Iran Attacked Locations in Syria and Iraq, Killing Four Civilians
The IRGC missed the nearby American Consulate in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for bombings in Iraq and Syria, killing at least four people.
IRGC claimed it targeted Israel’s Mossad headquarters in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, where “anti-Iran terrorist groups” gathered to plan out attacks on Iran.
According to the Revolutionary Guards, the attack was a “response to the recent evil acts of the Zionist regime in martyring IRGC and resistance commanders,” apparently referring to a strike in Syria that killed high-ranking IRGC Brig. Gen. Razi Mousavi and a pair of separate attacks in Lebanon that killed Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri and senior Hezbollah military commander Wissam al-Tawil. Both Arouri and Tawil had close links with Iran.
“We assure our nation that the Guards’ offensive operations will continue until avenging the last drops of martyrs’ blood,” the IRGC statement says.
The “Mossad headquarters” supposedly also had those who planned and executed the suicide attack at the commemoration of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani.
The missiles killed four people, “including Peshraw Dizayee, the prominent Kurdish businessman,” and injured six people.
The IRGC missed the nearby American Consulate.
The IRGC struck Islamic State locations in Syria for one of the same reasons as Erbil: the attack on the crowd at a commemoration of Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani.

Iran's "retaliation against Israel" tonight:
• Bombing a clinic in Idlib (this is one of their favorite things to do)
• Bombing and killing five Kurdish civilians in Erbil
• Bombing an empty swath of desert south of Aleppo— Kareem Rifai 🌐 (@KareemRifai) January 15, 2024
Two days ago, Biden told reporters "I've already delivered the message to Iran. They know not to do anything."

Meh. President Biden will send a double-strong letter threatening “consequences” for the Houtis (while ignoring Iran), warning of a triple-strong letter if they do it again . . . . IF the president can locate his SecDef and prevail upon him to hold a series of meetings to discuss the most perfect timing of delivery . . .
Start infrastructure destruction in Iran.
“Two days ago, Biden told reporters “I’ve already delivered the message to Iran. They know not to do anything.”
Dumbass left it on the wrong doorstep (somewhere in Kuwait).
If you ask obama why the Iranians would do this, he’d tell you it’s because “of the ongoing unbearable reality of their lives their circumstances”
After all, they have huge amounts of natural resources, and a huge coastline, so naturally it’s perfectly understandable that they would focus on killing Jews , killing Americans, and ladies’ hair.
To Obama and to Susan rice and blinken and Hillary and Sullivan and Jayapal and the others this makes perfect logical sense
If you ask tucker Carlson why the Iranians did this he’d tell you that it’s because “Jews are historically democrat liberals and for decades they ve always yearned for horrific wars with peace-loving middle eastern peoples who just want to live and let live.”
The more I learn about Tucker the less I like him.
If you ask anybody at wash post or nytimes if you ask anybody at msnbc or at cnn if you ask almost any faculty at our “You’re Stupid We’re Annointed” universities whyd this happen, they will reassure you that it has nothing to do with Iran’s stated unswerving goal for over forty years: Death to America
We get distracted by the whole Death to Israel thing
Fortunately our Betters help us to remain focused on the fact that the Iranians do not really mean it when they state over and over again “Death to America.”
So many interpretations to the phrase “Death To America”
“…(while ignoring Iran)…”
“Start infrastructure destruction in Iran.”
““I’ve already delivered the message to Iran.””
“…Iran’s stated unswerving goal for over forty years…”
Do you want an all-out war against Iran? Because this is how you get an all-out war with Iran.
it’s inevitable
Iran declared war a long time ago, time that they start paying. It could be incremental, or we could just squash them like bugs. This needs to be done before they become a nuclear threat
I remember when Iran had young ladies in college. What Islam has done in Iran, they would do everywhere if they could.
Stumbling mumbling biden, international symbol of weakness. Islamofascist terrorists are smiling.
Lloyd Austin says that even though he’s working from home and after his 10:15 Dr.’s appointment, he will devote 110% of his energies to this problem just before his afternoon nap 😉
Thank God adults are back in charge in the WH!
Man, Im really enjoying all this safety they have been delivering since 2020! Cannot get enough of it!
In spite of Biden (laughably) warning them ‘DOOOOOOON’T’, did they fire at US targets and simply miss? Or, did they fire indiscriminately without worry about where their missiles would land? If the answer to either question is yes, it just underscores how craven Iran is. Think about what the world would be like should they successfully build even a modest nuclear arsenal.
An assault on our grid would be easier and more destructive. Good thing we don’t have a bunch of folks in the US who are sympathetic to that…oh wait. In any event we have total control of the border and no one gets away….oh wait.
That sort of asymmetric attack would be devastating. Coupled with an EMP and/or popping off a dirty nuke in several major sea ports would be incredibly horrible.
Agreed, but not as horrible as what our response would be.
Elections really do have consequences eh. Thank fuck the adults are back in charge in the WH.
