Tell them that gives us the right to take out 80 targets in Iran, then see if they retract their lies.
They have a history of spewing lies and propaganda, like this infamous picture of an Iranian missile test launch:
That would be a mistake - escalating it when the regime in Iran is crumbling.
Let them get their hollow “win” - and the people will soon realize that it was hollow and that the Emperor has no clothes. Then starts the movement to throw out the clerics.
This may very well turn out to be a Ceaucescu moment
“Well, if they say they killed 80 Americans, then we should take them at their word.”
I postulate that any time a casualty number ends in ‘0’ the person reporting that figure is probably talking out of his/her @ss.
This is the mullah version of “the Vietnam Body-Count”.
