The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the strikes are a “clear and explicit” message to the White House.

        I’m so old I read this as something about Mortimer Snerd being in the Kardashian clan. I’ve always seen the resemblance. https://images.app.goo.gl/2TgrbwrBvmeiihWv5

      Do Israel and Iran realize how bad this looks for Trump? Did they think about him at all? Did they even say thank you?

    Totally expected. What would be unexpected is firing at the country itself.

    Why not attack the U.S. directly? There are plenty of coastal bases in the U.S.

    I feel like it would hurt a whole lot more if they were to go after something on U.S. soil…not that I exactly want that. Being bombed at home sounds terrifying.

    Im just curious what the logic was behind this.

              I’m not sure those two really do. Any Russian claims have been proven suspect, and China’s force protection has always been their Achilles heel.

      Perhaps because if they did that, there’s a very high chance trump would nuke them. He’s been itching for a reason to use nukes since his first term, and that would give him the excuse he wants.

      e: I think the fact I got 2 opposing comments (he’d do it without justification and he’d be stopped by the CoC even with justification) might be telling here. He’s a monkey with a machine gun, and who knows if justification would work on others in the chain of command? Perhaps they’d rather not risk that.

        Maybe, there are a lot of people who would probably not be too keen on doing that through the chain of command. Nukes aren’t something you just pull out a brief case and push a button with.

      Because these are short to medium range ground fired missiles? They don’t reach that far. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think they have submarines that can get close and fire missiles at the United States proper.

        I have no idea. They have a nuclear program, so I assumed they have a somewhat sophisticated and modern military.

          That’s a bad assumption, North Korea has nukes.

          It’s just a bigger stick.

      Fear. And a lot more difficult to successfully hit.

      There will be a “terrorist” attack in the near future. The something with guns during a crowded event. My money is on a 4th of July event shooting. Sadly that’s the only way Iran and other poor nations have to fight back. Until Iran and poor nations get nukes they will be taken advantage of. I’m pro Iran nukes simple because them not having them is obviously not working for anyone

      It’s pretty straightforward, they have to do something, but they really don’t want a war with the US despite any public comments. An attack that can be directly traced to Iran that even targeted the mainland would be a great way to ensure the US escalates.

      There hasn’t been a war on U.S. mainland in 150 years. If a misil hits it it could trigger easily WWIII. Last attack on U.S. was 9/11 and that started multiple wars.
