Breaking a 5-day silence over its response for the US killing of General Qassem Soleimani, on Tuesday Iran said it was assessing 13 scenarios to inflict a "historic nightmare" on the US. "Even if the weakest of these scenarios gain a consensus, its implementation can be a historic nightmare for the Americans," Ali Shamkhani, the head of Iran's national security council, was cited by Fars news agency, adding that, "For now, for intelligence reasons, we cannot provide more information to the media."

Iranian officials previously said that U.S. forces in the region will be targets, and overnight the Iranian parliament on Tuesday designated the Pentagon and affiliated companies as terrorists. In response, the U.S. issued a warning to shipping in the Middle East over the possibility of Iranian action against U.S. maritime interests, the Associated Press reported, citing a statement.

I hope their strategy involved presenting targets for our drones to hit, perhaps even their navy and air force. The drone operators need more practice.

Day 1: achieve air superiority, probably before breakfast.
Day 2: Sink entire Navy
Day 3: Take day off and give mad Mullah’s a chance to surrender


After the first 30 minutes:
Objectives 1 & 2 are achieved as well as all other tactical and strategic targets eliminated.

Objective 3: Take an hour off and give mad Mullah’s a chance to surrender

their AF consists of a few, perhaps flyable (combat rated number would be smaller maybe 1-2 planes) Tomcats and a handful of still older MiGs

Americans are going to be asking themselves if they want to continue with a no-nonsense president when it comes to existential threats like Iran or North Korea, or if they want a pacifier in charge.

Putting a price on the head of the President of the United States by itself is an act of war in my book.

Agreeing to cash in on it should be also an act of war.

No war will come. They will slide back to using terrorism, car bombs, Take down an airliner or blow up a hotel. Attack Israel and embassys in the area. They will be sneaky rather than openly attack a us Ship, or a US base.

Noooo…
What if they hit our top secret strategists in Hollywood?
That would be a disaster. Thank God they don’t know that’s where all our greatest minds and military secrets are kept.
It would cause a collapse in the American way of life!!!!
Please don’t let them know.
