The strikes are aimed at deterring further attacks from Iranian-backed militias that are targeting the U.S. military and ships traveling the Red Sea.

  3. US soldiers and its allies in the Middle East should be more careful. Your targets are a whole religious sect, Shia muslims. Your retaliatory strikes just increases the hatred of Shia muslims.

  4. Fyi… In December, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken fast-tracked the sale of munitions to Israel, bypassing congressional review, including 155 mm artillery shells and related equipment worth $147.5 million. 30k Innocent Palestinians killed with our weapons and counting. Z10n1$+s Biden and Blinken is responsible for their deaths and those of our soldiers by supporting Israel's atrocities 😡

  5. To stop the Iranian-backed militias, US should back the Kurds to liberate the oil-rich city of Kirkuk which president Trump gave it to these militias in October 16th 2017, and they started stealing the oil to finance their operations in the area

  7. This keeps reminding me of the Vietnam "Rolling Thunder " air campaign.
    President Johnson tried to communicate to North Vietnam a message to de escalate by drawing up a list of targets 1-200. He was told that if the US bombers erased targets 1-5 the US would win. But Johnson did not want to widen/escalate the war . So he started at the bottom…… and gradually worked up.
    The Vietnamese thought Johnson was insane.

  8. Apparently, our bases are still being hit. Iran only understands force. Biden is just kicking the can down the road with token attacks on Iran's proxies. Another Operation Praying Mantis is in order and then push back from the table. If they continue, further target oil producing and military sites. Biden won't do this though, as they're obsessed with that failed nuclear agreement. The entire Middle East is being destabized by Iran and everyone knows it. Stop appeasing the aggressor as from past history, it doesn't work.

  9. For those wondering, we do not use carrier assets exclusively unless we must. In most cases, there are many other assets available. If there are other military assets available for a mission, the risk is assessed and those assets are used (e.g., B1 bombers from the continental US). This means our carrier battlegroups are still fully armed with the weapons and assets needed to launch a far larger attack over a long period of time. The enemy knows this, and so will be far less likely to launch any counterattacks in the short-term and give away their positions. This also provides time to re-supply our carrier battle groups with all the weapons and supplies they need to continue to carry out any missions they may be tasked with, and for indefinite periods of time. Special forces are very likely on the ground, standing by to assist with any further attacks on enemy targets. The enemy has been attacking innocent global shipping and US and allied forces hundreds of times over the past months. They crossed a line when they wounded and killed US servicemen and women. They were warned repeatedly yet continued with their attacks. Now they will be destroyed, and every aggressive action they take will be interdicted. This means the shipping passages through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal will be far safer, as the gloves of the US and allied nations are off.

  10. Like I said, America doesn't have the b alls to strike Iran, so they go for the soft defenseless targets, just like a teenage bully who can't fight someone his own size.

  11. War Mongers—they put US troops in a vulnerable position so they have an excuse for more war—-if you say otherwise you either ignorant, spineless or just an effn liar—-uni party war mongers
