So now it’s clear what happened. The 15 Iranian missles hit their target within a 100 yard area and buildings used for habitation. Just as accurate as their attack on the Saudi oil fields. So much for the intentional miss theory. We also learned that our satellite imaging detected the missle launch preparations. What was not revealed is how we knew where the missles would strike so that the targeted area could be evacuated. Was it a WAG (wild assed guess), SOP, communications intercept or human intelligence? I’m sure Iranian Intelligence is trying to determine this for themselves.

Yep, they were as accurate as expected.

I assume they have fairly robust bomb shelters. It’s possible they’re hardened shelters with serious layers of concrete above them. We’ve certainly spent enough money on infrastructure in Iraq.

I remember reading that Finland of all nations had been informed of the strike plans, and allowed to act as an unofficial emissary to notify the US.

Not sure if that was proven accurate.

Either we had no fire control at those bases or the Iranians wanted to take them out.
