Iran: State TV shows preparation of missiles ahead of strike on US Iraq base
Iranian state TV has released footage purportedly showing preparations ahead of Tehran’s missile attack on al-Asad Airbase housing US forces in Iraq on Wednesday. Footage shows warehouses housing the missiles in an undisclosed location as well as launch preparations by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officers.
If you really have the strength you won't show off with these basic missiles being loaded into silos Iran likes propaganda too much, farce
mu2sa2: People forget that most Iranians are Shiites. Shiites have this persecution complex and regard American action as a continuation of the centuries of injustice against the shiites. To them, any attack on Iran is attack on Shiism and their response is to resolve to die if need be to defend their faith. That's why when Trump was issuing threats to scare them, they never cared a hoot and went ahead to strike back. Iranians have been building up their defence capabilities for decades that today they can't be toyed with. They vowed to swiftly retaliate against US and they did. Trump's threats turned out to be empty. Those shiites, very strongheaded!
US works tactically, that man was a threat to them, he had a cult like following, hence taking him out is not good for Iran's international security operations, he was not preparing for his death, hence he has not passed on or instructed his successor on important secrets...the US understand that in such regions they build strong men, rather than strong institutions, hence taking out a strong man can really deal a blow to the nation, and set them back strategically, in terms of influence and control of the region. There is no point to escalate it further at this point. Wars are fought for reasons and out of necessity, human resources and money are lost in warfare.
Blindersoff: Well it looks like Trump was all noise and no action afterall
Now he wants to negotiate peace
I think Trump achieved his aims, US only suffered minimal damages to bases, but they took out a strategic foe...this does not stop US from targeting more Iranian officials and proxies, I think it makes sense to talk, since escalation will destroy Iraq that America has been trying to guard from terrorists.
War is expensive and hard to stop, it's madness to engage in war for fun or just for ego, most wars are fought out of necessity. Millions will die and lots of resources will be lost. Think.
16yearsold: Why do you guys underage Iran. This is a war and it will affect both sides, America might be dangerous but trump is making a foolish choice
Trump is doing what he thinks has to be done, albeit dangerous.
Mac2016: Don't just be too sure.. Very soon they will draw empathy or wipe it up from powerful anti-US nations then you know what that means. Leaders are meant to act more responsibly... World needs peace not wars
CorperKola: Have you heard this quote; if you want peace, prepare for war Let that sink in
It doesn't apply here, thanks...we are looking for ways to avert destructive wars, like world wars, of course there will always be conflicts, but large scale conflicts and world wars can be averted.
Most times people get what they wish for...I think the best way of averting world war 3, is stopping the creation of warfare weaponry, when nations have these weapons, they will want to use it, this causes escalation, and rapid destruction. There should be a ban on heavy weapons production, this is the sure way.
Our government should monitor happenings in the global scene carefully, nations are fighting proxy wars all over, all for religious and political agenda. The recent happenings between America and Iran will have global effects, we should step up our security in the light of this.
