Hope your Easter egg hunt was more joyous than Trump\u2019s mindless attempt to do Maduro in Iran. As former US Marine officer Jim Webb\u2014whose family has served in the US Armed Forces over three generations\u2014noted, losing five US military aircraft in a single mission, with a large number of troops on board, was not exactly a mission success.<\/p>\n<p>Even by the typical standards of war deceptions, propaganda, and outright cover\u2011ups, the patriotic\u2011sounding American narratives of how the United States Armed Forces pulled off a miraculous rescue mission are in a different league of spin. Social media and legacy media are littered with this \u201crescue miracle\u201d for the two US pilots who ejected from their F\u201118 Eagle, which Iranians shot down.<\/p>\n<p>That Iranians\u2014whose Russian\u2011made air defenses Trump repeatedly boasts have been \u201cobliterated\u201d since the American\u2011Israeli war of aggression on Iran began on 28 February\u2014managed to shoot down US aircraft is more of a miracle than the reported \u201csuccessful rescue mission\u201d for the second missing US officer.<\/p>\n<p>But even this Hollywood ending to the Americans\u2019 Easter pilot hunt defies all logic, physical geography, and verified realities.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mandissent.com\/p\/no-easter-miracle-for-trump-neither?triedRedirect=true\" >TO CONTINUE READING Go to Original &#8211; mandissent.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 Apr 2026\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0A leading specialist on Iran affairs and former MI6 officer, along with Palestinian military analysts, exposes Israel\u2013US propaganda that spins the Pentagon\u2019s mission failure as \u201ca rescue miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":281611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[417,100,3281,950,742,88,3925,767,475,2571,3924,818,1190,2159,880,99,249,2200,70,481,886],"class_list":["post-314822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transcend-members","tag-bullying","tag-direct-violence","tag-evil-empire","tag-invasion","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-khamenei","tag-middle-east","tag-netanyahu","tag-official-lies-and-narratives","tag-peace-hoax","tag-proxy-war","tag-regime-change","tag-rogue-states","tag-state-terrorism","tag-structural-violence","tag-trump","tag-us-empire","tag-usa","tag-warfare","tag-zionism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314822"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":314823,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314822\/revisions\/314823"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
