All The HUGE LIES They’re Telling You About The Iran “Rescue Mission!” (Jimmy Dore)

It appears that the Trump administration is using the story of recovering a downed pilot in Iran to hide a disastrous failed mission to seize Iranian uranium. Jimmy presents evidence from former CIA officials and military analysts to suggest that the "pilot rescue" story is a lie. He also reports that U.S. forces lost multiple aircraft—including two C-130s, two Blackhawk helicopters, and two MQ-9 Reaper drones—and were forced to bomb their own downed equipment to avoid capture, with an American major's Israeli residency permit found at the crash site.

Jimmy contrasts Trump's absurd claim that "we destroyed our own planes because the sand was too wet" with Iran's statement that they ambushed the operation and forced the U.S. to retreat in humiliation. He concludes that Trump's declaration that Iranian air defenses were "completely obliterated" has been proven false, and that the failed uranium heist—previewed in the Washington Post days earlier—marks a catastrophic defeat for the administration.
