Reports of fire at US base after Iran-backed militia retaliates
An Iran-backed militia has reportedly retaliated against US strikes by attacking two American bases in northeast Syria, says international correspondent John Sparks.
There are reports of a fire at one of those bases, he adds.
"Retaliations seem to have started, that's one of the big questions - where does this go?
"What are the consequences? That's the big question tonight."
He added: "Clearly, we are at the beginning of a dangerous new phase in this conflict"

Multiple civilians deaths including women and children.

This will go down in history quickly as an extremely bad decison.

Conducting simultaneous strikes at different sites with precision guided weapons is not "carpet bombing".
Quite the opposite, actually.

Supposedly Jordanian F-16s participated, major props Jordan but..... damn the key here is how will Iran respond and if other Middle Eastern countries join them. I'd imagine the US wouldn't move without some knowledge of how the rest of the Middle East will respond.

I doubt Iran gives a #. They were given a week's advanced notice to move their most important people and assets out of harm's way. Everyone knows this is just face-saving by Biden so he can say he did something bigger than his little pinprick "attacks" he's ordered up til now. It's carefully designed to avoid seriously hurting Iran, just like our sanctions for the Ukraine war were carefully designed to avoid seriously hurting Putin.

This won't deter Iran. I hope I'm wrong.

This whole 5-day build-up to this has bugged me too, absolutely telegraphed every move so far.
Why is our priority protecting Iran instead of protecting our troops?

And that question has been answered via the Iranian spies in the White House and 6 billion or so dollars.

Well, you don't, obviously. What targets do you know they are striking to prove these "lies"?
Whose side are you on?
