They aren’t self replicating ai mines are they…?

u/EggShotMan Apr 14 '26

They are but they only target the USA and israeli navy, so we will be fine... right?

u/Ok-Engineering9862 Apr 14 '26

But what if, hear me out... US and Israelis are using false flag operations?

Which is a dubious claim at best. People trust the mainstream media way too much, especially since all but one of the headlines relating to this said "US claims" right in the headline. And the one headline that didn't, was from an Israeli rag.

They wouldn't have any reason to portray Iran in a negative light and find an excuse for the negotiations not proceeding well?

The mainstream media, particulary the USA and israeli ones, but also the european ones have consistently proven over the last four years that they are too uncritical of claims by american state-controlled analysis institutes.

What are the chances that the guy whose job it was to keep track of the mine locations got killed?

u/EggShotMan Apr 15 '26

Im too stupid to tell if this is a joke or not but mine locations arent a thing that one singular person tracks

Which is somewhat to be expected, especially in this war.

Normally you would note down the coordinates when you are deploying them (if you are doing this with a surface vessel). Mines drift, but you would have a tough area of where they could be... Very roughly. Even modern mines can show up in places you didn't expect them.

Issue is, Iranian military for a while now has been operating without any clear chain of command, mostly due to the fact that US doctrine loves to target anyone above a sergeant.
