    Trying to show there people they are taking revenge by not killing any us soldiers but attacking bricks and mortar, iran look very weak after this. NO need for us response to this.

    I’m talking about the countermeasure fire, not the missiles. The missiles hit their targets in the main - there’s no reasonable way you land missiles on people and expect NOT to kill people.

    "If Iran does anything that they shouldn't be doing, they're going to be suffering the consequences, and very strongly.” - Trump

    The red line is us casualties, there was none because iran knew not to push trump.

    Going by cheerfuls reports and Iranians claims tens of rockets or dozens launched. depending on who's jumping up and down cheering .

    Funny, when i was reporting it was happening you guys were in complete denial!
    I clearly said there fog of war so some reports maybe be inaccurate.
    They fired 15 ballistic missiles. not a low number.

    People have been saying for years that Trump would start a war within one year of the 2020 election, it's amazing how transparent this is, especially with all the negative press and getting impeached for the fiasco with Ukraine.

    What will be interesting now is, who will back the US? I think the UK are f***ed thanks to brexit and basically have no choice. After that though, who knows...

    and still managed to kill no us at a stationary target, unbelievable incompetence, while the us could kill a man in a moving truck.

    We'll have to see what Dufus does next, no country on earth would stand by if their second in command was assasinated

    CNN- officials are claiming the Iranians struck areas of the base with very little US personnel. Looks to be intentional to avoid deaths.

    Yes not to cross the us red line as i have been saying with hours, very weak from iran after all that revenge talk.

    It clearly didn’t work. All ten hit the air base.

    In the video posted from the base you can clearly see at least one c-ram engaging targets and next to no explosions suggesting they did do their job ,

    And add they fact we've seen no burning base of any kind no huge explosions which would be expected if ten rockets hit a military base ,


    Terrible for Iraqi families.

    Smart choice, Iranians acted responsibly. We see what Trump does now, tomo. I'm off now.

    What we’ve learned so far.

    1. The Iranians have kept their fancy missiles in reserve.
    2. 11 of the 15 launched hit their designated target. 4 failed in flight.
    3. The US seemingly ‘didn’t bother’ to try and intercept them, cause...?
    4. The fancy countermeasure guns at the base didn’t stop the missiles hitting the base
    5. Some people seem to think you can fire a missile hundreds of miles, land them in too of a military base, and somehow specify the nationality of the people it kills in that base.
    6. The US military claims it could track the missiles, and get everyone on base safely protected in time, except seemingly Iraqis.

    Trumpism really is little more than a cult of hate, nothing more. Just look at the trump supporters in this thread, positively giddy about death and war kicking off and talking about it like premier league fans in the days before the start of the season. No different to the glee they take in what is happening to the children on the Mexican border.

    They're a sad, disgusting lot who will be remembered for what they are.

    The DoD say that ten missiles hit the base. I think they’re best placed to know. The countermeasures didn’t work, that appears to be the fact based on what the people using them have to say.

    If by bottled it you mean successfully launched a strike on two military bases, then sure.

    They hit the base. But if you’d rather pretend they missed - sure.
