September 2018: Iranian ballistic missile struck KDP-I bases in KRG as a demonstration. 5 missiles yesterday were a warning to KRG to cool its relationship with Washington https://t.co/PEhFNVaybZ

This likely means no direct action against Iran itself

[Zambeezi]

my thoughts at this point...
the 'state' response w/ zero casualties (or small) was obviously deliberate.
a great opening chess move.
It avoids giving EZ pretext to warpigs allowing/justifying a 'carpet bomb' response.
now the 'deaths' will come as we move forward.
guerilla and sniping attacks region-wide night after night, day after day by battle hardened/angry warriors.
constant political and military pressure to leave.

EXCELLENT PLAN.

Iran will not give black box from crashed Ukrainian airliner to Boeing https://t.co/RdX0YjX0YI

Maybe they did shoot it down after all.

Or maybe if they give it away Boeing will "find out" that Iran shot it down. I'd rather send it to Russia or China to check it.

[Zambeezi]

a booster (not a 'failed' rocket)

Apparently, I have to repeat these facts again: These are 1st stages (a.k.a. booster) of liquid-fuel missiles - not a warhead. Modern ballistic missiles always separate warheads from missile stage(s) after their rocket engine runs out of fuel in order to improve missiles range. https://t.co/tRvfWAbMOX

Didn't they say troops survived bcs of propper evacuation and cover? They're bullshittin' imo

U.S. military did not attempt to shoot down Iran's ballistic missiles because there were no American military assets in place to intercept them, officials say.

hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets on the ground. no protection. wtf.

“For the past few years, our focus was defeating ISIS and keeping a light footprint in Iraq. We did not need air defense systems against ISIS,” as one official explained.

Well that's interesting because they are saying the intent was to miss but Iran is saying they killed some people.

Both sides are trying to de-escalate it hinges on the Proxies now

uh-huh... now it's completely clear to me

The US defence contractor whose death set off a spiralling confrontation between Washington and Tehran has been named as 33-year old Nawres Hamid. He was born in Iraq and worked as a translator with US forces. His sons are 2 and 8. https://t.co/h04GeCDtuM

— Louisa Loveluck (@leloveluck) January 8, 2020

Q: so WHY did it take so LONG to bring this critical piece forward?
A: he's Iraqi/brown not USA/applepie/white

yeah. when you refer to the entire assassination 'trigger' as simply a 'USA Defense Contractor'....
what comes to mind? what do you imagine?
It served their NARRATIVE to hide/obscure that he was an Iraqi.
they GRUDGINGLY came FORWARD (finally) cuz it was a glaring 'missing piece' and the peasants kept wanting to KNOW.
eeyup.

If there will be a exchange of nuclear weapon launches tonight and a armageddon you all are very welcome to my modest cottage in Finnish Lapland. We'll eat reindeer and salmon and get some vodka from the Russian side of the border.

[KneelB4Zod!]

Still no videos or photos of totally untouched al-Assad military base. Me thinks engineers are in hurry since last night...

According to reports received by Haaretz, a US aircraft carrying American soldiers wounded by Iran’s missile strike on Ain Assad Air Base, landed in Tel Aviv hours ago. Based on informed sources, 224 injured soldiers were taken to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center Hospital.

Interestingly his account was just suspended by Twitter...

[Zambeezi]

and there u have it.

Our objectives:

Iran must stop being the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

Stop ballistic missile buildup which jeopardizes regional stability.

Negotiate a nuclear deal which provides nuclear power to Iran while dismantling a pathway to a bomb.

no response attack. nope.

NEW — Erdogan, Putin say in a joint statement that US attack to kill #Soleimani undermined the stability and security in the region.

Two leaders also criticise Iran for retailiating against the attack by ballistic missiles yesterday.

Warning for “a new cycle of instability”

Allegedly another hack...:

Someone appears to be mounting a hacking campaign to exaggerate the impact of the Iran strikes.

Kuwaiti newswire was hacked earlier to say US was pulling out and now a prominent Israeli journalist was hacked to say wounded US troops are being flown to Israel from Iraq. pic.twitter.com/IutKUz29iX
