Iran Strikes Back: Missiles Rain Down On American Forces In Iraq
The War Zone ^ | 1/7/2020 | JOSEPH TREVITHICK

Posted on 01/07/2020 4:25:23 PM PST by reintarnation

Details are still coming in, but Iran has launched a massive missile attack against U.S. forces in Iraq, including Al Asad Air Base, in retaliation for the American drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian commander, last week. A major rocket barrage on Al Asad, which sits around 115 miles west of Baghdad, may have also preceded the strikes. U.S. President Donald Trump has already threatened a major response, including potential strikes on cultural sites, against Iran in the event of any such attack.

Well, in an hour or two, we will either confirm it’s true, or that is was a machine gun shoot in Kentucky.

Freeper InsidiousMongo says "Israel is reporting Iranian aircraft departing Iran and heading toward Iraq. US aircraft from Saudi Arabia and Turkey scrambling now in addition to those leaving the UAE."

Things getting a little more serious?

Jack Posobiec has said that a massive US response is already in the air including lots of F-35s. Also lots of flights leaving the UAE.

Don’t underestimate the B-52s, remember, they don’t fly over Iran but can launch massive amounts of precision cruise missiles from a safe distance.

A major spanking is about to begin.

God Bless President Trump.

Fox and OAN are both on this. (But ‘rain down’ seems a little overheated, at least so far.)

The stupidest thing an Iranian can do with a fighter jet is to fly it towards Americans.

They are about to lose their entire air force and navy.

Remember, Ronald Reagan sank half their navy once - Donald The Great will sink all of it along with their air force and every single base.

They are so screwed.

Donald doesn’t screw around.

At least Iran has the Democrats on its side, oh, and the American media.

I’m sure the military has a target list already. And the Navy will be heavily involved with a blockade and other operations. Remember that Iran has the latest anti aircraft missiles from Russia. Just send cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. I hope this will be a quick stomp ass and if they do it right it should be.

If that’s true then Iran is about to lose a lot of a/c.

Get a declaration of war and then go “old testament” on them. Also ,then could prosecute traitors in our midst.

I’d say first wipe out all Iranian presence abroad, from Lebanon to Iraq. Their recruiting and colonizing has to end

I hope we get all the Iranian subs. And totally cripple their navy and air force. That ought to be the first couple of items on Trump's 52 list of targets.

We don’t need to keep our troops in harms way. Let the whole Iraqi nation go to Hell in hand basket.

This is kind of like a movie script.

And the soundtrack sent to Iran is Bob Dylan singing "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall."
