Interesting move. Risks hitting Iraqis which I would assume the Iranians would want to avoid.

30 missiles? 30/52 target sites. Fair?

That might actually be considered a war crime though because it cuts off civilian infrastructure as well.

There's no way. Power grid and related infrastructure has always been fair game. At least I thought it was.

6 US F-35s seen taking of from UAE. Iran issues warning to UAE that they will be attacked should any US aircraft launched from their country attack Iran.

If it’s all for show and all missed, then let it play out, laugh, and continue to pull out of Iraq.

However, if as reported, they just killed 20 American Troops, frick their shite up. No way in hell the dems don’t authorize something.

Aside from Omar, I think all would say dead Americans is a reason to frick up those shite heads

This is a pretty pretty big escalation on their part using missles. Time to light them up and let their people see the real deal.

Remember they hate the Sunnis in Iraq so they don't give a shite about them.

If you’re not 100% equities and you have a dip/plunge account you’ll be fine.......unless of course WWIII starts at which time your investments will not be your primary concern.

Has to be a direct military target. If the cable is cut indiscriminately, not targeting any particular site, it would be the equivalent of just firebombing a city to firebomb it.

I believe this. Launch a few missles to get some footage floating around twitter knowing full well the US has surface-to-air to take those out.

Missiles were fired into Sunni and Kurdish controlled areas. Iran could care less about casualties.

Would that not also be "used to wage war" though, thus military involvement?
