How is Iraq US mainland?
By the time US responds, you'll see Iranians on PressTV and Aljazeera crying and shouting human rights.

Iran said Trump didn't have congressional approval before killing their man. I really hope Iran had congressional approval before attacking a US facility with rockets.

Trump would deal with whoever gave them approval and the surviving Iranians would get the memo.
Trump started a war unprovoked. They have responded. Trump has been biting and getting away with it. He has bitten more than he can chew. How their internal decision works is no business of ours. Whether they needed approval or not, a retaliation was expected. He has been slapping Iran unprovoked. Cancelled the nuclear deal. Dem no talk. He made various trade sanctions. Dem no talk. It's like he has been pushing their button and was getting pissed they were ignoring him. Now, they have his attention.

There is a reason why diplomacy exists. War is a lose lose situation. Not just for the countries. Even the world. Iran knew the implication but since Trump wants to form commander in chief, let's do this.

It is alleged that 3 bases has been hit. IF any US soldier is killed in these attacks, I strongly fear the next action Trump might take.

Just imagine taking out a fully fledged legitimate army general of a sovereign country because of alleged killing of a US contractor.

Stay glued to Twitter.

Trump will say what next soon. Certain he will tweet anytime from now.

He will have no choice than to finish what he started. Am certain he will strike.

How will he explain the justification for already dead soldiers knowing Democrats will capitalize on it. It's election time! It's either you score or you flames

This is not one fight the Iranians will let go. They will fight to last man standing. I am just surprised America with all her perceived might couldnt intercept missiles at its millitary base. What happens to Embassies etc.

That's the beauty of warfare. Making strategic moves in the midst of defences.

But certain Iran is in for a big thing. Trump might turn Tehran to dust. Just waiting for his tweet. Not sleeping till I see his tweet.

US will pay dearly for this folly. Killing a government official OPENLY (Not in a war theatre) and admitting to it is the most foolish thing that has been done since world warII.

What Trump had effectively done by Killing Soleimani is that he has established that in this war of attrition between nations killing foreign diplomats is a fair game.

I repeat US will regret this action, and this may hurt trumps chance of reelection. Iran is no pushover!!

Your clearly don't understand foreign policy. Go look at that map. Iran doesn't exist in isolation. Saudi Arabi ran to Washington immediately to try and calm the situation but the harm had been done and Iran was gonna respond. If e know affect Saudi, dem for stay their country. The attack was unprovoked. The foreign minister was denied visa for a UN meeting in the US. I don't see how America can win this. Now, there is pressure from many middle east countries to send US home so they are not vulnerable. This is messy. Trump in his wildest dream didn't know what he was doing and didn't expect a retaliation of this scale. He is like a spoilt kid who thinks he can do anything and get away with it. They actually painted this scenario in the event he made the assassination move and he still did. Diplomacy first. Sadly, this was even unprovoked. A push too far indeed.

These missiles were simply fired for Iranian public consumption. A sort of face saving act towards the Iranians.

If there are American fatalities, then the Iranians should expect the wrath of Trumps. If there are no U S casualties, then the we all should breath a collective sigh of relief.

In the meantime let's use the impending windfall from oil proceeds wisely.
Yeah, I think this is exactly it. Iran didn''t want to look weak so it just fired some rockets to send a message.
Not hearing anything about any casualty. if it stays that way then we can close this chapter.

I agree with you, he is an egoist who thinks more about his "ego" than what is good for the country.
He will be so "Orange" right now, he could pose for a Get-Ready-To-Stop Traffic Light. grin grin

Yes, he will Tweet the most angry words we have ever read, very soon.
He will order attacks on Iran but it will only go downhill for him, from there.

America will and can finnish Iran but it will be at an UNACCEPTABLE COST to American lives, that is what will make him lose the election.
We should also not forget that Iran has just too many Islamic Sympathisers all over the world and these smal-small groups will continually hit Americans and their interest, all over the world. One just happened in Kenya today, American soldiers and Equipment demolished.

You woudl expect that Iraq will support US in this fight but the last straw for them was when [b]Trump said he will destroy Iraq with Sanctions, just because they said they ALL foreign forces, including the Americans and Iranians, should leave Iraq as they dont want them to turn their country into a battle field for proxy wars. Even the Nato allies were horrified to hear that!
Trump just showed in HOW MUCH CONTEMPT he holds the Iraqi people and government.

#Breaking: Pentagon meeting finished, President refused to issue any Comment, all officials have left!
Seems Trump is getting sober and facing reality?

It is always very dangerous to fight someone who has nothing to lose, someone like Iran.[/b]

You must have a problem with comprehension. How can I say Iran will defeat the US. My statements are not biased, it's just outrightly what's playing. This is warfare, every action has a reaction and nobody wins a war without massive casualties.

The reaction across the Middle East I was saying. Never said for once Iran has chances of defeating the US

Please lets all pray for our nation. Our president, media aide, minister of information and military personnel. God will give them the wisdom on how to handle the prevailing situation. Let them be quiet and talk only when necessary and with so much tact and wisdom. Let God not allow us get involved with a war that doesnt concern us. Amen.

They are not Rockets!
American generals confirmed on CNN, that they were guided Missiles!
Rockets dont travel from Iran to Iraq and not miss their target because they are NOT GUIDED.
These are guided Missles and the intention was to let the Americans and their local supporters in the region, know that they will be hit, if they enable the American onslaught on Iran.
