Now let's see what Israel does. If they're relatively content with the status quo, I think the limited engagement may stay pretty limited.

Iran literally told us about it beforehand to avoid any casualties. This was for them to "save face" and nothing more than fireworks show


Is it really “saving face” if everyone on the planet knows they were just trying to save face? Iran is dumb

"The New York Times is now reporting that Iran’s missile attack on the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar may have been more symbolic than strategic."

Yea I am glad they broke that down for us.

Anyone with a brain could figure out that a 6 missile attack is symbolic.

Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The “N word” should not be treated so casually. I guess that’s why Putin’s “THE BOSS.” By the way, if anyone thinks our “hardware” was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!


In retrospect it would have been a good idea to ship bus loads of people from all over the country to Washington to celebrate his birthday....

Iran has claimed they are done now.


Highly likely that this fizzles out soon, especially from the perpsective of open US involvement.

But who the hell knows when it comes to states with an axe to grind and their sponsored terrorists. Could be years but I'm sure they'll try something.

Likely for internal consumption. They can tell the Iranian citizens that they hit the US and that, if the US doesn’t retaliate, they say that they humiliated the US and scared it into backing off.

I'm sure they are printing articles about how they bombed dozens of US bases and herocially defended their nation against aggressors and that their enrichment sites were purely for power generation

Yes there's a reason over 70% of the internet is blocked in Iran. They control what the people hear and see.

They know Yeah Iran tries to restrict their internet but they get plenty of news from the outside. It’s not like North Korea where most of the population lives in the Stone Age without electricity.

They fight consistent unrest from civilians. They must continue to appear strong to squash more protest like they had in 2022
