One of my sources connected to the military says 30+ dead.

I think it is too early for such a detailed casualty report

FYI - Multiple missiles, multiple bases. Sources linked earlier in this thread: Jennifer Griffin (Fox News, via Twitter), CBS News, LA Times

Of course, there are far many more sources now.

They can kiss their oil refineries goodbye. Probably their naval bases as well.

Pfft.

The left will be squealing non stop that we “got what we deserved thanks to Trump” and “Attacking Iran will be against International Law”, etc.

Only around half of this country will want to strike Iran. The left has deballed an enormous amount of American men.

Although I'm generally against “nation building” and “regime change”, I can easily see the need in this situation for this target. Iran has been the source of the bulk of “unrest” in the Middle East and needs to be taken care of, one way or another.

Will we have the backbone to actually take out the leadership of Iran?

Most dead would mostly be under ruble at this point I would think.

Iranian elites are as insane as our Leftists.
They don’t think things through.

Agree. I think the Iranian Navy is the first target.

They attacked our bases there. They want to keep the theater limited which may be why they haven’t attacked our assets in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and at sea.

Yup, not yet. Let’s pray there were no casualties and minimal to no damage.

My guess is that Trump knew if he casually (like he always does) mentioned that we had missiles aimed at their “52 cultural sites”, the Iranians would spend much effort trying to shore them up and take their MFin’ eye off the real targets...

A great misdirection fake when Trump knocks the ever-loving shit of every military target in Iran instead—or better yet, “IN ADDITION” to the cultural sites for that matter.
