IRAN'S twisted generals have demanded an "immediate" strike on a US military base in response to Donald Trump's continued threats to bomb the region.
The US president's B-2 stealth bomber strike force has already starting massing on the island of Diego Garcia with his team now aimed directly at Iran.
Trump warned Iran on Sunday that there would be “bombing the likes of which they have never seen before” if Iran continues to rejects his nuclear weapons proposal.
The president set a deadline to the Ayatollah to come to the table to discuss the complete disarmament of all nuclear weapons.
He even sent a letter to the supreme leader earlier this month, urging him to negotiate or face the prospect of "terrible" military intervention.
Iran has appeared to have taken the Trump threats seriously.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded to Trump's threats, saying the US would receive a "strong blow" if they decide to act.

FAFO
Here we go?
Depends upon how dumb Iran’s
Twelver Mullahs truly are.
I certainly don’t count on
them ever being reasonable
FAFO is a two way street.

Then again maybe he just has no compunction about bombing the youknowwhat out of their facilities, and that's why he and the SecDef are moving all that stuff into the theater for less refueling, etc...
Diego Garcia is British territory, correct?
Yaa, seriously actually commit to a state sponsored military strike against Diego Garcia.
Let’s see how well that turns out O.O
Got to ask if IRAN generals know where Diego Garci or Arkansas are? Both are a very long reach for a nation that only seems to threaten neighbors and pass gas, perhaps they should get on one of their outboard powered navy boats and spend some time boating to the threat.
Whom would perform such a military strike against US assets on Diego Garcia ?
They have drones and ballistic missiles confirmed to be able to travel 2,000km. DG is 3,800 KM from DG. However, I’m sure all that cooperation between Russia and the Mullahs means that if they don’t currently have the capacity to reach that far, they soon will.
And yet there are still people on this site who simp for Vlad and make excuses for him.
This could get ugly, very fast. Could this be the start of WW III. I would think our ships in the Persian Gulf would be a more tempting target. That or the Naval Base in Dubai—could be like Pearl Harbor. The US bases in Iraq and Syria might be closer and easy to hit. Or, an Invasion of Southern Iraq?
Yup. I thought Trump was going to keep us out of war.
lol. No.
Iran is very good at sponsoring fighters and terrorists . It sucks at fighting itself.
Diego Garcia is just a spec in the ocean. Should be easy enough to take out. Those KC-135’s would have to be on full alert should those bombers suddenly have no home.
Is the distance what makes the island safe? The drones-impactful enough?

Why would they all go straight home?
Also, I believe they have a decent range. Plenty of time to get tankers to them.
It sure would be nice to have plenty of bases in the region though. *cough* Bagram *cough* Biden *cough*
“And yet there are still people on this site who simp for Vlad and make excuses for him.”
That’s the truth!
Unless Iran’s generals are planning a one-way trip, their strike force has an 8000-mile round trip ahead of them.
Stupid as hell— these idiots haven’t the capacity to make the nautical mile distance to deliver a hand grenade. Their “missiles” are certainly not accurate enough and in any case would be wiped out over the Indian Ocean. Possibly by.. the Indian Navy. Think about that Iran!
