Dont think its pure conjecture for Lindsey Graham to say if they disrupt the outgoing oil supply from that region that their refineries might be targeted.

A population that cant buy gas gets kinda cranky.

When Iran's population was openly revolting Obama said "we can't interfere in another countries domestic affairs" and the the revolt was failed.

Cant see Trump being so hands off at this point.

Iran's governent has a tenuous hold on power right now, this could easily be the first move in destabilizing that government to the point of failure.

Tough position for Iran to be in.

I doubt the Iranians will do anything particularly bothersome.

Up until now, US retaliation has been either diplomatic, or shooting up a couple of camels with a cruse missile. Trump didn't do that. He attacked a person. Now, if you are in the business of pissing off the US, and all the US does in response is bluster or a few explosions in the desert, there's not much cost to creating mayhem to piss off the US. If, on the other hand, high ranking individuals get killed in response? Might think again about how you're going to "retaliate".

If I had a crystal ball, I would guess maybe some sort of small scale attacks on oil facilities / infrastructure (Saudi?), and / or using its proxies to engage in retaliatory assassination attempts, kidnappings, bombings of U.S. government facilities, and attacks on shipping and other privately-owned U.S. entities.

Your thoughts?


What we just witnessed was their retaliation. If it wasn't, then why was an Iran General in Iraq leading an attack on the American Embassy?

This is once again, pure tripe. I am willing to put up money betting we will not go to war with Iran (of course, we need to frame what the definition of "war" is). There is no way, now way, we are going to invade Iran and Iran doesn't have the muscle to invade Iraq, much less the US. This Salami guy has a LOT of American blood on his hands, was 15 minutes away from the embassy, planning a follow on to the tactical probe done the other day. We lost a drone, they captured our patrol boats and humiliated us, sponsored terrorism all over the place against us, and limp wristed people like RP want us to do nothing? GMAFB. At most, they'll do what they can, attacks here and there and we, like Regan did in 86 (I was there and it WAS fun!), take out a third of their Navy, hit their offshore refineries, etc, But a full blown war a-la-Iraq will NEVER HAPPEN. I'm willing to put up some cash. Are you or any other kookista? PM me.

So .. there are a couple of angles. Whether Iran, officially as a nation, retaliates is one. Whether some terrorist group, funded by Iran or not, retaliates is separate. I would be a bit surprised if the nation of Iran attempts retaliation because they are a fixed target, immobile, easy to hit. I would expect them to behave more rationally. A terrorist group imbedded within some population somewhere else retaliating / striking a blow to get even, in their perception, seems a lot more likely. I would be cautious traveling abroad or doing business abroad, but then, that is already true.

That scumbag was involved in the Iran hostage situation 30 years ago, wasn't he? If gutless, nutless Jimmy Carter had grown a set of balls and taken him and his buddies out back then, the entire history of the middle east would have been different, at least for a while. These azzole camel jockeys have been fighting over that pile of sand for 3,000 years.

I tend to agree with this. It's really hard to predict their behavior, but they have to be smart enough to know if they do something & significant, that DJT will hurt them pretty bad, maybe more individual targeting.

They really only understand serious object lessons & DJT just gave them a big one, next one would likely be similar.

Actually, if it was up to me, I find the next guy in line to replace Solemani, & take him out right now as well, just to reinforce the object lesson.

They will never just calm down & be a reasonable country to deal with.

You are correct, on them. We will disable their oil industry and never bust a cap!

The demised Muzzie shows up to collect his reward. But he gets b___ slapped by George Washington, then by Patrick Henry, George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, followed by a long line of fellow countrymen.

What’s this he asked in shock, where are my virgins? Virginians, you dummy, not virgins.

An old one, just needed repeating.

What evidence do you have to support these wild claims?

Why didn’t we take advantage of their attacks on Saudi oil refineries or on tankers? Or even the numerous IEDs supplied by Iran?

Doubt that’s the first time that idea has been floated around.
