The Iran Thread II

The U.S. has begun retaliatory strikes against Iranian armed forces and militants in Syria and Iraq following a drone attack on U.S. forces last weekend, U.S. Central Command said Friday.

Strikes began at 4 p.m. Eastern Time, officials said, targeting Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force and "affiliated militia groups."

The strikes, delivered by aircraft including some long-range bombers from the United States, hit more than 85 positions including command and intelligence centers, rockets and missiles, drone storage sites and supply chain facilities.

The action is the first direct response to a Jan. 28 drone attack on a U.S. outpost in Jordan that killed three service members and wounded at least 40 others.

Bolton, who was Trump's worst hire, always wants the USA to fight as many wars as possible.

But now he's finally getting his wish. War against Russia, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Iran.

Bolton should be sent to the front lines.
 
The U.S. military conducted new airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels, officials said Thursday.

American forces destroyed four explosive-loaded drone boats and seven mobile anti-ship cruise missile launchers Thursday that could target vessels in the Red Sea, the U.S. military’s Central Command said.

“They presented an imminent threat to U.S. Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region,” Central Command said. “These actions will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy and merchant vessels.”

The Houthis have not acknowledged the losses.
 
The religious leader was still free to post on Elon Musk's X platform, where all of his latest messages hit the familiar notes, demonizing Israel and extolling Hamas amid a war between the Jewish state and the Palestinian terrorist group sparked by the October 7 atrocities.

Iran is an Islamic theocracy defined by brutal repression of its own people, ruthless expansionism abroad and vicious antisemitism, including Holocaust denial. It is the main benefactor of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, two jihadist groups attacking Israel and seeking its destruction.
