from Watchtower Intel · host Riley Blanton

The E-3 is one of the highest-value assets in the theater. It doesn't get hit by accident. So how did Iran know where to look?In this video, I break down what actually happened at PSAB, why the precision of these strikes point to something bigger than Iranian capability alone, and what the Washington Post, CNN, and Bloomberg have all now confirmed about Russian intelligence sharing — and what China may be providing on top of that.Read my full piece with sources: This is a public episode.
