    The Ukrainian crisis may lose relevance.
    US Air Force planes are lifted into the air. Perhaps there will be missile attacks on Tehran. In the near future, Joe Biden is expected to address the Americans. There is a possibility that war will be declared.
    Recall that Iran may have nuclear weapons...

    By the way, now all militant citizens who yelled about "defending Ukraine" can volunteer to go to war with Iran. Unless, of course, they are real wars, but not talkers.
    By the way, those who do not want to fight "for freedom and democracy" can imagine what the price of gasoline in the United States will be in this case. It should be noted that Iran is a major oil seller. And if a real war starts, then there is a high probability that this war will spread to the entire Middle East and, of course, the closing of the Suet Canal and, accordingly, the transportation of oil.
    Do you remember how a ship ran aground in this strait in the past? And remember how the price tags for everything soared. Do you remember?
    Now think about what will happen to prices in the event of a real war.
    I won't even talk about Europeans. The only way for them to survive is to crawl on their knees to Putin, kiss his feet and beg to start the gas and oil pipelines.
    Otherwise, Europeans will find themselves in the wild Middle Ages.
    And of course you understand that the EU will end its existence, and Europe will plunge into a pan-European war among themselves. As it happened many times in the history of Europe.

    And further. Ask yourself why now? And why is Iran not afraid of the US response?
    By the way, don't forget China's intention to reclaim Taiwan. And also, don't forget North and South Korea. And their contradictions.
    In general, we are waiting for fun times.
    And all because the arrogance of the West corroded the brains of Western politicians.

    It seems far from confirmed that a US Army base was hit.

    The real target was an Israeli/Mossad operations base.

    Covert Drone War Between Israel and Iran Goes Public With Missile Launch on Iraq
    Tehran has adopted a policy of responding to any attack against it attributed to Israel, such as the one last week in Syria. Meanwhile, Israel fears new demands would see Iran getting more out of Vienna nuclear talks

    There are videos and photos. But does it matter? Quite recently, it was a good enough reason for the US to bomb the country only based on a test tube of white powder, but today ballistic missiles are flying towards US military bases and US offices and ... "The US is looking for sufficient evidence."
    What does it say?

    LOL-- This has already been debunked! See below:


    Now @Iranian Monitor 's post, just above mine, links to an interesting story:

    [Snip]

    This isn’t the first time the Iranians have claimed there is a
    secret Israeli base in Irbil. In April 2021, the Iranian media reported that Iran had launched drones and missiles at that same location, near the Irbil airport, and that the attack had wounded Mossad agents.

    Foreign media outlets have for years reported that secret Israeli activity was taking place in both Kurdistan and Azerbaijan, both of which border Iran. In principle, this sounds reasonable, since an Israeli presence in those places would greatly reduce the range for Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.

    In this regard, the American disclaimer was interesting. In response to the initial reports Sunday morning, which mentioned the United States as a possible target, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman quickly announced that the administration didn’t believe the American consulate in Irbil had been the target. Washington did something similar in the past, when it leaked that attacks by pro-Iranian Shi’ite militias in Syria on the American base in Al-Tanf were retaliation for Israeli attacks.

    Ahahaha... The usual dull excuse. It's like a cowardly schoolboy pretending that he is not the object of ridicule and it looks both pathetic and funny.

    Iran has launched attacks against US bases before, most notably the Al Assad air base which had participated in the cowardly assassination of General Soleimani. Your comments about America's reaction land a greater punch when focused on how Trump ultimately had to eat his words and blink in a press conference where, with his Generals standing behind him, he looked drugged and dazed.

    But this time, what Iran was targeting and which it hit (the building in smoldering fire) was an Israeli intelligence operations center. It may have camouflaged itself as an American-Kurdish "counter-terrorism" base, but inside the facility were Israeli Mossad agents and their collaborators. Most probably got out in time, with some advance warning by the Americans of incoming missiles, but I'm confident a few of them are no longer with us.

    There was an Israeli attack in Syria that left 2 IRGC officers dead. Iran said it would retaliate, even informed the UN of it. I started a thread on the issue in this forum last week:

    Why wouldn't Iran try us now? With a weak diaper wearing president and a complete fool as VP.

    He's a tough guy when talking to a retired farmer in Iowa. Whatever Iran does he will just blame Trump and give them what they want.

    They didn’t hit our base if I remember right from an article yesterday and no soldiers were hurt. But it doesn’t matter, we will not go to war with iran even if they had and to tell you the truth it may not happen right now anyway. China and Russia are making moves that deserve our attention. Iran would just be a quick carpet bombing escapade

    The missiles did not hit US bases, but the same city, - Erbil, which is a city of 1.5 million.

    We will see. Iran's last administration had a lot of suspicious figures in key posts. One of the most popular television series in Iran portrayed them mostly as spies and others among them as useful idiots. The series was produced by a company with close ties and funding by IRGC. Iran has a new administration. I don't think the new administration will be either as tolerant of the things Israel used to pull or nearly as compromised. In fact, on this subject, just this hour there was this report:
    https://www.reuters.com/world/middl...lanned-sabotage-nuclear-site-made-2022-03-14/
    Iran says it thwarted nuclear site sabotage it ascribes to Israel

    As usual Iranians are not able to aim properly when they use their missiles.
    This is why when, years ago, they were thinking to missiles with nuclear warheads ... I commented that it was enough to wait for their first test ... the nuke was probably going to fall on Tehran because of a problem in the sighting system! And Good Bye to the Ayatollahs ...

    Will we see the rallying of the world community against Israel? Sanctions and embargoes? Will McDonald's and Cola leave Israel?
