    Missile was not fired from Iran .. but would have been a big deal if true .. They call them Iranian backed militia in the article but .. this is Iraq we are talking .. all kinds of groups with rockets .. apparently 12 fired ... . https://www.thenationalnews.com/mena/2022/03/12/rocket-attack-confirmed-in-erbil/

    "newsflash" Iran is nowhere near the largest state sponsor of Terror .. lucky to make the top 3 .. get serious ... Obama was a way bigger sponsor of Terror . and terrorist groups .. than Iran .. still not the Top though .. albeit Number 2 .. and debatable whether we can distinguish between 1 and 2 anyway.

    Iran been the one fighitng terrorists .. ones armed - supported - and supplied by 1 and 2 .. gotta stop drinking that Blue Koolaid ... lips turning purple.

    I see nothing that says the missiles were fired in Iraq. I can see Iranian militias in Iran launching them.

    Iran saying its intended target was Israel.

    These Iranian Militias .. are located in Iraq - and we have no idea if it was "Iranian Militia" Could have been Al Qaeda backed Militias - ISIS backed Militias .. The Media Clowns are going to call it "Iranian Militia" regardless of who it is..

    Further .. an Iranian backed Militia .. is not Iran .. just like the Ukrainian backed Militia .. is not USA .. What these folks do is not under the direct control of Iran .. or USA ..

    Either way .. Someone is making a statement .. want to see if any taken responsibility ..

    "Minor little detail" is pure propaganda .. Iran nowhere near the top of the terrorist /sponsor food chain.

    but --- there is a minor little detail left out .. That Obama/Biden were far bigger sponsors of terror than Iran during the last decade ..

    Well if you line up the supposed launch city in Iran, a line extends through erbil and continues to Israel.

    I don't buy that due to the supposed accuracy of the weapon platform.

    Apparently Israel killed several top Iranian guys in Syria this past week.

    This may have been retaliation.

    Also, we might learn (in months) that Iran's F35s are getting some action right now.

    If you feel angry about this missile attack from Iran on our diplomatic compound -- which you should -- then now you know how Israel feels when they are attacked with missiles and are told to ignore it in the name of peace.

    NewsMax was quoting AP. They did say that the missiles originated from Iranian territory

    Iran having f35s is news to me. I looked it up but aside of a bunch of mentions of an Israeli f35 shooting down an Iranian drone, and some articles about Biden haulting f35 sales to the UAE I find no mention of it. Where did you here that? I'd be interested to read it.

    It was a typo Israel has the F35.

    Last time they flew over Tehran, Israel posted the photo online and eventually the defense minister figured it out and the mullahs fired him lol.

    I guess it's too early to be certain, but it sure looks like the Biden critics smell the blood in the water that sends them into a speculation frenzy, full of assumption, before having the facts.

    Yup-- that's what's happening with this one "white" shark.


    And there's our first distortion of the news. The actual title, of your linked article, is:

    Missiles strike near US consulate in north Iraq; no injuries--

    a very different thing, than "target(ing)" our consulate. The Snip, below, shows an even greater disparity between what your post says, and the truth. I wonder why I'm not that surprised.

    [snip]

    BAGHDAD -- As many as 12 missiles struck Iraq’s northern city of Irbil on Sunday near the U.S. consulate, Iraqi security officials said. A U.S. defense official said missiles had been launched at the city from neighboring Iran.

    No injuries were reported. Officials in Iraq and the U.S. gave different accounts of the strike and the damage it caused. A second U.S. official said there was no damage at any U.S. government facility and that there was no indication the target was the consulate building, which is new and currently unoccupied.

    [end snip]

    But how could
    U.S.Conservative get such a falsely skewed idea? The following quote from his article, tells anyone all they need to know, about any claims, that poster makes:

    [Snip]

    An Iraqi official in Baghdad
    at first said several missiles had hit the U.S. consulate and that it was the target of the attack. Later, Lawk Ghafari, the head of Kurdistan’s foreign media office, said NONE OF THE MISSILES HIT THE U.S. FACILITY but that areas around the compound had been hit by the missiles.

    [end snip]

    So he would prefer not to update false information, if the accurate information is not as bad for Biden.
    I hope, U.S. Conservative, you don't find my correction of your mistruths, too "painful" for you to read.

    why would us bombers be headed to the target? shouldn't they be vectoring on the shooters?

    also. erbil is not a small city. how do you know they are shooting at the consulate? are these faith rockets that accurate?

    Reportedly a 3 meter circular area probable. That's more than we've seen from Iran in the past.

    Essentially a bolt on guidance system to guide existing ballistic missiles.

    I don't think we'd send bombers as Iran is contested airspace with long range Sam's.

    But we'd send in glide bombs from well within Iraqi airspace, or use attack aircraft to do the same.

    The last time we spoke you told me not to respond to your post so I'm having trouble understanding why you would feel the need to respond to me?
