Jennifer Griffin just reported the same on FNC less than five minutes ago. All over Iraq. “Senior US military official” provided the info to FNC.

Wasn’t it an official act of war when they attacked our Embassy?

Yup. Lots of testosterone here attempting to sensationalize this with talk of WWIII, bombing them back to the Stone Age, glass parking lots, etc.... juvenile.

Initial report: Mass casualties among US occupation forces.

Attack still ongoing.

Its from that “Imam of peace” guy on twitter who has been posting pics of OLD attack sites(Gaza, etc) and showing them as new

He's now reporting them as old/fake.

Oh, get real....

That was an old timeworn statement...

Why would you even ask a question such as you did???

“...What’s our strategy to end the war begun in 1979?...”

Even if anyone here in FR really knew the strategy, do you really think they would blurt it out to you???ROFLMAO...

For those on Twitter, #imamofpeace (Imam of Peace / Pray for Peace) typically has very good info on Iraq/Iran events. Apparently online Iranian sites are recycling missile launch photos from 2017 and claiming it’s from tonight. The attack is very real, but they are already starting with the propaganda.

I doubt B-52s will be used.

We will use cruise missiles and drones.

No need to endanger live troops.

Agenda Free TV:

2nd round of missile/rocket attacks reported, but no confirmation.

#1 - Next to ZERO likelihood any have been fired FROM Iran. (Regime is NOT suicidal).

#2 - Probably proxy - directed, and (see #3)

#3 - Probably very ineffective (barring a lucky strike) and

#4 - Possibly being played up on Iran TV so they can SAVE FACE for not effectively doing anything in response.

Time will tell. But those were my initial thoughts. However, at this stage, all reports on what is going on should be taken with a LARGE grain of salt.
