Sheesh... so even CNN is now confirming the damage Iran was able to do to US military outposts in the region.

cnn--
"CNN confirms precise Iranian strikes have caused unprecedented destruction to the majority of US military sites.
At least 16 American installations are heavily damaged and virtually unusable... Precise Iranian missiles and drone strikes, aided by sophisticated Chinese technology, hit some of America's most crucial assets in the Middle East. The extent of the damage not known until now."

Here's the question: why did it take this long for mainstream & legacy media, both here and in the UK, to confirm what a couple social media sites were reporting at the time? Strange!!
And yes, as I admitted earlier, both Mr TheOne & maestro made note of the reports, still, I was not ready to believe it.

AND NOW we are learning that the Chinese were supplying Iran with all kinds of technical stuff. That too was kept secret by mainstream media. Strange.
