Iranian backed terrorists bomb Al Assad airbase in Iraq

What will be the US response? Iran seems to be confidently launching missiles all over the place and have vowed revenge against Israel for attacking Syria, will the US step in and strike areas in Iran?

a reply to: stu119

The US is very unlikely to strike target within Iran's borders as that would be seen as an escalation of the current conflict, and would be counter to the US goals in the region.

The US will continue to strike at Iranian assets in the ME; leaving any direct military action against Iran to Israel (and other regional "allies").

Iran has done this allready last 2 weeks


3 direct attacks :
- Launched attack drone that struck a commercial vessel (4 Jan)
- Hijacked a merchant ship & took hostages (11 Jan)
- Ballistic missile strikes in Iraq & Syria (15 Jan) And this most recent

There is a floating intelligence and targeting platform - the Behshad - manned by a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) called the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directing Houthi attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

CENTCOM wants to take out this platform directing and coordinating these attacks, but the Pentagon and the White House won’t let that happen - they falsely believe that doing so would broaden the scope of the war.

Those making the argument that any actions that make Tehran feel pain “will lead to war with Iran” don’t understand that THIS IS WHAT WAR WITH IRAN LOOKS LIKE - and we are letting them win.

The Playbook: Iran turns up the heat through its proxies in order to get the West to make concessions that economically and militarily benefit Tehran. Iran knows better than any country that there is no better team at making concessions and ceding leverage than this WH. They know it so well because Biden's team is Obama's JCPOA/Iraq/Syria team.

Former Centcom spokesman @JoeBuccino10 said earlier this week White House has “disapproved many times” Centcom plans to strike harder against the Houthis and inside Iran. “There are a series of targets you can strike that will not ignite a war, but will send a message and will really inflict pain. That's really what you got to do here.”

Obama is on phone with Biden : NO! dont strike Iran ffs!

The Middle East is cleaning up some ISIS (Israel Secret Intelligence Service) before round two kicks off. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Hitler screwed up when not knowing when to stop.

With this two thousand year BS going on and they ain't dead yet, why should this time be any different? Lots of innocents will die as why we fight lives on. You think it is hot now, wait till the peak on the next USA election if we make it that far.

We must be careful and considerate as not to insult and degrade the Iranian spies and paid informants inside the U.S. Gov Executive Branch Departments. 😀

Traitors right inside the u.s. gov. (may have originated in Obama/Kerry State Department!) 🤡
*Think about why Kerry has been fumblefu*king around as "climate" czar, and now has quit. 🤡


High-Level Iranian Spy Ring Busted in Washington

The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails. The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets. They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier.
