Have been hearing murmurs of #Iran moving missiles to #Iraq and that was why @SecPompeo visited Iraq. Missile types floating around the rumor mill include the Zolfaqar (RED) and Fateh-110/Khalij Fars (BLUE) and a possible deployment to Basrah. Here's how those ranges look mapped

If one missile is fired at US soldiers and is CONFIRMED to have been fired from Iranian equipment, we should light up every military facility in the entire country like a Christmas tree.

Yep. From Naval and air forces in international spaces. No servicemen in harms way.

It’s not a choice.

If we deploy our forces, then they will deploy theirs.

Israel is jizzing its pants from excitement. We are about to launch their war again in the ME.

Reading comprehension 101 dude.

Iran is pointing its shite at our bases and embassies. Israel didn’t make them do that. We’re just making sure we can defend and deter.

I do not want war with anyone and wish we were out of the region.

With that being said, the above quote is incredibly stupid. You don't wait until they start killing our guys just to justify hitting targets.

Israel is excited because Iran is about to start Israel’s war.

False
Israel planned it all along.
They knew the consequences of abandoning the nuclear treaty.

I think the power of the enemy plays a role. If we have lots of Patriot missile defense - which we do - and they have scud-era missiles - there’s probably not a lot of risk in them firing first.
