Iran fired 12 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles, and four drones at the UAE today, says the Emirati Defense Ministry.

The attacks caused three moderate injuries.

Since the start of the war on February 28, Iran has fired 549 ballistic missiles, 29 cruise missiles, and 2,260 drones at the UAE, which has suffered more Iranian attacks than any other country.

Mr. President, it is time to wipe the IRGC off the face of the earth.

My take is that Iran is trying to engage the US into a land war with US troops on the ground.

Since the mullahs could care less if their IRGC and Army troops are killed in a land war, that seems to be the thought process behind this recent attack on the UAE.

Impossible. They cant have that many missiles. Trump says their weapons have been destroyed.

The IRGC is actually in control of Iran, and have been effectively been for many years. The top leadership is probably just about as much into the 12 Iman dead end apocalyptic thing at the mullahs but I think I’m more likely possibility is that they feel they can outlast us since the United States has become so antiwar in the last 70 years.

My thought as well. Aren’t they all Arabs? Must be the difference between Sunnis & Shia primarily. Knotheads can’t even agree with each other, something like Repubs & Dems here.
We need a change & badly.

Iranians are not Arabs.

Look for Iran to test out the Chinese missiles that were flown in during the Cease Fire.

If you are in favor of dropping a nuclear weapon on Iran at this point in the conflict you are not an intelligent person.

If Iran wants an atom bomb so bad why not give them a dozen?

The Iranians are crazy, I think.

My mind couldn't figure out why Iran launched so many drones and missiles at their nearest neighbors like Kuwait, Oman, UAE, etc. Seems like they would want them as Allies in their war against Israel and the USA.

Turns out Iran doesn't want them as allies. It thinks it can invade them, occupy BOTH sides of the Gulf, win this war and take ALL the oil!

It doesn't matter that their neighbors are fellow Muslims, they're not good enough Muslims anyway. They think they can conquer and destroy everyone, and take it all for themselves.

It won't end well for them.

Maybe it is time to put this up for a vote in congress.

Free passage of vessels in the straight or a declaration of war with Iran.

And would think being sure it will pass before presenting it.

A filibuster would work in President Trumps favor.

Don’t we have air assets loitering near Iranian airspace, to hit launch sites when a launch is detected? If not, why not?

If you are in favor of dropping a nuclear weapon on Iran at this point in the conflict you are not an intelligent person.

An exception might be on a confirmed location of the enriched uranium storage. A little 5KT nuke in deep penetrating mode would render it unrecoverable.

What is keeping the UAE from firing back at Iran?

Use your money buying weapons and ammunition to fight your own battles.
