You WON'T BELIEVE What Just Happened to a U.S. Navy F-18 in Iran LIVESTREAM | 6pm MT 27 March

About this video

Max analyzes the ongoing conflict with Iran, examining IRGC naval positions and coastal infrastructure through satellite imagery. He discusses recent Iranian strikes on US bases in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, evaluates potential US military responses including the 82nd Airborne and Marine Expeditionary Units, and explains fighter aircraft strafing tactics. Max attributes the conflict analysis and casualty reports to available sources while walking through strategic considerations for controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

Key takeaways

• Max describes Iranian tactics as focusing on ballistic missile strikes from hidden coastal positions to cause US casualties and erode public support for military operations
• According to Max’s analysis, 92% of Iran’s larger naval vessels have been eliminated, with CENTCOM specifically targeting IRGC Navy leadership and capabilities
• Max explains that the Strait of Hormuz closure is partly a ‘soft closure’ driven by commercial shipping companies’ risk avoidance rather than complete Iranian control
• Max recounts that fighter gun strafing requires careful trigger discipline to avoid jamming, with pilots using only portions of their ammunition per pass to maintain options for follow-on attacks
