Iran strikes targets in Syria, Iraq and Pakistan, Pakistan follows up by striking into Iran
Iran conducted strikes against what it identified as terrorist targets. Iran said that the impacted terror groups threatened Iran’s interests. Iran recently suffered from a major terrorist attack. The Iranian response to this terror attack included a statement that Iran would strike back. The Iranians delivered on that statement by attacking what they identified as terrorist targets located in Syria, Iraq, and in Pakistan. Pakistan utilized a similar justification to strike targets within Iran.
From CNBC:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Within 24 hours, Iran launched missile and drone strikes on targets in three countries — Iraq, Syria and Pakistan — and took the extraordinary step of announcing its responsibility for the attacks, triggering anger from its neighbors.
The developments have heightened concerns over the possibility of a wider Middle East conflict, as the Israel-Hamas war and daily Israeli bombardment of the Gaza enclave passes the 100-day mark.
Baghdad recalled its ambassador to Iran after the Monday night attack on its northern semi-autonomous Kurdistan region killed four civilians and injured at least six. Tehran said the strike targeted an Israeli spy hub near the U.S. consulate in Erbil, the Kurdistan regional capital city. Iraqi Kurdish Prime Minister Masrour Barzani rejected the Iranian claim, describing the attack as a “crime against the Kurdish people.”
Iraq’s Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, called the attacks a “violation of international law” and said it would file a complaint with the U.N. Security Council. France’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Iran was “contributing to the escalation of regional tensions — and it must stop.”

Long range and accurate missiles/drones are fairly common now. The technology is widely available.
The consequences for America “bombing” to bring freedom and democracy to other countries is now a tab bigger.
Just think, in November Iran can celebrate 75 years of trying unsuccessfully to kill the Jews, If they don’t get a nuke before then. Of course if they do get the bomb, Kaveh will be a glassy parking lot the next day.
Calling on all Middle Eastern countries to orient on Iran and immediately go on the offensive. And, for whoever is already attacking them, keep it up! 👍
Kinda wishing that we are the ones doing the kicking.
“France’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Iran was “contributing to the escalation of regional tensions — and it must stop.””
Iran retreats into the corner, trembling in fear, in 3….2…..1……
Looks like the mad mullahs FA…and the Pakis made them FO. Good on the Pakis. Hit ’em again…harder! Until a bully gets a bloody nose the bully will continue to bully. I will admit that I have a hard time keeping up with who is who with all of the terror groups out there and/or who is operating in some one else’s territory. Seems like, tho, all one has to do over there is scream The Jews! (much like screaming racist here) and it justifies an attack. Suni shi-ite killing one another when they don’t have any Jews (or Americans) to kill?
I repeat, IMHO, this sh*t will not end until the last two (2) Middle Easterners kill one another with a rock. Hell, that’s how it all started, isn’t it?
Has this set a precedence where as one country can attack another country that is “harboring” some other group of nefarious individuals? Does that mean we, the US, can do some pre-emptive strikes on the cartels pouring drugs and invaders across our border? Asking for a friend
The answer to your question is a hard No. The illegal violation of our border is Bribem admin policy for adding ten million illegals to the FSA.
It is the Cloward-Piven strategy writ large.
If this keeps up, the Pakis are going to use a nuke on another Muslim country instead of on India. That’s kind of ironic…the “Muslim bomb” used against other Muslims.
Holy Shiite!
Pop! Goes the World
Saw this movie in the 70’s (I think narrated by Orson Wells) called “The Man Who Saw Tomorrow”, scared me half to death then, now is starting to look like the end of that movie
Iraq intends to file a complaint to the UN Security Council in protest.
(As if doing so will achieve anything because it never has in the past.)
Aren’t they part of the Security Council? Wait, maybe it’s the Human Rights Council? No, wait, it was the Women’s Rights Council? No? Hell, they’re on some of them. With 🇱🇾, and 🇨🇳, 🇷🇺, 🇲🇲, 🇦🇴, etc!!!
C’mon Man! Do better!!
That 1980s song “99 Red Balloons” is playing in my head…
Seal off the region, throw in several boxes of knives, and lock the door.
Figured this is as good a place as any to drop this:
I think that “Knife Fight” is the add on pack to this:
What about, My Very First Meth Lab
The Biden foreign affairs policy is working wonders- on getting WW3 started. I guess it’s luck for Iran that they came into all of those $Bs thanks to Our current admin!
The conspiracy side of me wonders if this really was a back door agreement to get rid of the undesirable outsiders in their nations they really did not want.
“You bomb this jerk who is from your nation and we will bomb the jerk who is from ours. We both say how unacceptable the attacks were for a week then drop it.”

Who the fuck are you?
I haven’t seen you around before…
Dude, he’s been around since before you showed up. He doesn’t post as much as he used to. But we know him.
