They were protesting the US bombing an Iran-backed militia group in Iraq
well there you go
let's imagine there were french militia groups in the UK and germany bombed them, then french supporters stormed the german embassy in the UK.
is that Brits or French interests at work?
Let's say the head french general was in London at the time of the storming
would that look fishy?
Just because it benefits Iran doesn't necessarily mean that Iran planned it
True, but building plausible deniablity into any covert action is the first thing you do.
The Iranians are already in row-back mode
Iran and Iraq hate each other, having Iranian backed anything in Iraq is not for the benefit of Iraq.
Don't Iran basically control the Iraq parliament at this point?
its 5 now
one of them resurrected i guess
Exactly how is this different than Russian or US air strikes in Syria?
Because the US is already dangerously close to a war with Iran
how close is dangerously close?
like they are going to hop in their speed boats and invade california close?
Well a war could have been declared yesterday when they assassinated the government official
It wasn't but it took Iran and the US closer to war
Further escalation like this bombing could easily push relations past the breaking point and lead to war
I see how it can look like that.
but if you look at it from a practical standpoint
what the fuck can Iran do?
other than be dicks to US allies in the region
which they are already doing
They can attack US bases in the region
they won't
They can attack the US navy in the region
lol
They can shoot down US drones in the region
they did that already
Just because they can't invade the American Mainland doesn't mean that they can't do anything
anything they do won't hurt us and will give us a reason to annihilate them
nothing is going to happen
It would largely be a stalemate because the US doesn't have the numbers to actually completely occupy Iran
Not without putting considerable funds into it and probably starting the draft at least
If you knocked off the Ayoltollah and his underlings the previous secular democracy would return, pre-revolution style.
would be ugly as fuck
