Iran fires retaliatory strikes: One killed
Iran targeted several Gulf Arab states in retaliatory strikes: leaving one dead as of the time of reporting. The targeted nations had a U.S. military presence. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard declared that “criminal U.S. bases” had been struck by “powerful blows” and that Iran’s operation will continue until “the enemy is decisively defeated.” As a part of his message on this event, President Donald Trump told Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to lay down their weapons.
From Reuters:
“All occupied territories and the criminal U.S. bases in the region have been struck by the powerful blows of Iranian missiles. This operation will continue relentlessly until the enemy is decisively defeated,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said.
LOUD BOOMS, GREY SMOKE
Bahrain confirmed an attack inside its territory and said a service center of the U.S. Fifth Fleet had been struck. Video from a Reuters witness showed a plume of grey smoke rising near the small island nation’s coast as sirens wailed.
Loud booms were heard across Abu Dhabi, according to five witnesses including two Reuters correspondents. Some residents received a phone alert telling them to shelter in the closest secure building and stay away from windows because of missile threats.
One witness told Reuters she heard five booms in rapid succession that caused windows in a house near Abu Dhabi’s Corniche to vibrate. Other witnesses in the Al Dhafra and Bateen areas heard loud booms as well.
Fighter jets could be seen flying around the Yas Island area of Abu Dhabi on Saturday afternoon.
In Qatar, the military said in a statement that it had intercepted incoming Iranian missiles before they reached Qatari territory after “joint coordination”. Several successive waves of blasts were heard in the Qatari capital Doha.
After the U.S. Embassy issued a warning to take shelter in Doha, many residents carried on their usual activities. Shoppers were in supermarkets, beachgoers headed to the seaside and a yellow double-decker tour bus filled with tourists drove through the city’s West Bay district.

Since all the stories indicate a “retaliatory strike” I can only assume someone put warheads on foreheads in iran. I haven’t seen anything about that other than a claim a girls school was hit. Somehow I doubt much of any school for girls is present in iran.
Disregard the question, I just saw the thread about it a couple articles down the page. I do find it ironic that what I saw on the “news” was pretty much only about the retaliation, not the US strikes.
Supreme Leader Khamenei’s compound has been destroyed:
Possibly we got the Ayatollah.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/breaking-israel-reportedly-believes-iran-143414156.html
He dead!
https://www.newsweek.com/us-iran-strikes-iran-supreme-leader-ayatollah-ali-khamanei-killed-11598102
At last, buh-BYE to that old goat-raper!
And all goats in that area breathe a sigh of relief.
Iran state media admits he’s dead.
Blindly shooting in the dark…what we you expect?
Video of Iranians celebrating the strikes:
I’d be celebrating too if I lived there.
Lots of incoming on US facilities in the region but no casualties reported so far.
No touching.
We got some sh*t staged for this over there;
2, 4, 6, 8… who did US eliminate?
Iranian missile striking Abu Dhabi City as claimed in the post:
They even shot at down town Riyadh.
So much for generating sympathy.
Wow, they’re cutting their own wrists and throat at the same time!
Yup, Saudi Arabia is putting its support behind its neighbors who also got attacked.
Iranian missile striking U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet base:
I just found out we have military families there for some reason?
According to Jennifer Griffin, the strikes are going to take days rather than hours.
President Trump calls on the Iranians to take over their government:
So now Iran is getting its neighbors even more pissed off at them, brilliant move!
Just waiting for the obligatory pro-Iranian protestors to show up in NY, DC, and LA.
Speaking of which, when will AOC file articles of impeachment for Trump breaking international law?
I was waiting for the 7 11 clerk with a dead rat on his head to do that.
They have begun already, with Iranian flags, professionally prepared signs and pre approved talking points. At least in st louis anyway.
Never forget what you are fighting for.
Before you all get angsty…I am absolutely in support of the Iranian people overthrowing their regime.
And I am not against the US assisting in that.
But that is not what this is, even if it results in regime change, this is an asinine way to go about it.
Partnering with both Israel and Saudi Arabia, Iran’s greatest adversaries, makes it far more likely that Iranian people will rally around the flag, Iranian nationalism, and the regime while making it easier for the regime to frame anyone opposing the regime as traitors to Iran.
This attack is an agenda. One that is not in the interests of the American people or the United States. We are serving as a puppet for Saudi and Israeli interests. Again.
All while allowing the administration to change the domestic political narrative for a while.
I guess you preferred the Biden way of giving incoherent speeches between naps and “vitamin” shots to accomplish absolutely nothing in four years. Allowing Iran to build up a huge weapons program to support Russia’s attack in the Ukraine and launch the largest terror attack in the history of the Middle East.
Because the Iranians really liked that strategy too.
Good talk.
If you think Trump’s speeches are coherent you have not seen many of them.
Not sure how anyone could miss them.
He has given more speeches and answered more questions from reporters than sleepy Joe did in 4 years as President, 8 years as VP and way too many years as a Senator. No teleprompter required either.
Frankly, he’s far more coherent than you.
His are actually coherent. Even if you don’t like his message of America First, there is no misunderstanding about what he is saying!!
Dust of those college degrees and take a refresher course or two!
Much more than Joe Biden’s.
Don’t forget Obama’s BS with them as well!
With all your wisdom, your advanced knowledge, why oh why are you ranting helplessly in a veteran’s forum and not participating or directing a national security organization? The answer is quite simple. It’s because you are a complete fraud, incapable of anything resembling an original thought, your strength is parroting what you’ve been told to say. Most of us have paid attention to Iran since 1979. You bring nothing to the table.
Dismissed.
We’re just finishing what they started back in 1979.
Wow. Your post didn’t age very well.
They never do, but this one aged extremely quickly!
Perhaps you forgot that Iran is also our enemy and has been since ’79. Why do you think their favorite motto is “Death to America”? Read their constitution. Read about Islam.
I knew there was love in your heart but didn’t know it was so sweaty, torrid and illegal. You have my sympathy though, pining for him the rest of your days as you surely are.
Where I first saw the image above…
In case you want to see what veterans who have not spent the last 10 years in an echo chamber are saying…
https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/s/CZnugHk72B
Don’t lie, we know it is your old helmet from back when you served under other than honorable circumstances
What an idiot, quoting the leftist cesspool known as Reddit?!? You are not a serious person.
This one time at band camp….
So let me get this straight: You are attempting to counter TAH, which you describe as an echo chamber, with quotes from a Reddit echo chamber? Did you really think that all the way through?
The nation’s education system has failed you.
He failed himself…
He’s a dropout of UC Berzerkely and life itself.
We all know that there are more retards besides yourself that have worn the uniform. They are the ones that are always ready to bounce on their battle buddies so that they make it to the post theater for the DEI/ LGBTQ********, indoctrination training.
We know/knew who you all were! We were the ones that Charlie Mike’d while YOU ALL did your bullshit!
Look at those spots leopard!!!!!
He used echo chamber and reddit in the same reply. Lol.
Lars’ head gear. He likes to think about all the “ass” he’s going to get cuz it always on his mind…
Did he even serve enough years to retire? Oh, how I pity those who were cursed with having to serve under him!
Of course, YOU did; you’re a Democrat and he was your peeps’ top “it’s all about who you know” buddy for years. I got a picture of your mom in my K-pot.
We are NOT the same…
Fuck you, Lars. Go suck a cock.
Just contemplating it for a minute, I’d say that you have a huge right to be angry! However, that anger could have been avoided!
You failed your oath as a Soldier and Officer!
You failed your oath as a LEO
You failed your oath as a student and just soaked up your “teachings”! Without question, or hypotheses or critical thinking (which, BTW, is what an education is supposed to inspire)
I guess I’d be angry too if I failed at,,,,, wait for it,,,,,,,, wait,,,,,,,
Independent thought!!!!!!!!
Try and do better!!!
It seems that those of us that lean to the conservative side understand that we will never agree with everything that “our” politicians say or do. The left however, expects 100% compliance across the board. I say that to counter the accusation that I assume that you are prepared to hurl at me that I am a “MAGA Trump boot licker”! I don’t like all things Trump and a lot of times I wish that he would (and I know it would help him) shut the hell up!! Just because someone is an asshole, doesn’t mean that you have to say it every time, or call them out every time (even if they deserve it). I’ll say it again, I didn’t vote Trump in 2016. Didn’t trust or like him. Less than 6- months into his first term, I saw that he was doing good for this country. Why can’t your side admit to policies that are good for this country??
Try to start utilizing the great opportunities that you have been given to utilize critical thought from the military, LE, education, etc.
For real, try and do better!!
I regret that I only have one upvote to give your post.
Found the source of all our ills in the middle east. Or at least a good majority. Maybe he was justa sucky mooslum.
You truly are a cretin propagandist. Your TDS can only be cured with a lobotomy.
Der Commie-sar’s Sand Pappy is no more…
Iran just turned folks who might have been allies or neutral into enemies.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Firing rockets at the rest of the Arab States shows the level of panic, loss of discipline, and command & control. You knew they’d attack Israel, so that’s why the Ford is in position. The IDF cut the heads of Hezbollah to secure they’re Northern Flank. I hope the Iranian/Persian people can free themselves from yoke of the Islamic Theocracy and win their freedom with minimal bllodshed.
It is official, SA has joined the fight.
Iran has even lost the Palestinians.
https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2026/02/28/saudi-arabia-forget-what-we-said-earlier-were-all-in-n3812380
Are they firing at Arab states, or just blindly launching shit? Or both?
“Use it or lose it”.
So sharing Fox News, I am not unaware of political bias! This article does a good timeljne tracking of how the “spontaneous” protests over US attacking Iran happened over night, and in some cases 10 minutes before the President actually informed the public. It is a very good read about how these protesters and events happen so quickly. I did not realize the level of coordination, but hey I work for a living so that’s probably why.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/nonprofits-funded-by-pro-ccp-tycoon-mobilize-pro-regime-protests-10-minutes-before-trump-even-reveals-he-launc
Iran knew before the president’s announcement obviously, because things were getting burny.
😂😂😂😂
Same guy financing the anti-ICE protests, we wrote about him a week or so back. He needs to go away.
Strap him to the next outgoing rocket pointed at Iran. When he complains, inform him that shortly, his screams will fade away as the rocket leaves the launch pad or vehicle. He may carry on with his protests as he approaches the Iranian border, but we won’t have to listen to him any longer.
Next order of business would be to find any/all that leaked this and give them the same ride on their own personal rocket. Gather them all around the next launch to watchte festivities.
And no, you won’t have to be this tall —– to ride the ride.
The General consensus is that the Ayatollah is now spending quality time with 40 new born goats.
Getting more confirmations. The tears are falling like rain in Minnesota.
Too bad, so sad, normies don’t care.
Heck yeah– adios Ayatollah!
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard tells ships that it is forbidden to cross the Straits of Hormuz:
Sounds legit.
What was the last known location of that Iranian Navy vessel again? Somebody might want to check on life rafts reported in the area.
Does this mean I can’t get one of those cool Iranian gunboats? Well, fuck.
You can still get one but may have some mild BDA.
Well, there goes the rest of the Iramian navy shortly.
Close the Strait of Hormuz? I don’t think they could close a 7-11.
Iran sends attack drones against Manama, Bahrain building:
Violent Iranian butthurt ain’t just reserved for ‘Merica any more.
It’s not exactly cowboys and Indians, but I guess Persians and A-Rabs will do.
Iran’s Baghdad Bob/Comical Ali? Iranian general declares that weapons “never seen before” will be brought out.
If they got them from Russia or China, I doubt that they’re going to work any better than they did in Venezuela.
Iran is getting 1/100th of the hammering it has earned for itself since 1979 and the only people angry about in the entire world are the Dems and some goat-loving niche populations in Lebanon and Yemen. And the commissar.
The bombing campaign should last 445 days, to allow sufficient time to destroy every facet of the Iranian regime, air defense network, tactical missiles, all military hardware and leadership, nuclear research sites, and any radical faction that might try to replace the current leadership.
I won’t believe the Ayatollah and all other senior leaders are on display for the world to see. Pictures, or it didn’t happen.
Leave the important infrastructure that the Iranian people need to move on with their daily lives.
YMMV…
It looks like they’re going to accomplish this in days.
President Donald Trump’s Truth Social statement on the death of Khamenei:
Image of full statement:
Let’s hope it doesn’t go on that long.
The US did not just hit targets that analysists expected to hit but targets they didn’t expect. Iran wasn’t able to hide anything from the US and Israel, this appears to be a decapitation strike that’s thoroughly dismantling the Iranian regime’s ability to fight back let alone survive:
The “No Kings” crowd are now protesting the actions being taken to collapse a dictatorial regime… NPC through and through:
The left may be protesting our actions in Iran, but the Iranians are celebrating:
Not only that but earlier they were defending nuclear weapon proliferation. At least they are consistently bad.
Iranians celebrating the elimination of Ayatollah Khamenei:
How will they ever get over their sadness? Not the Iranians, but the Democrats?
At least President Trump got them to oppose war.
I watched the entire two hours of the UN Security Council Meeting. Other than China and Russia everyone told Iran to FO. Even the Arab League Observer laid in to Israel first and then told Iran Iglib wajhak.
Then Iran rep literally threatened the US Rep because he said he was being rude.
China and Russia stand to lose from this event. China gets a lot of its oil from Iran. If President Trump gets the same arrangement in Iran as he has with Venezuela, China’s “gravy train” would come to an end. This is going to add more pressure on the Chinese economy, already at the point to where it’s starting to “eat itself.” Russia is going to lose a source of its military supplies.
Crash course on how the US and Israeli attack against Iran played out:
Washington Post eulogized Ayatollah Khamenei as if he was someone other than the deadly regime figure he was:
He was especially fond of proving his faith in his God by sending people straight to heaven whenever women showed their ankles or men spoke roughly out of turn.
Desperate to regain control of the situation, Iranian law enforcement/security personnel are going around and shooting at or near protesters:
