Yes, their cruise missiles have terminal optical guidance.

Ballistic missile of any type cannot do that.

All I’ve heard today and even with the president’s speech, I can’t believe how gullible people are to believe anything coming out of Iran. These people are pulling our chain - they have no intention of backing off. I can’t believe that our government is falling for it. Are they or are THEY pulling our chain? It’s a maneuver to fake us out.

I’m also dumbfounded about all the new faces showing up on FOX cable including former military officers I have never heard of before. Anyone who has had FOX news on daily for the past 15-20 years is very familiar with all the experts but these are unknowns all in the past 3 days and pretty much lean “left” in their analysis. I don’t like it. Hannity can drive me nuts but I think our last best hope lies in him giving it to us straight...He is unstoppable and aggravating but we have to be thankful for him sticking to his guns. It can’t be easy! He was on vacation last week but was still on the phone giving Jason Chaffetz filling in for him the latest news he had received.

Check the link and look at the photos. What do you think of those hits? There were several buildings hit, and no causalities.

There has to be a reason for accurate hits no one killed or wounded.

It was all SRBMs and all the hits were ... almost accidental.

They aimed for the center of the complex and got some hits.

Lack of casualties is both sheer luck and the fact personnel were dispersed or underground.

Those missile are accurate to about 400 meters CEP at 200 miles.

said, "And Iran is now the good guy?"

This has been what i've been trying to understand since Qanon started saying this shit. I honestly don't understand it or believe it. Supposedly North Korea and Iran has been Deep state and is now in our pockets after this terrorist death

???
How did you get that?
Iran had to do something to save face and knew that it would be literal suicide to kill any Americans with the action...President Trump scares them and that fear is the same as respect...
