Peaceful Iranian’s missile attacks US Iraq concsulatw
Why don’t we resurrect Curtis Lemay and bomb all of their conceivable uranium making facilities and scientists into oblivion? We can’t let Iran continue merrily along. This is but one example.

First, it's not that easy. Many of their facilities are hardened and would be very difficult to destroy. It's not like when Israel bombed the Osirak reactor in Iraq in 1981, where they were able to take the facility out without too much trouble.
Second, we don't have a mutual defense agreement with Iraq. Bombing Iran would amount to a declaration of war on a country that hasn't attacked us. So why stop there? Should we bomb Saudi Arabia for what they're doing in Yemen? Bomb China for their actions against the Uighurs and Tibetans? Which side should we bomb in the ongoing war between Tigray and Ethiopia? I mean, if the U.S. is going to be the world's policeman. At least no one is saying we need to go to war with Russia to save Ukraine, or vice versa.
Finally, we are on the verge of renewing the JCPOA, which would limit Iran's nuclear development, so we would accomplish the same thing peacefully.
They bombed our EMBASSY. Iraq isn’t at all involved. We have terrific bomb technology and the ability to blow those so called “hardened” locations sky high. @LeopoldBloom
@jackjjackson Actually, missiles that possibly came from Iran may have been directed at our consulate. Before we start World War III, we may want to confirm where the missiles came from and what they were aimed at.
@jackjjackson I just saw that Iran took responsibility for the strike, saying it was in retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed several Revolutionary Guard members. However [quote]“The strikes were an outrageous violation of Iraq’s sovereignty. No U.S. facilities were damaged or personnel injured, and we have no indications the attack was directed at the United States,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters in Washington.[/quote] and [quote]Iraq’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday summoned Iran’s ambassador to protest the attack, calling it a flagrant violation of the country’s sovereignty.[/quote]
It was a strike against Iraq, not the U.S., at least according to...wait for it...Iraq and the U.S. But you're ready to go to war. Feel free to enlist, loudmouth.
This is where Trump could be useful, calling up his business partners in the IRG and asking them to back off.
