Is oil all you can think about at a time like this? While poor Richard Ere is mourning the loss of his Erbil?

Great precision. Poor accuracy.

But it could be both if that is what they were aiming at.

Most likely both.

Hey Neocons, How’s that Regime Change thing working out?

IRGC-QF chief Soleimani was killed in #Iraq on 7Jan20—01:20 Iraq time. (Same time of the night.)

So, what DID these missiles hit?

It appears the launch location is no secret.

Pooty’s having his Iranian buds stir up a little trouble to keep us distracted?

So, why is SLO JOE still wanting to give Iran billions of dollars and trying to negotiate a nuclear deal?

seems like they missed their targets

Muqtada al Sadr’s minions used to fire Iranian missiles at American/Coalition sites around Baghdad back in the 00s.

They were pretty inaccurate then, too.

Unfortunately, they occasionally “got lucky,” such as during a nasty assault on the Green Zone in the spring of ‘08. I was there processing out at the end of a mission during that time. I had gone with a friend to the Post Office to mail a footlocker home when one hit about 70 feet from where the desk I’d been using during my outprocessing was. (Phoenix Base.) A soldier working out in the gym was killed.

That was an awful time.

This is how the Iranians respond to Biden and company.
They in turn will bend over more like obama.
Please Mullah I need more rocket attacks.

They already got the bomb, and now oil to several fur pelts after the EMP in outer space makes money and energy meaningless?

Biden: Oh, boy! I get to preside over WW III! That’ll get my approval rating up. Iran came through on our “deal”. FDR went down in history despite his disabled legs, because he had a world war. I’ll go down in history despite my disabled brain, because—WW III! YAHOOOOOOOO! EEEEEHAAA! (No, that’s what Slim Pickens said when he rode a bomb down in Gone with the Wind; what should I say? I know. Frankly, m’dear, I don’t give a damn. There. Historic AND presidential. History, here I come)!

Why would Iran on the brink of total sanctions relief, would launch 12 missiles *from within its own territory* against the US consulate?

How would launching 12 missiles help end sanctions against them from the U.S. ?

Furthermore, has the leadership of Iran come out and said they did this?

Who gains and who loses from this?

A ballistic missile follows a ballistic trajectory to deliver one or more warheads on a predetermined target. These weapons are guided only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered.

Iran has had it coming since 1979, and even after the Iranians killed hundreds of US Marines the Democrats still protected the Ayatollas for over 30 years. They are not going to give up on their buddies now, especially since they want another Iran Deal and AOC is wanting to inherit Pelosi’s gavel.

Russia uses Iran and Venezuela and the Norms as a distraction. But Iran is still ticked over Trump getting Soleimani, too. Just this week an ethnic Iranian/Iranian-American woman stabbed an American man she lured into a Las Vegas hotel room in revenge, so she said, for America killing General Soleimani.

That could be a blackmail warning to Biden that if he doesn’t come up with a better deal, Iran could make things very embarrassing for the administration right before the election. Or, it could be Putin using his Iranian allies to tell the Biden admin to back off on Ukraine or else the administration can be given many more things to worry about.

Be looking for Brandon to retaliate by carpet bombing Iran with pallets full of cash.

Maybe this is a feature of the new Iran deal - Iran is free to kill Americans, however they like.

Actually, as anti-American as some of these Lefties are, the deal might require Iran to kill some monthly minimum… (sarcasm)

Just a love letter to Biden. Iran is saying to Biden, we’ll sell you oil, but it is going to be $200 per barrel.
