If there’s a war going on, you’d think someone would have cleared the airspace.
“U.S. F-22s will eat them alive. :
And F-15Cs and F-35s and F-16s.
Those old Tomkats have no modern weapons.
Fog of war right now...
Source please.
Thanks, BTW! :-)
Surprised that they are calling them ballistic missiles. I expected rockets. That’s stronger stuff.
It’s all about whether there are casualties.
Where’s the popcorn?
BREAKING: Iranian media is now reporting #Iran has fired a second wave of missiles on US military bases in #Iraq.— Sarah Abdallah (@sahouraxo) January 8, 2020
Not yet that I’ve seen.
“Some media is calling them missiles and others are saying rockets.”
That’s funny in that they call all guns “assault rifles”.

Posted three hours ago. I have no way to how accurate this.
It appears that Iran has chosen Death.
I’ve been waiting on this since 1979!!
Kill Em All!
Blow up Iran’s ability to wage war, send them back to the stone age. Destroy every port and airport.
It’s a cool website. Check it out.

Wonder if Iran used Obama $$$ to buy weapons/aircraft from China/Russia...
Knock it off with the "Russian collusion" already...! 😀
This has been 40 yrs in the making..Iran was a lost cause a long time ago..when the Shah was kicked out, that was it, there was NO going back, so time to take out Iran now
I wouldn’t put it past the Mullahs to load a passenger jet with pilgrims for Mecca and fly it off course so it gets shot down by American forces.
“Time for an independent Kurdistan?”
IMO it should fit nicely within the current borders of Iran.
They are literally begging for obliteration. Wonder if Soros and the Democrats bribed them bigtime...can’t imagine they’d go to the point of suicide though.
