Nothing worse than put you on ready and then nothing happen . it was exactly what was happened when I was conscripted in Sistan and Baluchistan and Abd-almalik-rigi make any movement we were put on ready for 48 to 72 hours and then nothing would have happened .
We started to think it's way of saving face for higher ups when their measure have been failed and they wanted to say we are doing something .

Do you know how massive this drone was?

What you have in the photos = peanuts (useless leftovers)

I edited my response due to 'shallow waters' remark, there is always a possibility for a few leftovers to surface in shallow water environment due to waves.

I edit my responses very often - norm. Check my posting history (many posts edited).

The photos I saw of the wreckage suggest there well be a lot of debris if you go and look under the see what iran showed look more like part of a wing that stayed afloat .
By the way if it's this drone then the front part is salvageable. Probably if anybody is interested he can learn something from the sensors that are in the belly and front of the drone

But it seems the Engine and ESM and Radar are toast .

...most here know Iran is at an disadvantage, doesn't mean Iran can't put up a good fight.

This is not a boxing match. Your military lose a shooting fight, that stays with you for a long time.

Ok?

I mean fair enough, I guess there isn't really anything to add to that.

You are correct.

According to real informed sources : Trump offered Iran a fake strike (similar to what he did in Syria) so that he would look good in public....Iran refused.....It just tells you about the state of corruption,fake everything and the shallow optics that Americans use in their relationships to the world...the Empire is collapsing on its own rut.

Iran denies reports Trump sent warning about imminent attack in retaliation for downed US drone

ran's top national security official has denied a Reuters report claiming that Tehran had received a low-key message via Oman from the US warning of an imminent attack on the Islamic Republic.
"The US didn’t send any message,” Keyvan Khosravi, spokesman for the National Security Council, told Iranian television.

This issue is not in any way correct.

Agreed with top, demoralizing for armed forces.

Following is authentic:

Massive explosion, I do not think much is left of this UAV.

According to well-informed sources, Iran rejected a proposal by US intelligence – made via a third party – that Trump be allowed to bomb one, two or three clear objectives, to be chosen by Iran, so that both countries could appear to come out as winners and Trump could save face. Iran categorically rejected the offer and sent its reply: even an attack against an empty sandy beach in Iran would trigger a missile launch against US objectives in the Gulf.

If this is true then this clown does not understand Iranians. He thinks Iranians are interested in playing games with him.

What would be Iran's response if Trump did indeed let the strikes occur? How would Iran respond to the attacks?

USA bluff is called

War , if we don't respond any attack , they will continue their attack till we lose any capabilities to defend ourselves ....

The official line from Iran themselves is something akin to 'massive retaliation' against any all targets Iran can adequately reach. It would be most likely widespread and include both civilian and military assets harbored within multiple different countries in the Middle East that have aligned themselves with U.S. anti-Iran policy.

Activating thousands of Iranian allied shia/sunni militia, Hezbollah, Hamas to attack Israeli/US interests and assets; setting ablaze the oil refineries and installation of UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, maybe even Qatar in addition to destroying U.S. bases in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq (possible obliteration of U.S. embassy in Iraq). Possible help of Taliban in Afghanistan (giving advanced weaponry) to further bog the U.S. down in Afghanistan, etc...

Literally the worse case scenario for the U.S. would happen overnight if Trump's despotic administration were to take any sort of offensive action against Iran. This isn't hyperbole any longer...
