FULL DISPATCH

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Footage claims to show Iran testing aerial mines that explode midair to stop helicopters from dropping troops... Unconfirmed video reportedly shows the IRGC launching mines into the sky that burst in midair, possibly designed to shred helicopters and transport planes before they can land a single soldier. If this is real, Tehran is clearly preparing for enemy boots on its soil... However strong the US military is, invading a country of 90 million that's been readying for this would be a DEVASTATINGLY costly mistake. Cooler heads need to prevail.
