IRGC Statement
Operation name: Martyr Solleimani
1/ we warn US for further moves, we'll go for more painful responses.
2/ We warn the governments who gave space and bases to US, wherever we get attacked from, we'll attack there!
2/2
3/ We recognize Israel as an accomplice in the crime [Solleimani's death].
4/ We suggest the American people to call their soldiers back from the region to prevent putting their lives at risk
I like to hear about one time in history, when someone being prosecuted, used the word "witch hunt", then turned out to be innocent.
Different version then Tines
IRGC's official statement: We recommend to the people of America, in order to prevent more damages, call the American troops to go back home. Do not let them to endanger the American troops' lives by participating in warmongering policies of the inhumane regime of America.
heres an interesting tidbit:
by fault or design?Quote:
Some Iranian missiles launched to target American forces in Iraq have landed inside Iranian territory.

google "flight 290 iran" for a rebuttal.
This is the moment that Israel, Saudi Arabia, and multiple factions of US industry and the neoconservatives they back have been pushing for, for over decade. Let's see if this is the excuse needed. Honestly, the response from Iran is so reckless that it almost has to be done now. I don't see how the Persian government could think this was a good idea in the sense of self preservation.
US casualties reported.
edit: fake news.
our response time is fucked because a bunch of pentagon officials were sent home due to a snowstorm.
this is not an onion article.

i actually just double checked and they rolled back the article saying its developing/uncomfirmed.
but a 2nd wave of missiles were launched and it would frankly be a miracle if no americans were dead at this point.

I respect the post anyway. Everything I’m reading says “unconfirmed” so I figured I’d ask.
Your post on the defective missles seems to be true btw, and it’s more than a few.
Oh shit
URGENT BREAKING: Iran state affiliated media channel Tasnim news reports officials saying that if US retaliates to tonights Iran strikes on US bases, Hezbollah will target Israel by its missiles.
Early return is no US casualties at one particualr base that was hit.

point being this is not anything even fucking close to what iran has in mind for payback. iran goes for soft targets at the time and place of its choosing.
this shit tonight, its fireworks, basically.
CNN confirmed - no us casualties
God willing this could be a massive save face excercise.
If you have a half tank or less you might want to go fill up.
I don’t know if Trump did the right thing, because I’m not an expert on geopolitics, but I do know this: Every, and I mean every, time any president takes military action he gets a bump in the polls. It’s a new year and impeachment ain’t the lead on CNN tonight. Y’all need to watch the movie “Wag the Dog.”

They are openly discussing the possibility on CNN that a few of us were kicking around a few days ago. This was a planned, Iran damn near told us, save face attack so they could hold heads high back home and give 45 enough wiggle room to stand down.
Apparently a closer base was totally ignored in the attack that had a lot more personnel in it.

Yup. I see a prepared speech in the morning where he came “this close” to hitting back.....
What are the odds after all the heavy hitters left the White House a few minutes ago someone took trumps phone and deleted Twitter
-300?
Iran sent a letter to the UN saying they have completed their revenge phase for the general's death.
-650 it was all a face saving gesture and trump is going to go batshit after agreeing to it and launch a massive counter attack because sean hannity is going to say he looks week if he doesnt.
If this is the end it’s a huge win for Trump. Big if obviously. Dems would be super pissed.
PUSH THE BUTTON!!!
