🇮🇷🇮🇱| Intense air defense activity over Zanjan, Iran

Come on... This can't be true. The yanks must have known that Iran would strike back.

It would be very funny and I hope that it is true. I just don't think it.

It wouldn't be the first time the USA has employed the "Imma strike you, but if you strike back you're a peace hating savage" tactic. They've done it several times already. For any country that acts diplomatically in good faith, it puts you in quite a tough spot. If you strike back (especially if you strike back harder), then you're risking escalations, but if you do nothing, then your enemy has gotten a free strike in.

the fact they called it everywhere a "pre-emptive" attack says it all when Iran had not intention whatsoever of starting this conflict

Isreal has been doing this non-stop since the supposed "cease fire."

Things going well, then

I remember when I worked with kids and they'd throw a snowball at me and then run into the "no-snowfights-area". Takes me back.

This is precisely what Saudi Arabia tried to do by removing the US planes shortly before the attack. Monarchs really do have minds stunted to the level of a child.
