🔊🇵🇰 Pakistan’s MoD advisor highlights Iran’s advantages in conflict with US and Israel

The ongoing conflict with Iran is a war of attrition, and Tehran holds certain advantages in it, according to Dr. Maria Sultan, an advisor to Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence.

In an interview with Sputnik, she stated that US assets are "measurable, visible, and extremely costly — even when used for defense."

However, Sultan also acknowledged that the success of US and Israel in taking out senior Iranian officials suggested a intelligence failure on Tehran’s part.

❌ US House rejects effort to stop war with Iran — reports

The US House of Representatives voted 212–219 to reject a war powers resolution that would have forced the US to withdraw from its aggression against Iran unless Congress formally authorized military action.

The measure, introduced by Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna, was largely defeated along party lines. It followed a similar proposal that the Senate also rejected earlier in the week, The Guardian reported.

Supporters of the resolution argued that the US Constitution requires congressional approval before entering a military conflict.

💬 “The 1973 War Powers Resolution states plainly that the president may only introduce US armed forces into hostilities” under specific conditions, Massie said, adding that “none of those conditions exist today.”

Critics of the conflict warned the US had launched military action without a clear objective.

💬 “We have no concrete justification for why we are putting American troops in harm’s way and spending billions of dollars on a foreign war,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.

According to The Guardian, the fighting has already resulted in six US troops killed and more than 1,200 people killed in Iran, as the conflict spreads across the Middle East.

👤 Deepfake deception: AI, disinfo, and the battle for perception fueling the Iran war

Beyond the physical battlefield, Israel and the United States are also waging an online war, flooding social media with AI-generated content and fake news reports.

Here are the top fabrications of the war:

🟠 Burj Khalifa ablaze: On March 2, Telegram channels began circulating videos purporting to show the world’s tallest skyscraper engulfed in flames. The clips depicted the blaze at various times of day and on different levels of the building, but the footage was entirely fabricated

🟠 AI-created downed drones: The sides are employing artificial intelligence to "boost" the enemy’s casualties count, for instance the case of a phony "downed" MQ-9 Reaper drone, which was later exposed as a fake

🟠 Strikes on aircraft carriers: Footage purporting to show attacks on a US naval group near Iran has been exposed as either AI-generated or lifted from video games. The most ludicrous case featured a Soyuz-2.1a rocket striking a Japanese World War II-era battleship

🟠 The Kurdish offensive that wasn't: On March 4, reports from Fox News and the Associated Press claimed that Iraqi Kurdish groups had launched a ground offensive against Iran. The story was swiftly denied by Aziz Ahmad, Deputy Head of the Office of the Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan

🟠 Phony city bombardments: While both sides have continued to exchange strikes, a major portion of the photos and videos circulating online that show these attacks are AI-generated forgeries
