Unsettling ‘jellyfish’ drones spotted by downed US fighter pilot hints Iran is beefing up war tech: expert

Chris Nesi / NEW YORK POST

The unsettling swarm of drones that a downed US pilot in Iran said moved in a bizarre “jellyfish-like” formation indicates the Iranian regime has devoted significant resources to beefing up its drone program — so it can counter the conventional battlefield tech of its rivals.

“They are adapting faster than us,” Brett Velicovich, drone expert and founder of Powerus, told The Post.

“Iran has spent years developing capabilities designed to offset the overwhelmingly conventional advantages of the United States and its allies.” 

The unnamed F-15 pilot, who was rescued April 3 after hiding deep in enemy territory in the Zagros Mountains for more than a day, described a “minefield of drones” hovering in the air — which he surmised could have helped Iran shoot his plane down.

Velicovich said it was possible the injured pilot — who was badly concussed — might not have been seeing straight when he observed the swarm, but said what he saw could have been a so-called “mothership” drone.

Victory Not Delivered 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com

...This deal...this “Memorandum of Understanding” is, in my opinion, no better than Obama's deal with Iran...the deal that actually set Iran on a path to a nuclear bomb...but for whatever reason Trump and his “Trump can do no wrong” supporters refuse to see that fact.

“Houston”...there truly remains a problem, a problem that started with last summer's joint U.S./Israel military partnership where we had the military advantage over the regime, but Trump actually gave said advantage away. How so...by his refusing to finish (or let Israel finish) the job he led us, the Iranian people, and Israel herself to believe would be done.

...as Iran once again tries to play what is the “on again, off again” hoped for extension game, Trump continues saying that the “Memorandum of Understanding” is Iran's “unconditional surrender,” thus turning a rightfully just war into but a mockery of itself for “appeasement” and “capitulation” are now and will always remain the antithesis of victory...Read entire article here. 

Cops could be forced into race-based guessing game after Supreme Court move, Thomas joins dissent

'What about dark-skinned Latinos, other Latinos, and members of other minority groups?' the dissent asked

Robert Schmad / Fox News 

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas on Monday dissented from the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up a case that they said forces police officers to create a separate set of rules for racial minorities.

"It is dangerous to allow an individual to be treated differently based on statistics, studies, or expert testimony that purports to show that members of the racial or ethnic group to which he belongs are more likely to act in a certain way than are members of other groups," Alito wrote on behalf of himself and Thomas. "Here, the special treatment helped the individual; in other situations it will not."

The case, U.S. v. Donte J. Carter, involved a Black man whose firearm and theft convictions were vacated after the D.C. Court of Appeals held that police seized him before they had reasonable suspicion. Officers later recovered a .40-caliber pistol from Carter’s pants and the government said the gun had been stolen from an FBI agent’s vehicle.

US waives Iran oil sanctions for two months in $10 billion payday

Steven Nelson / NEW YORK POST 

WASHINGTON — The US government on Monday formally waived oil sanctions on Iran for two months — allowing for roughly $10 billion in revenue as nuclear talks continued with Iranian officials in Switzerland.

The Treasury Department waiver lasts through Aug. 21 — giving Iran the ability to openly sell its oil for the first time since the 1990s, meaning it will pocket new profits by avoiding discounted sales.

The waiver was announced as Vice President JD Vance prepared to depart peace talks in Switzerland — and follows President Trump last week lifting the two-month US naval blockade of Iranian ports.

The waiver could allow Iran to take in an estimated $60 billion annually — or $10 billion for the two-month window. 

Tehran has long sold its oil to China in violation of US sanctions and now can boost profits by eliminating discounts that reached up to $10 per barrel, according to market analysis cited in US government reports.
