Possible. If so this Iran “excursion” will go down in history as Trump’s Folly.

Great news a blessing for the holiday

[bachophile]

everyone here extremely relieved.

[jon-nyc]

They’ll be making a movie out of this.

Found via the CIA’s “unique capabilities”

Great news indeed, an impressive military action.

Though losing two helicopters and another plane in the process implies/proves that low level flight over Iran is a high risk, presumably from shoulder launched missiles?

Detailed timeline

Truth social just now

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

He forgot to wish them a happy Easter

Just spitballing and riffing channeling his inner Joe Pesci mobster character.

Nor do I but I suspect Trump has convinced himself that by doing so he will win the Iranian people’s hearts and minds so they go into streets and rid him and his ego of the ungrateful and uncooperative Islamic theocracy.
