Heard about it...Now I count minutes before I hear USA has send some tomahawks towards some military installation in Iran.

That came a little bit unexpected, didn't it?

I speculate: somebody wants the US to sign the nuclear deal with Iran although the US drifts away from doing so due to sanctions against Russia. Somebody shows what w/could happen if he does not get what he wants. Russia demands to benefit economically from any such deal.

Ukraine and Russia.
Now Iran, Iraq and USA.
Next Taiwan and China?

^ We have an interesting time ahead of us.

Didn't Iran support Russia ?

Markus

More or less the other way around, but: yes.



However, the attack there could also be some internal Shia-Sunni feud. Or sdomethign between ethnic groupos. Or clashes for influence between the Mullahs in Iran and Iraqi clerics. As I said: I speculated in the post above.

Thank you.
So a military response from US will not happen as I predict.

Markus

Who knows?

It depends on the results of their investigation. If they think it was indeed an attack on the embassy, some places in Iran have a hard time ahead of them.

Would Biden see this as a chance to show he can act and responds taking out the base....nah..

Ice Cream equipped Cruise Missiles probably.

Can I have one of those please? :yep:

According to the news here and there- these ballistic missile was against the American consulate.

There has been no confirmation of the launch from Iran, but Iranian state media cited sources as saying that "secret Israeli bases" were targeted.

The attack came six days after two senior officers in Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps were killed in a suspected Israeli air strike near the Syrian capital Damascus. The IRGC had vowed to make Israel "pay for this crime".

Trying to deflect attention from the civil unrest they are currently experiencing.

That's Saudi Arabia's problem. Since Iran has buddied up with Russia, Let Arabia run to Russia for help. Leave us ( the U.S ) out of it.
