Look at that face-saving, tepid missile attack the Iranians launched in response to their general's demise, first informing the Iraqis whom they knew would tell our people, it was coming. And the "missiles" were actually Katyusha rockets, field artillery weapons, launched from square, multitube launchers once nicknamed "Stalin organs," as common in war-torn third world shitholes as RPGs. They weren't any kind of advanced weaponry.

The last thing they wanted was to kill any gringos, because they knew that the force of Trump's retaliation would be like a sledge hammer responding to a spitball attack. They were just showing their own people that they were "hitting back," though pitifully.

They may continue attacking us through proxies as usual, but again, Trump's response will put a stop to that very quickly, without risking any of our own blood and treasure.
