Trump Tweets Surprise Threat To Iran After Latest Attack On Baghdad Embassy
President Trump in a surprise late Wednesday tweet has directly blamed Iran for the Sunday rocket attack on the US Embassy in Baghdad, which according to prior reports involved eight ground-fired rockets targeting the compound.
It comes as the USS Georgia nuclear submarine is currently deployed to the Strait of Hormuz in very open signaling that the Pentagon is prepared to react to any possible escalation form the Islamic Republic.
Trump cited intelligence chatter in his latest statement on Twitter, saying, “Our embassy in Baghdad got hit Sunday by several rockets. Three rockets failed to launch. Guess where they were from: IRAN.”

He included a photograph of unexploded ordinance, which appears to depict some of the very rockets among the Sunday night volley which activated the embassy compound’s counter-rocket defense system. Apparently these failed to explode on impact.
“Now we hear chatter of additional attacks against Americans in Iraq,” Trump added, before warning that “If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over.”
…Some friendly health advice to Iran: If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over.

Iran has repeatedly vowed of late to retaliate both for Soleimani’s killing (the one year anniversary of his Jan. 3, 2020 death is less than two weeks away) but also for the more recent death of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which leaders in Tehran have blamed on Israel and the US.

So he is supposed to let “stuff” go until slo Joe gets here?
It’s still his watch. And will be for at least another month.
Remember when the media and the Democrats and leftists are all allegedly upset about a bounty being paid on American soldiers?
Now they will say that Trump is taking us to war recklessly.

Whoa...
Obviously it wouldn’t stay right there.

SSGN these days (and has been for awhile).
I remember back when they were being converted.

Wow. Thanks for the info.
Bitch slap the mullahs. Let Biden deal with it if he’s lucky enough to take office.
Considering the fact that Iraq loves Iran and only loves our money, I say get the hell out of there. This is a no-win situation for the US. Bush is responsible for installing a pro-Iran government in Iraq. Just one of his many screw ups that cost American lives and treasure.
If it floats and is bigger than a shitcan, it’s a target. Watch where you’re boating, they bite.
Nuke ‘em.
And look at that device on the back. /cough

I’m sure she’s in deeper water by now. I certainly hope so. Same for the Israeli boat.
[Nuke ‘em.]
I’m guessing that’s the end game of Ezekiel 38. Which happens after Iran attempts their poorly-conceived invasion (attempt) of Israel.
Again, we sure do live in interesting times.
Kinda like the 7 card stud I played on the boat back in the day. The four cards showing a pair aren’t the worry, it’s the three in the hole that kill you.
Exactly - such boats on the surface in that tight area makes me think others could be...in position.
That’s how I would play it, anyways.
