If there are sleeper cells in the US (which the FBI says there are) and they go all crazy shooting up places, remember from history what Yamamoto said.

If Iran was a dog, it would be rolled over on its back exposing its belly.

My first thought, as well!

Not that I believe him. Iran may not make an institutional response, but they have plenty of free-lancers answering their burner phones.

Democrats ...would like nothing better than a full scale all out bloody war with US casualties, so that they can blame President Trump.

And invest heavily in defense stocks before declaring it.

DIA Report on Iran’s military power, published September 2019: https://www.dia.mil/Portals/27/Documents/News/Military%20Power%20Publications/Iran_Military_Power_LR.pdf

Page 30: “The use of improved guidance technology and maneuverability during the terminal phase of flight
enables these missiles to be used more effectively against smaller targets, including specific military facilities and ships at sea. These enhancements could reduce the miss-distance of some Iranian missiles to as little as tens of meters.”

Page 45: “Iran publicized the first launch of a Shahab 3 variant—called the Emad-1—equipped with a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MARV), which could allow the system to strike targets up to potentially 2,000 kilometers away with near-precision accuracy.”
