“They’re allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to torture and maim our people. they’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural site? It doesn’t work that way"

He’s up to something, like always. Just wait and see what it is.

For any liberals who don’t like this, don’t think of them as “cultural sites”, think of them as Confederate Monuments.

If they don’t share their cultural sites with the world, don’t really serve much of a purpose anyway.

I agree with you but I can’t see Trump destroying that kind of thing.
He understands history and how the common people view things.

Doesn’t anyone remember that islamists HAVE ALREADY DESTROYED CULTURAL SITES IN IRAN?

Some of the old Zoroastrian history ought to be left alone.
Tell that to them or someone who cares.

I’m happy your dad was able to vote for Trump

My grandfather, a staunch secular-Jewish Reaganite Republican (yes very rare indeed in those days) died in 2005. I remember him clearly telling my mom to “watch out for him” after Obama’s 2004 DNC speech.
My mother and I were discussing what Grandpa would have thought of Trump and we both agreed he would have absolutely loved him. We joked that if cancer didn’t kill him in 2005, then the Obama presidency certainly would have.

Maybe they will retaliate by doing something really unspeakable, like kidnapping obama administration officials and holding them for ransom.(/evilgrin)

iranian hostage crisis was 444 days if I recall correctly, I was 11 at the time so cut me some slack. LOL

if they kidnap obama officials let them have them for 888 days LOL

Yeah, leave the Zoroastrian stuff alone. Mullahs don't like that stuff anyhow.

What military assets are under their cultural sites?

Doubt Trump would blow up a cultural site without a good reason.
Building a missle factory under a cultural site, makes for an excellent reason.

Personally, using the term "cultural sites" strikes me as odd. Why would we do that? That doesn't sound like a thing we would do.

BUT...

I have learned Trump knows what he is doing. I trust him and I feel certain there is a very good reason he keeps using this specific term. It doesn't matter if I understand fully; the people this message is intended for know exactly what he means.

At this point, I am hoping the Iranians do indeed make an attempt on American assets (though I hope no one is harmed on our side).

You won't get one without the other.

I would suspect he’s referring to mosques and other civilian sites where the Iranians have hidden missiles, launching sites, etc. and that they know exactly what he’s talking about.

Irans Navy and Air Force aren’t quite up to our standards.It would take maybe 8 hours to completely vanquish both.
Come on Iran get froggy. Jump and see how fast ya all get slapped the hell down.
Stealth and Cruse will knock you on your ass the likes of witch you cannot imagine.
Way past time anyone kicks your asses.

Khomeini kept the monument and changed the name to Freedom Tower in honor of the Revolution. It has been a frequent gathering place of pro-regime demonstrations, including for Soleimani.

I have visited the park and monument. Very impressive structure.
