Whatever we hit is inconsequential given that fact that Iran has had a week to move what and who they wanted to move back to safe haven.

You don’t know that and given the wide range of our attacks it’s impossible they could even get everything out if they tried.

Ought it not take weeks to determine targets...that alone is rather chilling

Another sideshow of the BHO legacy

Look, we get it, you’re desperate for a win for your dear leader, but telegraphing to Iran your intentions a week in advance and allowing them to move key personnel and assets before you bomb them isn’t a win.

Not desperate at all. Just amusing to see the same parroted response to this without really knowing any details about what we hit. Then when given details about what we hit, saying “nah they didn’t really care about that stuff.”

Yeah, Iran didn’t at all take advantage of that week your dear leader spent telegraphing his plans to them.

There may be a limited contingent of Iranian Special Group forces that have been working in Syria and Iraq for training of militia.

But it is fundamentalists that Iran is supporting with $$ and weapons that are being targeted, and they are certainly not packing up and going to Iran.

The targets are vetted and being executed and monitored. The reactions to the attacks or attempts to go to ground will provide even more fidelity on target profiles and allow for future exploitation.

What you will not see are the US SOF efforts for surgical strikes.

I only hope it leads to actionable intel to justify strikes into Iran. They need put back in their box, and we fricked up in Iraq, as it took away the greatest counterweight to Iranian influence in the region.

“Obama via Biden will order bombing of some goat shacks in Syria. Then gloat about these high value targets that were destroyed.”

When the value of a hit target is less than the missile it needs to be counted as a miss. Need some metrics to id the degree of waste

I'm sure the OSINT bros will be posting before pics showing equipment in place and after pics with craters but no signs of destroyed equipment.

Some fair points. But, Biden and his team have been downplaying Iranian involvement yet they are hitting Iranian assets in Syria and Iraq. If its not Iran, then why hit those targets?
Also, as I've mentioned before, this is a result of 60 years of failed US/Iran policy. Not just Biden. All of Washington cannot get it right. Meanwhile, American troops come home through Dover in coffins. Unfortunately, I'm sure there will be more to come.

Guarantee these strikes didn't kill more than 100 people.

This would have been the perfect opportunity to take out their reactors, but this isn’t about protecting America or her greater interests.

It’s false bravado by your leader.

You and your ilk pretending that he is a tough guy is comical.

What was your position on the Bush Regime’s claims of WMDs in Iraq?

Tell the truth.

Regardless, at this late stage, it is equally amusing to see anyone take any claim by our nation’s wholly corrupted national security apparatus at face value.

We almost always attack at night.

But we usually don’t give the enemy a heads up so they can evacuate their equipment and personnel out of the places that we are going to bomb
