๐ปHow many "Heron TP" drones were shot down in the skies of Iran?
๐๐ฅ During the recent conflict, the Iranian Armed Forces successfully destroyed at least, two Eitan drones, also known as the Heron TP, in the border areas of Ilam province and the mountainous regions of Lorestan province.
๐ According to local and military officials, one of these drones was shot down by the Army's Majid short-range defense system, while the other was downed by Misagh man-portable infrared-guided surface-to-air missile.
๐ The "Heron TP" (Eitan) drone is one of the Israeli Army's large and advanced reconnaissance-combat drones. It has a wingspan of 26 meters and a fuselage length of 14 meters. This drone can reach an altitude of 14,000 meters and has the capability to fly for over 30 hours, with an operational range of 7,400 kilometers. The name "Eitan" is a Hebrew word meaning "Steadfast." These drones are stationed at the Tel Nof base in the southern suburbs of Tel Aviv.

๐ด Despite mounting pressure from the Indian government โ particularly in the northern & central regions โ Shia Muslims are standing firm in the face of unjust scrutiny and legal challenges.
Authorities have raided homes and Hussainiyahs, attempting to suppress displays of revered figures like Imam Khamenei (h.a), Ayatollah Sistani, and other symbols of resistance under the pretext of "national security."
But Alhamdulillah, the Shia community is responding with resilience and dignity. With the support of a few courageous โUlema and legal avenues, the movement continues to grow.
Posters of Imam Khamenei (h.a) are now being seen across the country โ from Ladakh to Kashmir, through the heart of northern India, the central belt, and all the way to the South.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ While Americans argue over rent hikes, groceries, and student loans, Israel has extracted $124 M per day from the U.S. Treasury for an entire year, much of it hidden behind opaque appropriations and congressional loopholes.
According to Brown Universityโs Costs of War project, Washington has shouldered 70% of Israelโs military costs since Oct 7, 2023. That includes $17.9 B in direct aid, $4.86 B in Pentagon regional ops, $20.3 B in deferred arms deals, and billions more in shipping losses, stockpile transfers, and corporate handouts.
Since 1948 the United States has pumped $317 B into Israel, including $251.2 B in military aid since 1959; that torrent began with the first Pentagon loan in 1959, switched to grants in 1974, became 100% grants in 1985, and now flows automatically as a $3.8 B lump-sum every Oct 1 plus a $500 M missile-defense kicker under the 2019-2028 MOU, money on which Israel pockets the interest because Washington lets it sit in a Fed account. Even so, FY-2024 set a new single-year record: $17.9 B, dwarfing the 1973 and 1978 surges and landing entirely on U.S. taxpayers.
That FY-2024 fire-hose breaks down as $6.8 B Foreign Military Financing, $4.5 B for Iron Dome and Davidโs Sling reloads, $1.2 B for the Iron Beam laser, $1 B to crank out more 155 mm shells in U.S. factories, and $4.4 B to refill Pentagon stockpiles stripped for Israeli use, again, $17.9 B in 11 months. The administration also slid at least 100 separate weapons deals under congressional reporting thresholds to keep the true cost opaque.
On 8-13-2024 Washington promised another $20.3 B: 50 F-15EX fighters priced at $18.8 B for delivery in 2029, 32 000 120 mm tank rounds at $774 M, $583 M in tactical vehicles, 30 AMRAAMs at $102 M, and 50 000 mortar bombs at $61 M, all deferred to future U.S. budgets via Israelโs โcash-flowโ privilege.
Meanwhile the money flows back to the usual corporate feeders. 60 % of the $14 B April supplemental, $8.4 B, went straight to U.S. arms firms. Boeingโs defense arm booked $8 B in Q4-2023 orders, 36 % of its annual revenue. The Financial Times projects $52 B in free cash flow for the top-15 defense contractors in 2026, $26 B pocketed by the U.S. โbig five,โ cash they historically plow into buybacks and dividends. Israel still may divert 25 % of each yearly grant, $950 M this cycle, to its own industry before that carve-out expires in 2028.
Add it up and the past 12 months have drained $17.9 B in direct aid, $20.3 B in new contractual obligations, $4.86 B (and climbing) in Pentagon regional costs, and $2.1 B in trade losses, a $45.16 B extraction. That works out to $124 M every day, $1.5 M every hour, funneled from American households to a foreign military and a handful of weapons conglomerates that treat the U.S. Treasury like an open vein.
