The Telegraph / Yahoo News

quote:

Iranian armed forces have called for a preemptive strike on the Diego Garcia military base before America uses it to target the Islamic Republic.

A senior Iranian official said military commanders have been asked to target the joint UK-US base, which sits on Britain’s Chagos Islands, in an attempt to deter Donald Trump from striking Iran.

The official in Tehran told The Telegraph: “Top commanders are being urged to launch preemptive strikes on the island and its base if Trump’s threats have become more serious.”

The base supports B-1 Lancer, B-2 Spirit, and B-52 Stratofortress bombers, so it is significant for operations across Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Some 4,000 military personnel and contractors – the majority of whom are American – are also housed at the base.

Pete sure is going to be busy at the rate we're going. Iran, Yemen, Panama, Greenland, what else am I missing? Russia?

I’d bet decent money the Iranian missile couldn’t even make it to blue water sea, much less hit the base.

That senior Iranian official is probably someone in the U.S. intel community.

So who is urging Iran to openly declare war on the US via a military attack on our military base?

We’d obliterate Iran with missles from multiple sources within minutes of such an attack.

How does striking a US base deter the US from striking Iran? If anything they just sealed their fate.

They only managed to kill one Arab in their most recent 500 mile ballistic missile attack. But yes Ayotollah, tell me how the might of Iran will bring America to its knees.

Iranians are afraid that the US will attack Iran so in order to prevent it from happening, they’ll ensure that it happens.


Smart.

How exactly would Iran get to Diego Garcia?

Might as well have urged them to attack the North Pole.

I would wager their idea would be that it takes out our best capability to retaliate immediately, and they would call for a de-escalation afterwards. They probably all saw all the liberals rioting for Hamas and figure they would do the same for them


The US should drop a nuke on Tehran if they start a war with us. frick them goats
