Huge: US official confirms Iran has also fired ballistic missiles at a US military installation in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, which provides facilities and services to hundreds (possibly thousands) of coalition personnel and CIA operatives.— Ranj Alaaldin (@RanjAlaaldin) January 7, 2020

6 US F-35s seen taking of from UAE. Iran issues warning to UAE that they will be attacked should any US aircraft launched from their country attack Iran.
What’s the warplan?
Comment 155 is the best information so far, everybody.
Going out to look around...
Iranian Regime Posts Fake Photo of Bombing at Al-Assad Airbase — Photo Is from Gaza in 2019!
Yep, and Donald Trump will have imobalized a world threat by check mating the Iranian Mullahs into fleeing like cockroaches so the people can have their country back. Chris Coons on Martha right now “We need to de-escalate and show appeasement” Bull crap! This is a golden opertunity to once and for all turn the screws to these F ers. Trump will be the first sitting president to win the Nobel peace prize AFTER being ‘not’ impeached. We need to get him on Rushmore
From 2015:
“The commander of Iran’s army said on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic would destroy Israel at all costs ...”
They’ve said that a number of times. Perhaps the Big Guy finally decided he’s had enough, and is sending in the Varsity Team (US) to shut them up.
If so, hurrah for our side.
I am praying for the Iranian civilians and that we end Iran’s reign of terrorism once and for all!!
I actually feel sorry for any Iranian pilots, poor bastards dont have a chance, if I was them i would land at the nearest base in Saudi Arabia.
Appeasement?! As if that has EVER worked.
Iraqi Scud missile hit a US base in Gulf WAR I and killed 27. Any rocket attack is serious.
Pentagon: At approximately 5:30 pm on Jan. 7, Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq...these missiles were launched from Iran & targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting US military & coalition personnel...”
Rockets aren’t missiles. Rockets small, missiles big.
Source?
Refinery strikes might give the market the shakes.

When the US became energy independent we took away the best weapon the Muslims had against the US.
Europe will be getting their oil from Russia.
Question, where does China get it’s oil? They may be the one hurting if their supplies are cut off.
I just checked. Can’t find any new NOTAMs for the region...
Rockets can be big or small. Usually ‘missile’ implies guidance, while ‘rocket’ implies unguided.
If the play by Iran is to solidify Iraqi resolve to remove US troops from Iraq they may well succeed. However, that will be after the Iran, as we knew it earlier today, no longer exists. G-d speed and safekeeping to our troops.
