From what I’ve seen from western media, Iran is a paper tiger and are pretty thoroughly getting their shit smashed in. How much is distorted or kept from us, difficult to say.

The claims of Iran shooting down (multiple) F-35s seem unsubstantiated and bogus. The pictures of them are very obvious fakes. Those air defenses they have/had apparently weren’t up to the task.

That said, as duplicitious as Trump and Netanyahu are, an invitation to surrender looks like an obvious trap.
