Hegseth addresses use of 'kamikaze dolphins' in Iran – 'Can't confirm or deny'
I think your navy has been known to use bottleneck dolphins as far back as the 60s to locate/detect/destroy the likes of underwater mines.

WTH is this?
USAF Stratotanker Squawks 7700 Emergency Near Doha
Quote:
U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, said its aerial assets in the Hormuz area were busy on Monday, with helicopters and other aircraft combating IRGC forces to ensure the safe transit of the two ships.
Flight-tracking website Flightradar24 reported early Tuesday that a U.S. Air Force Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, a military aerial-refueling aircraft, squawked "7700" after operating in a tight pattern near the Hormuz chokepoint.
"A U.S. Air Force KC-135 is squawking 7700, flying in the direction of Doha," Flightradar24 wrote on X.

— Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) May 5, 2026 Flightradar24 had no additional information on why the KC-135 crew squawked 7700. Some possible reasons include:- Mechanical failure
- Engine problems
- Fire or smoke
- Medical emergency
- Loss of pressurization
- Fuel emergency
- Other serious onboard problems
CENTCOM and U.S. officials have not provided any details so far on the KC-135's emergency or what caused it.
Oh boy ...

Oh boy ...
I saw reports that it disappeared from radar, though they may have turned off their transponder if there was enemy fire in the area. Some other less credible reports noted recovery crews took off, hopefully just a precaution.
One has to wonder what the point of all of this is.
Negotiations have proven to stonewalled on both sides, which is confusing because if they’re so defeated, why are we even negotiating. Every deadline has extended for months now, so those mean nothing.
I think it’s just theatrics at this point. No one has an appetite for this war, I think it’s clear there’s not going to be a deal both sides can sell as a win. Best to take our ball and go home.

Bait for what?
If Iran was so utterly defeated, why would they even have the balls to bob and weave and ignore deadlines?
