"We were expecting the missile launch," one official said, but there was concern just how close Iran was willing to push the envelope. While 100 miles is well over the horizon and not visible from the aircraft carrier or its escort ships, American spy satellites orbiting high above in space tracked the missile launch from the Islamic Republic. It's not immediately clear if the AN/SPY-1 radar aboard the guided-missile cruiser escorting the aircraft carrier Nimitz tracked the launch. Nimitz has remained in the northern Arabian Sea on the orders of President Trump through the inauguration. Earlier this month, in an about-face, the Pentagon had reversed course and ordered the Nimitz to turn around and remain in the region. The aircraft carrier put to sea in early April from Washington state after the crew quarantined onboard pierside for two weeks.

Trump should order an immediate all out counter attack. If we wait for Biden all that happen is another pallet of cash to them.
Split three ways. Some for Hunter and a taste for Big Guy, too.
missed us by 20 miles? so close yet so far away.
Many countries see clearly what happened on Nov. 3 and afterwards. They know America will be too divided to respond, and they will act accordingly. Moreover, another large war or uncontrolled incident, and the US debt bubble explodes and the US dollar loses a good chunk of its global reserve status.
Who brought the US Empire to such a state?
I, for one, am done with the US deep state’s international games and schemes.
And leave Joe the Usurper with a war to manage?
Tough call, that one.
Good old mullah know-how.
Tel Aviv is next.
Hope the anguished Yentls of Westchester County like what they installed. I can’t say “elected” because he wasnt.
Don’t worry. When Biden is president the first thing he will do to placate Iran is send $150 billion via midnight express like Osama Obama did and they will stop making nukes .... bwhahahahaha!

You and me may be done with the deep state’s international games, but deep state is far from being done. Deep state is raking in too much money exporting middle class manufacturing jobs to foreign lands where labor cost is much lower.
I no longer care what Iran does.
Put the liberal democrat ben sasse out there so he can get an up close look art what terrorists really are.
Already baiting wimp in chief and his minions.
No question about it. At this time Trump should launch missiles at all known Iranian nuclear sites, ammunition sites and oil terminals.Don’t ask permission from Congress. I’m sure Bebe would be with us as well as the Saudis/ That would be a great addition to his legacy.
The SPY-1 more than likely tracked the missile.
Has President-Erect Biden sent Iran a congratulatory note yet?
Jo jo would immediately surrender.😝
Don’t woory. Biden’s team will make sure they hit.
