To paraphrase Squadron Leader Bartlett from The Great Escape:

“Look, sir, you talk about the Iranian mullahs and Al Qaeda, and then you talk about Hezbollah and Isis. To me, they’re the same! We’re fighting the bloody lot! There’s only one way to put it, sir: they are the common enemies of everyone who believes in freedom.”

We should start by taking out all their air defense site, leaving them blind and toothless.

Let them sit and wonder for a few days when the B-1Bs will arrive.

They opt for terror, we should give them terror.

Then send a nuke bunker buster into some remote, buried command post or nuke facility.

Then sit and wait some more.

Statement says civilian operated aircraft.

I have no idea what kind of aircraft were damaged.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!

The representative of al-Shabaab from Minnesomolia will be ululating over this.

The ISSiC, Islamic Squat Squad in Congress is really ticked off again!

No this was done by one of the many terrorist groups we are fighting around the world. In fact this group is an enemy of Iran as it is a radical Sunni Muslim group. Shows you what the USA is dealing with.

In 2018 we imported $365 million dollars in goods from Kenya. Wonder what happens if we open up trade with other countries to make hole in that?

And so begins the game of whack-a-terrorist. Please pop your head up in some half-arse way to get revenge so we know who to eliminate next.

Trump, of course, remembers the hard hats’ sign about the hostages - written on a sheet - that hung from a construction sight during the crisis on the east side of NYC.

Nope. In fact they put out a message that said this was NOT in response to the Iranians.

How messed up is that?
