DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran is not seeking escalation or war, Iranian Foreign Minister tweeted after Tehran hit U.S. targets in Iraq on Wednesday, adding that Tehran would defend itself against any aggression.

War’s over, we win.
That was easy. So much for WW3.
Everyone seems to be missing a vital point. Iran launched rockets with an attack on IRAQI soil. While we think first of American troops (as we should) don’t forget what that means. Iran has been growing in political influence in Iraq over the last decade.
That stops now.
Iraq would be in the right to respond militarily. It wouldn’t be the first Iran/Iraq war. But this time Iran is economically weakened by sanctions and Iraq is allied with the greatest power the world has ever seen.
Think.
Ret Col Douglas MacGreggor on tucker tonight tried making the case that ‘The deep states tricked Trump into taking out soleimani in order to start a war in the middle east, in an attempt to make Trump look like he doesn’t know what he is doing with foreign policy, and therefore shouldn’t be reelected because he’s inept’
Shcumer certainly seems to be getting that ball rolling by suggesting the Trump was ‘bumbling’, and i think you are gonna hear the msm saying crap like that for days on end- they probably already are- but after this col came out with that- you can bet they are gonna take and run with that-
IF This is the line the left go in, then all i can say is: Just when you think the left can’t go any lower-
Kills our Contractor
Tries to invade our embassy and perhaps kill people there
Sends ballistic missiles into our bases
Yeah, you can tell they really don’t want to escalate things. /s
We’re about to not seek devastating a number of targets within 24-48 hours too.
We’re all good folks, not trying to do things.
We’re a lot better at doing what we don’t want to though.
The only people they can fool with that is their own and even they will figure it out soon enough.
Obviously lying.
The afterwards iranian-led rocket attacks in iraq have zero to do with actually defending the country of iran.
So they show their people they did something, but miss on purpose and say they don’t want war - but will covertly plot with their proxies to cause damage - let their proxies do the dirty work (as is their usual practice).
Oh, BS.
That’s why you’ve been killing Americans for the last 40 years and just recently tried to attack the US embassy and take hostages, right?
And thank God that failed with what they did to Ambassador Stevens, otherwise those poor people would have met a really gruesome end by now.
They told Iraqis to get far from the bases. They know they cant hit shit.
Iran fired 19 cruise missiles at Saudi oil processing facilities in September and scored 17 direct hits.
They have a demonstrated capability to hit exactly what they want to hit.
Like the little kid who tells his friend, “I’m going to hit you, but don’t you hit me back.”
That kid usually goes home crying over a bloodied nose....
Well so far they’ve not hurt anything but when or if they do then .....
“and scored 17 direct hits”
17 of them hit something is not the same as 17 direct hits.
The facility covers several square miles.
I say, hit them, vigilance will not work, we can not accept their game and win, today declare they give up their nuclear weapons, or we hit the govt and military hard, leave the infrastructure
personally I don’t give a rats butt about their saving face, there is no saving face on a murderer, give them nothing..pop em..
The problem is, the way I see it, is Iran has so many sleeper cells world-wide that an attack on Iran will launch those cells and who knows what that would do.
better now than when their cells are stronger..if we stick our head in the sand we will have another caliphate gone wild..
If they won’t open their nuke sites nothing has changed, its time to change it, if it means back to the stone age for 200 years so be it..better than nukes all over the world
all disinformation, they will go forward with nukes, no more..tolah games..pop em..
