-15s) were friendly-fire incidents, not Iranian action.

-->"US radar systems at bases" (implying destroyed by Iran): Partially true but overstated. Iran has conducted ballistic missile and drone strikes on U. S. bases across the region (Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.) and damaged or destroyed several key radar systems, including THAAD and early-warning radars (e. g., AN/TPY-2 and AN/FPS-132 sites). Satellite imagery confirms hits aimed at degrading U. S./allied air defenses and communications. Some specific images circulating online of "destroyed radars" have been debunked as AI-generated, but the overall strikes on radar infrastructure are real and acknowledged in U. S. and independent reporting.

-->"Iran shot down 5 US fighters and 2 Israeli Fighters": False. No credible reports exist of Iran downing five U. S. fighter jets (or any significant number). The only U. S. fighter losses mentioned were three F-15s downed in a friendly-fire incident by Kuwaiti forces earlier in March—not by Iran. For Israel, Iranian sources (e. g., state media) have claimed downing one drone, but zero confirmed Israeli fighter jet shootdowns. U. S. and Israeli air operations have dominated; the opposite narrative isn't supported anywhere outside Iranian claims.

-->"Shutting down the Strait / US trade": True (with caveats). Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz since early March 2026 in retaliation—threatening/attacking ships, reportedly laying mines, and declaring it off-limits. Shipping traffic dropped ~97%, oil prices spiked above $100/barrel, and global energy supplies (including impacts on U. S. gas prices) have been disrupted. This is Iran's main leverage and a real economic pressure point, though Iran itself has continued limited oil exports (e. g., to China). The U. S. and allies are discussing naval escorts to reopen it, but it's currently shut.

I dug into your claims, and they're straight from Iranian state TV, bro. No U. S. destroyer sunk (we actually torpedoed one of theirs). Zero confirmed U. S. fighters shot down by Iran. The KC-135 crash? Pentagon already said it was an accident, not enemy fire. The only real 'win' for Iran is closing the Strait—and even that’s hurting them more long-term. So real question: You buying Tehran’s victory lap because you hate Trump that much, or did you just not check any non-Iranian sources? Because from CENTCOM updates, U. S./Israel are absolutely smoking them on every front that actually matters.

I'm betting this is all about Trump...

[888theGreat]

Don't cry over it. Just admit Trump was a fool to start this war.

Faux News lies more than any other network. Only fools believe anything they report

[Master_Debator]

I didn't use anything from Fox news... I literally don't watch that trash. What in the actual fuck are you trying to say? The video I attached literally ripped on Cuckard Catarlson and Fox quite a bit. We're the internet baby... shit that goes on television are for retards.

Irans biggest victory has been how many of the expensive shiny new toys the US has choosen to play with during this conflict. Seems America is taking the stance of protecting soldiers lives at any cost which is major expense on the American war machine at nearly 1 billion in bullets (arms, man power, fuel, etc.) per day. Which is very high and not sustainable long term but for the lowest death rates of any conflict other than afganistan so far in such a short yet highly contested conflict suggests Iran has not been victorious at all.

[888theGreat]

US is not reporting the real numbers. US Media is not allowed to either. There have been many more US Troops deaths than reported.

[Cyfris]

Well that is yet to be seen and could certainly be possible. The data that is out as of now points to a very expensive decisive victory with one side greatly better off than the other but time will tell for sure. But so far the volume of lives and equipment lost is very low for the amount of impact and achieved amount of desired outcome. Specially if compared to other conflicts cough cough russia/ukraine. But it is very early I think for anyone to claim any victory, It ain't over till the fat lady sings as they once said.

[BonzoInBitburg]

The biggest loss for the US might be finding out they have no friends. Trump demands other countries get involved and gets turned down. This is not a world problem, this is an Israel and Trump problem.

[888theGreat]

I think it is like "if you break it , you fix it"

[BonzoInBitburg]

After everything that Trump has done to US allies over the past year, why would any country want to help the US? China is a better ally and they back Iran so it makes no sense for countries to disrupt that. There's no value in being a US ally anymore.

[exitseven]

The truth is that the planes were attacked in Saudi Arabia and only sustained minimal damage. Rader systems have not been destroyed except for Iranian ones. No fighter planes have been shot down. A US destroyer was not sunk. Instead an Iranian warship was sunk in that region by a US Submarine.

It sounds like you are watching too much Iranian TV.

[Sevenpointfive]

i'm not sure what exactly happened but i'll know in a couple of hours.

[permanentem]

You've been smoking too much tajweed...

[888theGreat]

Nope that would be Trumpsters

[permanentem]

You think the Muslims are "Trumpsters'? Tajweed are the rules for recitation of the Quran... Sorry to break it to you, but those free Palestine protests were not "Trumpsters'... You smoked yourself stupid.
