Yes, the US would also not retaliate if Iran bombed US soil(!!) right? I mean, if Iran unprovoked started raining missiles on US soil then said "you better not retaliate" then the US and its people would be fine with that?

he ain't the last time the U.S. lost track of proportional we destroyed Iran's navy. Iran don't want this smoke and the Iranian people are fed up with their Government.

Unprovoked? You gullible idiot born yesterday. The ayatollah began their regime on the slaughter of americans and have been doing it directly or through proxies every since. Go let your heart bleed for some nation that isn't chanting for your death.

Former CENTCOM commander and CBS News contributor Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie says he agrees with former Defense Sec. Bob Gate's assessment that bombing Iran's nuclear program would, at best, delay Iran's nuclear ambitions, but not end them. "Ultimately, you need a policy decision from Iran to end the nuclear program, so I think the secretary is right in that position. Now, if you don't get a policy decision from Iran, you've got to commit yourself to perhaps revisiting striking the nuclear program."

Former CENTCOM commander Gen. Frank McKenzie says the U.S. military can call the operation in Iran a success when “the Strait of Hormuz is open” and they “get some kind of deal on the ballistic missile program.” “But, I think there're very discreet things that, for me, at least from an operational military perspective, would look like victory,” he says. “I believe all of those things are actually within our grasp. We just need to continue. Iran will ultimately respond to the use of force.”

When asked what comes next following the strikes on Iran, former CENTCOM commander Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie tells Margaret Brennan that “the American people should be prepared for several more days of exchanges of long-range rockets” and that “we’re still in the early stages of this campaign.” “I think we're probably going to have more casualties before this is over. I hope we can minimize those, and I know our commanders in the region are doing everything they can to keep those numbers down,” he says.

Iran coordinated the attack on the US air base in Qatar with Qatari authorities to reduce the number of casualties. "Iran had to retaliate symbolically in a way that offered all sides a way out." The American base has been evacuated. Iran claimed that the number of ballistic missiles fired at the US was equal to the number of bombs the US dropped on Iran. The attack was therefore purely symbolic.

One overlooked Trump move that takes on new salience is his ouster this year of Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In a rare Jan 2024 interview, Brown signaled that he sought to prevent war with Iran. Asked whether the US is "not being tough enough on Iran", Gen. Brown responded: "Do you want us in a full-scale war? ...We don’t want to go down a path of greater escalation that drives to a much broader conflict within the region." He also said later in the interview that Iran doesn't want war with the US. Did this factor in Trump's decision to fire him?

"With the help of Israel, and with the demonstrators, I think this regime stands no chance and they will fall." This will lead to a "Golden Age" for Jewish people, he predicts.

“If the US and Israel would stop attacking Iran, Iran will stop. If the US comes back to the negotiation table, Iran would come,” says former Iranian negotiator Mousavian. “But if the objective is regime change… I think Iranians ultimately would go for the nuclear bomb.”

Former CIA director Patreaus confirms that the primary reason the US attacked Iran was because they knew Israel would attack (the same reason Rubio gave early on): In other words what he's concretely saying is that they attacked to prevent the victim of a war of aggression from defending themselves.
