Foreign news is saying Iran has stated they bombed all U.S bases. They report 500 casualties. Would they exaggerate ?

Probably.

Would they turn 6 into 500. Not likely.

Would department of defence lie to conceal how badly they fucked up ? 100%

Even if both are lying, the middle is still a few hundred.

I still don’t understand why any of you would trust what the trump or hegseth says.

But I can tell you that soldiers are not allowed to leak information all the time about on going operations.

We don’t hear details about most things like this until years later.

And I do believe they can hide death counts easily in the short term.

I trust foreign news over U.S news. And you should too.
