The US military says it’s launching strikes on Iranian targets in response to Tehran’s attack on American forces a day earlier.
US Central Command said the strikes are “a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attack” and that they began Wednesday evening, in a post on social media.
It’s a further escalation after a period of calm, with the U.S. saying it had intercepted strikes from Iran a day earlier and carried out separate strikes alongside Saudi Arabia on Tehran-backed militias in neighboring Iraq.

Why are we not able to destroy Iran’s ability to launch missiles?
Cause we are still pulling our punches. 😡😡😡
I need the Andrew Jackson painting to come to life, and smack Trump on the head, and tell him to stop playing around.
“Iran's modus operandi: they always lie, they always cheat, they always play for time.”Our poor President Trump is out of his league. President Trump lives in an alternate reality where Jor-El provides him with advice.
Easier said than done.
Understatement of the year.
Because Iran is four tines larger than Iraq and their capabilities were underestimated.
Their remaining missile launchers are scattered underground in the middle of population centers. Tousi TV.
What are these airstrikes achieving?
Is this a 2 million dollar missile hitting a tent.
Iran persists in terroristic outlashings because of the religion of it's tyrants.
Iran is not conducting a war against the United States. Iran is conducting a jihad against the Great Satan. They don't want any deal or even unconditional surrender from us. They want to keep attacking us until we are dead or possibly converted to suicidal Shiism.
Lots of targets, probably moved around, hidden, obscured movement among civilians, hardened facilities (roll in and out of a mountain), some are repaired / replaced. And you have missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.
But most importantly, you have a MSM that is literally sympathetic with Iran.
Their bias / TDS has them “hopping” Iran gets a missile through. You have al Jazeera writing more favorable of what we’re doing than our media, think about that for a second!
Our media same time and story

Real story: Iran launched 5 missiles (they were shooting 100-200 a day, now 5), we shoot everything down. Now they get hit by an order of magnitude worse that what they “wanted” to inflict but failed at and our media attempts to spin this as some failure.
If youre that committed you should have already signed up to fight, or parachuted in, and mot be a keyboard warrior.
🚨 1/3 Fox News Poll: Voters oppose the Iran war, see prolonged commitment

🚨 2/3 Matt Walsh:
“I can’t take the gaslighting, guys. I really can’t. Conservatives are now running around saying “Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years.” Okay then why didn’t any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn’t you make a case for Trump “ending the war, not starting it” until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you’re trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn’t make any sense. ...”

🚨 3/3 “The Pentagon never told the public how badly U.S. troops got hit in the Iran war...
A FOIA request just spilled it.
New Defense Department records show more than 400 casualties in the first 6 weeks alone, including 17 life-threatening injuries.
The Army took the worst of it, over 270 wounded, with head trauma the most common injury by far.
Some of the ugliest days never made it to the public.
CENTCOM, which only releases monthly totals, quietly sat on the 70 casualties logged on a single day in March.
And since Trump ended the truce this month, 200-plus more casualties and 4 more deaths have piled up, right as the official death toll got quietly revised down from 18 to 14.
Accounting gymnastics can shrink the toll, but there are real bodies on the ground.

Is this a 2 million dollar missile hitting a tent.
And the occasional school.
Not even 6 months in and the pro-war crowd keeps hoping the dead will return to lead the effort to victory. It’d be funny if it wasn’t pathetic, and getting Americans killed.
We have destroyed Irans nuclear weapons program and much of their air defense and missile launch/ drone capabilities
Iran is no longer a serious threat to their neighbors even if they can launch small , uncoordinated random missile strikes
Iran can do some limited damage to shipping and oil refineries but Iran
cannot shut down the Persian Gulf
The real solution is regime change and that is what President Trump is shooting for. It may take a while, but regime change will likely occur in iran
Again, his Philosophy of total War.
