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.

How did immediately go?-)
“They have drones and ballistic missiles confirmed to be able to travel 2,000km. DG is 3,800 KM from DG.”
They can send out a ‘fishing boat’ that can travel a good part of the way.
Since Trump is anxious to annex territory and Britain is anxious to give it away, Trump should annex Diego Garcia.
“there will be bombing,”
Iran has enough U-235 for at least a dozen bombs.
Since we don’t know the exact amount, Iran could smuggle in enough U-235 to vaporize most of NW DC.
What if the US decides to retaliate?
Maybe a critical amount was smuggled into NYC, LA or Chicago too.

“if they don’t currently have the capacity to reach that far, they soon will”
It is fairly simple to add a large booster that can extend the range of a missile.
It is a distant spec, so yes, there is that. They can barely aim at TelAviv.
And lots of controlled airspace and territory to fly over before you get there.
And then, when you get there, you are faced with a target with almost all of its facilities made out of hardened concrete deeply buried, surrounded by redundant rings of anti-missile and anti-aircraft weaponry designed to take on a full onslaught by China.
Iran could launch everything it ever had, close up by barge (like it wouldn’t get sunk first) and the base wouldn’t take a serious hit, as even if a missile somehow slipped in, as none carry a warhead large enough to do real damage.
To have a shot they’d have to launch nukes. They don’t have lifters big enough even if they could cobble together some warheads.
I’m sure it isn’t rocket science... wait...
