Not to mention, I have not forgotten this

Well he just offed an Iranian general and barely missed getting another one. That's not good enough? Personally i've favored turning Iran into a glass floored self lighting parking lot ever since '79 so if you think we ought to light them up some more i'm down with it.

Makes sense

Lol, 10-4 I favor pinpont strikes on key infrastructure, like they did to the Saudis a while back, but ongoing until they cannot take it. As few civilian casualties as possible, lots of powerplants, mullahs, and oil sites.

That's probably the smart reason not to hit back.

Democratic congressional leaders and presidential candidates who were unsparing in their criticism of President Trump for the escalation with Iran over the past two weeks largely have gone silent now that the protests on the streets of Tehran and beyond have turned their rage toward the regime — and not the Trump White House.

Even as videos emerged online Monday that purportedly show Iranian police and security forces firing live ammunition to disperse protesters, so far among the 2020 Democratic candidates only former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., have spoken out in support of the people.


The protesters have railed against the government following the shoot-down of a passenger plane that the Iranian government initially denied involvement in — Tehran later admitted they downed the jet in a misfire during attacks against U.S. bases in Iraq, following Trump's takedown of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

Cross your fingers, we could see the overthrow of the regime.

Ahh the good old talk about regime change and wars of agression.

Then maybe sit this one out if you're in favour of nuclear murder.

Like, stop it.

Why? Why stop it? When Iran wants to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth ... Iran will never give up their desire to have a nuclear weapon.

They already have a delivery system in place

Sooner or later they will have to be taken out hopefully by bunker busting bombs and swarms of drones followed by F-35's instead of nuclear fall out that would hurt the population.

Wait a minute I haven't had my coffee yet ...

Alright if done by the own population.. just a hint:
The second the Donald publicy criticizes Iran or its government the overthrow will be over. Do. Not. Interfere.
The iranian people once did it with the Shah, they can do it again.

Wow, a couple of hundred demonstrators is going to cause a regime change?, not a snowball in hells chance, you'd need millions of demonstrators and, even then my money would be on the rulers of Iran.

On lesser note, America threatens to cut off Iraq's access to its Federal Reserve deposits if its demand our troops leave is enforced... "money is the sinews of war" meets "that. 'quid' ain't pro quo"? The prospect of sanctions is still fresh from the UN embargo of the 1990's; and access was suspended in 2015 when cash was flowing to ISIS thru Iraq's loosly regulated banks, so the threat is real to Iraqui finance ministers.

Spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili said investigations into the incident were continuing, but provided no details.

President Hassan Rouhani said the probe would be overseen by a "special court".

A token gesture or a real attempt at appeasement?

In a televised speech, President Rouhani said the judiciary would assemble a special court with a high-ranking judge and tens of experts to oversee the probe.
"This will not be a regular and usual case. The whole world will be watching this court," he added.
Mr Rouhani also stressed that Wednesday's "tragic event" should not be blamed on one individual.
"It's not only the person who pulled the trigger, but also others who are responsible," he said.

I BELIEVE IT'S LEGIT AND WILL PROBABLY GO LIKE THE SAUDI TRIAL FOR THE KOSHAGGI MURDER...LONG, DRAGGED OUT, POLITICAL, AND THERE WILL BE EXPENDIBLE SCAPEGOATS.
