Caught some interesting traffic on Iridium voice with someone talking the chaotic global situation. Mentions that Iran has threatened Miami and launched 800 missiles into Israel, and that it’s “blowing up fucking everywhere.” They say India is now fighting, while Russia and Korea have voiced support for Iran, and Japan is reportedly planning to sell off U.S. Treasuries—suggesting an economic “reset.” The person connects these events to broader fears of war, protests, sleeper cells in the U.S., and social unrest, warning that unvetted immigrants could cause domestic violence or attacks. The person seemed a bit concerned and worried about the impending war and need for caution and preparedness. Could be a nothingburger, but thought it was little noteworthy 😉

Caught a few more tactical comms from these units. Sounds like they may be up on HF as well, so I will be keeping an ear out for them.
