“... as Biden weighs how to react to a base attack in Jordan..”

Should have all been gamed out long ago. Whatever he decides..if he does anything at all...he will give them plenty if advance warning.

No worries for Iran. Under Biden, we’re like the dweeb in jr. high with a sign on his back that reads, “Kick Me.”

I think the Israeli movement of troops to battle Hezbollah is related to the attacks by Iranian proxies at places like Tower 22. Tower 22 and the nearby US bases are ideally located to interdict logistics moving from Iran to supply Hezbollah. Iran would obviously want to disrupt those efforts at interdiction, with Hezbollah ramping up to attack Israel. Israel would be well aware of all this and trying to get a leg up.

I think it was ABC this morning that reported some pretty explicit information on US plans to respond to the attack on Tower 22. We’ll hit the proxies again, harder than before, but not hit Iranian assets. The ABC analyst (and former State Dept. guy) didn’t seem too enthused this would deter Iran. I agree.

Even so, unless the leak is disinformation and we plan something else, I recommend finding the leaker, and a firing squad.

Actually, we could wipe out Iran in one strike by dropping Chris Christie on them. It’d be the war crime of the millennium.

I really don’t want to do that to the Iranian people, though.

UK Stormshadow missiles are responsible for the Black Sea Russian ship losses.

(as well, as Russia believes, crewed by UK personnel)

The announcement by Iran yesterday that they now had their own hypersonic missiles (I doubt it, more likely Russian supplied) means that it could be any day now.

My guess it will be UK ships targeted, but who knows.

Too much truth there for Cold War nostalgists.

i suspect Iran may put on a missile show that that would Stormin’ Normans “shock and awe” to shame, if Biden attacks Iran directly. They have no proof it was Iran that attacked, and if Iran is innocent and Biden attacks What do you suppose the response would be? Keep in mind that Iran may very well have nukes and a delivery system.
