What!?!? We can’t just randomly fire on other nations without them retaliating? Outrageous!
How could the Iranian’s do such a thing! Won’t someone please think of poor Israel who shot first, or the idiotic American president who just wants to drop a nuke to satisfy his ego.
Totally expected. What would be unexpected is firing at the country itself.

Why not attack the U.S. directly? There are plenty of coastal bases in the U.S.
I feel like it would hurt a whole lot more if they were to go after something on U.S. soil…not that I exactly want that. Being bombed at home sounds terrifying.
Im just curious what the logic was behind this.
Even if they wanted to, how would they accomplish that?
Same way the U.S. flew war planes all the way to Iran.
This seems performative. Only a handful of missiles and apparently Iranian state TV is reporting successful strikes, but I can’t find anything reputable that confirms that. Sounds like all missiles were intercepted. Iran gets to show their people that they’ve responded without risking a true escalation.
That would make sense. I guess from my point of view, I’d be pretty pissed if I was Iran right now. At least 9 of their nuclear scientists were assassinated last week, and now their nuclear sites have been all bombed. That’s as good of a declaration of war as youre going to get. But I can understand why they wouldn’t want to wage an all put war if they dont think they’re prepared for one.
Yeah from the footage I saw in this thread it seems like they were all intercepted by Patriot missiles and if any did hit they did minimal damage. Russia just launched hundreds of drones and missiles into Kyiv. Iran certainly could have done more, so I absolutely agree it’s performative
Because these are short to medium range ground fired missiles? They don’t reach that far. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think they have submarines that can get close and fire missiles at the United States proper.
I have no idea. They have a nuclear program, so I assumed they have a somewhat sophisticated and modern military.
That’s a bad assumption, North Korea has nukes.
It’s just a bigger stick.
Fear. And a lot more difficult to successfully hit.
There will be a “terrorist” attack in the near future. The something with guns during a crowded event. My money is on a 4th of July event shooting. Sadly that’s the only way Iran and other poor nations have to fight back. Until Iran and poor nations get nukes they will be taken advantage of. I’m pro Iran nukes simple because them not having them is obviously not working for anyone
There hasn’t been a war on U.S. mainland in 150 years. If a misil hits it it could trigger easily WWIII. Last attack on U.S. was 9/11 and that started multiple wars.
Didn’t Japan hit Oregon in ww2
Have you tried using logic to answer your question?
Apparently not. since its so obvious to you, why dont you use your big brain and share with the class?
Why haven’t you tried to use logic?
