This article claims there are troops in Iran. That's bullshit other than maybe a small number of special operators and special forces types that typically operate behind enemy lines.

Everyone on JPP knows you are a CCP troll.
Do you honestly think you fool anyone?
You are no different than Baghdad Bob - except you cheer for China rather than Iran.
Vietnam convinced Russia that they stood zero chance in a war with America.
Iran is having the same effect with your empire. You just saw all of your "advanced" anti-aircraft weapons utterly fail. Your Emperor and his ministers know that you are no match for America.
lol it usually wipes out large armies in a few hours, like your Iranian mobsters. Israelis do as well. Please tell us more about 'WW and stuff', it was pretty funny. You Reds and Russians have run from yet another fight. And, your would be 'allies' have all noted that.
GOOD ONE!!!LMAO!
lol the desperation and delusions are strong with these two. Russia can't whip Ukraine, and the Red Chinese couldn't whip Vietnam and can barely hold Tibet, but we're supposed to pretend these gimp gangsters are 'World Powers' ... lol hilarious.
You need a better therapist.

US military equipment worth billions of dollars destroyed in Iran war
The United States lost aerial equipment worth up to $2.8bn
Speaking at a televised Cabinet meeting on March 26, the US secretary of defense boasted of US military successes against Iran in the ongoing war. “Never in recorded history has a nation’s military been so quickly and so effectively neutralised,” he said, seated next to US President Donald Trump.
The very next day, Iran fired missiles and drones that struck a US base in Saudi Arabia, wounding several US soldiers and destroying a radar surveillance plane that cost $700m.
It was no one-off hit. Iran’s missiles and drones, and one devastating instance of so-called friendly fire, have destroyed US military equipment worth between $2.3bn and $2.8bn, the Washington, DC-based Center for Strategic and International Studies has calculated.
The CSIS estimate is the first detailed tabulation by a major international research group of US military losses in the war that began on February 28, and Al Jazeera is the first to report it.
This estimated costing does not include losses incurred at US bases in the region, or any of the specialised equipment or naval assets.
Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Defense and Security Department at CSIS, carried out the calculations. He said that he was also looking at damages to bases used by the US in the Gulf. But that exercise has been more challenging. Planet Labs, a global service provider for satellite imagery, has blocked all satellite images for public and media usage at the request of the US government since February 28. Iranian satellite imagery, however, has been available.
“We can see from the overhead photographs, you know, what, what buildings were struck,” said Cancian, of the bases used by the US. “It’s hard to know what was in the building.”
What were the losses?
Some of the losses were the result of “friendly fire”. Three F-15 jets were shot down in one such incident in Kuwait in early March.But most of the US aircraft and radar destroyed in the war were targeted by Iran. Two instances, in particular, stand out. On March 1, the US lost at least one powerful missile defence radar that uses the THAAD system to detect missiles and some hypersonic threats, and feeds targeting data to other defence systems. Some reports suggest two radars were destroyed. The total bill: Between $485m and $970m. The location has not been specified. The US armed forces are hosted by several Gulf nations where THAAD systems were implemented.
And on March 27, the attack on Prince Sultan airbase in eastern Saudi Arabia, fewer than 24 hours after Hegseth’s boast, destroyed the $700m E-3 AWACS/E7 radar detection aircraft. Essentially an airborne command centre, it can detect aircraft and missiles hundreds of kilometres away, and coordinate battles in the sky.
