Details are still coming in, but Iran has launched a massive missile attack against U.S. forces in Iraq, including Al Asad Air Base, in retaliation for the American drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian commander, last week. A major rocket barrage on Al Asad, which sits around 115 miles west of Baghdad, may have also preceded the strikes. U.S. President Donald Trump has already threatened a major response, including potential strikes on cultural sites, against Iran in the event of any such attack.

What might actually be a ‘cultural site’ in Iran ??? (Remember these would be ones of this fetid regime).
Khomeini Centre of Love ?
The Clown College of the Republican Guard ??
The Iranian Museum of Clerical Outrage ??
The Giant Pile of Money that Obama the Apostate Sent them ???

Don't need it Iran declared war on US in 1979 when they attacked our Tehran embassy and have not rescinded that. Their attack on our embassy in Bagdad was just to remind us that the war continues.
Yes, but are any of the F-14’s still flying?
The USA destroyed all of its Tomcats to keep the parts from flowing over there. There are some in museums and on static display.
The one I saw in a museum (video), the cockpit was almost totally stripped.
If you go to Wiki, supposedly Janes has estimates of about 60 F4 Phantoms, 20 F14 Tomcats and maybe 50 Russian fighters with a smattering of Chinese.

Ya got me laughing!!! LOL!!
When have they not been attacking Israel?
Your point that ground forces would have to remove the fuel from their nuclear facilities seems extremely problematic. There is no way Muslims would not leave these facilities booby-trapped 9 ways to hell. And the American people have no appetite for ground forces in Iran. Our NATO allies have no appetite for further major combat operations in the ME.
So the world will just wait until Iran detonates nuclear weapons on its enemies, which it will. Thank you Barack Obama Jr.
Could be about right. As I recall, we sold 79 F-14A to the Shah of Iran.
