Everyone may be getting a little overamped. They fired rockets yesterday, missed the base. Have to wait for actual casualty reports. If no casualties, I bet no action.

“Hearing 80 dead 20 plus wounded at An Al Asaid.”

4 times the number of dead as wounded......VERY dubious numbers.

They attacked our bases there. They want to keep the theater limited which may be why they haven’t attacked our assets in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and at sea.

They're saving them...They said if we counter attack, which we will, they will attack Israel...Hezbolla in Lebanon will unleash thousands of missiles at Israel...When Israel counter attacks they will have to go nuclear...

They don’t put the same value on life as we do, and that includes their own people.

These attacks are coming directly from Iran. Time to put the hammer down.
