Iran coordinated the ‘retaliation’ with Qatari officials, to let Iran save face while ensuring no casualties. It’s back channel diplomacy with missiles but still better than no diplomacy at all. Now the US needs to pause and be an adult. And it’s the adult part that worries me… - ThreadSky

Part of me wishes the Iranians would blow up the gift 747, but that would probably make his orangeness even madder.

Not sure that plane is even in Qatar right now.

It would be a shame if it was.

Closing Qatari and UAE airspace, and moving aircraft from the US airbase is kind of a clue this wasn’t a surprise. So the US needs to act accordingly. Again, like an adult. And again, it’s the adult part the US struggles with. Cuz we elect angry children. We shall see

Praying that those surrounding the occupant in the WH understand this & influence his decisions.

Is it possible that potus/cic unilaterally ordered the Iran bombing because he was enraged by the taco taunts, a world-weary old cynic might wonder.

Thank you for clarifying, made me feel better because in these 'nuclear times' it just takes one juvenile thought processing individual 🤡with power to bring armageddon upon us all. Ergo, I'm sure it is fine!!
