NITRO ZEUS: The Plan to Topple the Iranian Regime

June 17, 2019 by Jack Murphy

Night fell over the desert. U.S. Air Force aircraft soared overhead, lowering their ramps and emptying their cargo into the night sky. Vehicles were heavy dropped on pallets while operators assigned to 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta parachuted out into the darkness, conducting a military free-fall jump. Hitting their assembly area below, the operators quickly got […]
