Iran Fired a Missile At an F-35 Then The U.S. Military Made Them Pay

About this video

Max analyzes recent escalations in a hypothetical 2026 Iran-US standoff scenario. He examines IRGC claims of engaging US aircraft near the Strait of Hormuz, explains the technical capabilities of the F-35 and US electronic warfare systems, and offers his assessment that Iran’s provocations are designed to control negotiations by making the US appear as the aggressor while normalizing their control over international waterways.

Key takeaways

• Max describes how modern fighter aircraft like the F-35 use advanced electronic warfare suites to detect, geolocate, and neutralize surface-to-air missile threats before being targeted
• According to Max, Iran’s dual strategy involves IRGC forces creating incidents in the Strait of Hormuz while diplomats negotiate, attempting to portray US defensive responses as aggression
• Max argues that the IRGC’s goal is to normalize their extortion of international waterways and force acceptance of terms that limit American regional presence
