US forces in Iraq under attack from Iranian cruise missiles. [IMPORTANT STAFF POST]
- Thread starter Arc

It would help if our president or government made an actual formal announcement.Just again to repeat the stupidity of sharing unsubstantiated reports:
This shit is now trending on Twitter despite being wholly untrue.
Let's hope there's no retaliation. Please, let there be no retaliation.
It is incredibly sad.
There's no end in sight for the region, either.
Could mean literally anything. Probably best not to speculate.
When I was there in ~2013 the locals told us that in years past they had endured rocket attacks yeah. At that point it had been over a year since they had experienced any when we were there though.
They are goading the wrong administration. This could get very bad in a matter of hours.
the more tweets I see from this guy the less credible he seems
Freaking weird the VP and co left the white house after US military bases were attacked. Shouldn't they like be working? Not saying ordering attacks, but still...
There's no way the baby in the WH doesn't respond.
Unfortunately right out the gate, it was one of the first things to be
Edit: It was tweeted from some Forbes contributor with zero sources. I shouldn't have said "reported." :s
FUCKING LISTEN TO YOUR BETTER ANGELS TRUMP*
*Assuming this is real. Also, assuming Trump has any.
Their Government killed 100's of their own protestors in November 🤷♂️
What. The. Fuck?!? They need to shut down the speculation and fear by saying something. Don't let Trump give an address, but make a damned statement.
he is just translating and forwarding news from inside Iran.
Pretty much. Especially since there isn't any other source reporting these yet.
Asides from being an overwhelmed shithead coward, I think Tump was informed that any retaliation is inevitably going to result in lost US lives. He doesn't care if those people die, but Donnie wanted an unmistakable victory and something that won't tarnish his reputation. That's the only thing preventing the dumb war from commencing tonight.
If by freaked out you mean taking a nap after 2 Filet-o-Fishes and 2 Big Macs for dinner.
This makes me think they're maybe going to downplay the events by acting like they're ignoring what happened.
This is incredibly unorthodox. So what, we're just gonna be left to speculate until the morning. That's just asking for the spread of further misinformation and rumore
let hope somebody has managed to calm him down taken away whatever horrible options he could have on the table.
There's no such thing as "done for the night" in a situation like this, even when hostilities die down.
Are they goading him or hoping he'll stand down?
That's bullshit. The Pentagon confirmed it came came from Iran and a missile launch detection is one of the easiest things for them to detect.
I know people are sying ww3, ww3 and stuff like that.
But ww3 means WORLD war. Who exactly would be players in this world war exactly? America, Iran, and......

I can´t confirm but he claims this about him in his bio:
Journalist. Director,
Edit: No head of ICE, that explains a lot... Back on topic.
Considering Trump's history of taking the worst action possible - if leaked reports are anything to go by, he chose to assassinate this general when that was literally being proposed as the worst thing to do in a list of responses - are we really to believe Trump is going to take this and let it be that?
He's already said his Twitter responses now count as announcements to congress on military policy and has implied in the past that he wouldn't make public announcements about what he'd do in order to not "inform" those he would target militarily. Him potentially not making a response, then, should be one where we assume this type of response is being pushed.

Should we be worried that he's gonna do something even more impulsive/rash(i.e. make a declaration of war via twitter) at an odd 2 or 3 am in the morning?
The silence from him should be a red flag, IMO. But hopefully cooler heads prevail.
Maybe, but as a journalist he should be differentiating between what's newsworthy and what's Iranian internal propaganda.
The U.S. has plenty of standoff options that wouldn't put personnel at risk. Let's hope somebody talked him off the ledge and urged restraint.
