Quick observations
Iran/Iraq
Iran’s leadership is saying it wants it to be clear they are retaliating. Reportedly discussing 13 scenarios. Included in targeting are US facilities in the gulf besides Iraq.
40 “mourners” (and increasing) killed in stampede in Tehran. Of course Trump’s fault.
Iranian and US forces positioning and repositioning in anticipation of Iran’s attack. Of note is Iran’s missile and naval elements.
Keeping all potential Iranian options in mind, use of their ballistic missiles is gaining ground in my mind. Again such use legitimizes all of Iran as a target zone. Now in 36 hour window. If Iranian leadership still planning or making decisions I don’t anticipate anything sooner.
Because of their signature - launch of ballistic missiles could allow the US to near immediately counter strike via cruse missiles with usaf and naval follow on shortly there after. It could be something like we’ve never seen before.
“40 “mourners” (and increasing) killed in stampede in Tehran. Of course Trump’s fault.”
Imagine what would happen with a simple F-35 flyover.
Iran knows that the only way they can pull the Shiite and Sunni Muslims together is to attack the common enemy Israel. I expect them to launch missiles toward Israel.
