I suspect B-52s are in the air...
“...What’s our strategy to end the war begun in 1979?...”
Should be to kill them all, let God or Allah sort ‘em out...
Yep, I have a feeling that the B-52s on Diego Garcia are just an initial diversion. The likely scenario is for B-2s, F-22s, and F-35s to be used initially (along with cruise missiles), and then for the B-52s to come in once air dominance is achieved. The Iranian Air Force would take all of 5 minutes to eliminate. The bigger priority is the SAM sites. We may soon find out if the near invincibility to SAMs that was claimed for the F-35 at Red Flag is real.
I’ve been waiting for this for 40 years. WHEN the U.S. pulverize Iranian targets it will hasten a long needed regime change. Screw the left. Get it done, let the AINO’s (Americans in name only) screem and cry like they do. If it goes as it should. The whole world will reluctantly praise Donald Trump for getting done what NO other person would ever have been able to. Trump needs to be put on Mount Rushmore!
It gets worse. We were threatened with “hard, firm, regrettable” attacks by their General Hussein Salami.

US DEFENSE OFFICIAL: IT’S A MASS ATTACK. ALL OUR BASES ARE GETTING HIT BY CRUISE MISSILES AND SHORT RANGE BALLISTIC MISSILES. NOT JUST AIN AL ASSAD. ALL ACROSS IRAQ.
>>I don’t think Iran is either this bold, or this stupid.<<
I agree. Make triple double absolute for a fact sure it was Iran and not a trouble maker. Then when the facts are in act appropriately
So Iran just attacked Iraq?
Didn’t they only develop cruise missiles after Barack Muslim 0moeba didn’t destroy one which landed in Iran intact?
They are just that stupid.
Leave it the Freepers to find humor in anything.
Guess Iran’s ground to ground artillery corps, infrastructure and a few palaces need some hellfire, JDAMS and other goodies for a proper response.
the ballon just went up.
It is likely that this attack was planned and the reason for solomani’s death
My son was there during the initial war in Iraq, multiple missiles per day was the norm.
Iranian TV says Tehran has launched missiles at U.S. bases in IraqWASHINGTON — Iran launched a series of missile attacks aimed at U.S. bases in Iraq, Iranian state television reported Tuesday, saying that the missiles had been launched as the opening of Tehran’s “revenge” for the U.S. killing last week of a top Iranian general. The Iranian Fars news agency showed footage that it said showed “tens” of missiles being launched toward the Al Assad air base in northwest Iraq, which houses both Iraqi and U.S. forces. The attack was the “beginning of a harsh Iranian revenge” for the death of Gen. Qassem Suleimani, the Iranians said.
*** I don’t think Iran is either this bold, or this stupid. ***
Apparently, they decided to do it now before the deployments and build up by the US.
Nothing about the attack on Fars’s English language website or Twitter feed yet.
We had contingency plans to use nuke then. Please, you experts can shove your sources, I was there and helped plot the strike. (singular) on a certain “Uuuge” target. “Hey you pimps of paradise. We’re going to help you put up that parking lot”.
Just heard it said by the security analyst chick on Fox News. Proxies inside Iran. How does Iran explain that as not being government approved?
