Looks like Sundance got his check from Iran.
We have learned the DNC is a much greater threat than Iran over the course of the last three years. When do we start bombing them?

I haven’t heard much about this in the Lame Stream Media. This is only the second article I’ve seen.

The situation is changing rapidly in Iraq in the hours following the U.S. strikes on Kata'ib Hezbollah in Iraq and Syria.

Casualty reports from the strikes are wide-ranging, but all include multiple killed and wounded. Key individuals tied to the group and Iran's Quds forces are vowing revenge:

The Iraqi government appears to have not given its approval for the strikes, which could result in a huge division between the Washington and Baghdad in the hours and days ahead:

Spox said that #Iraq's PM "expressed his strong objection to this unilateral decision and his concern that it would lead to further escalation and demanded that he [Esper] stop it [airstrikes] immediately.”. #Iran #Hezbollah

Multiple reports on social media of a large blast heard in Baghdad's Green Zone and an increased U.S. military presence there, but these cannot be confirmed at this time.
President Trump is meeting with top foreign policy and defense officials at Mar-a-Lago following the strikes:
Senior national security leaders, including U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, were expected to brief President Donald Trump in Florida on the strikes in Iraq and Syria, U.S. officials say.

Esper and Pompeo say they came to Mar-A-Lago to brief Trump on events in Middle East. Pentagon targeted five sites in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for attack by Iranian backed militia attack on Iraqi facility that endangered US troops, and additional options under consideration

UPDATE: 4:35pm PST—
As predicted above, a real rift is emerging here. Iran will do anything it can to capitalize on it and further its influence, both military and political, in Iraq:
Spokesman of the commander of #Iraq’s Armed Forces, Abdelkarim Khalaf, said during a live INTV on state TV that “these strikes represents a treacherous stab in the back.”. #Iran

Once again, the situation remains fluid and some of these details are bound to be revised in the hours to come.
We will update this post as this developing story continues to unfold.
How is only 25 dead decisive?
All dead is decisive
All dead in Hezbollah Lebanon is decisive
