    Speaking of Iran's nuclear program, it's down a top scientist now: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/27/top-iranian-nuclear-scientist-killed-iran-armed-forces Iran seem to be blaming Israel for it (truth be told chances are they actually were but hey).

    I'm aware. I wouldn't want them to get a nuke either because bluntly I don't see that shit ending well even in a best case scenario. I just don't think that in the hypothetical where they do get a nuke they'd try to pull a stunt like that one with the expectation of it working out well for them.

    Nukes aren't exactly the sort of thing you can just casually "lose". Add that there's no one else in the vicinity who could have lost said nuke it'd be pretty clear who gave said group a nuke. They'd be fools to think it'd trick anyone let alone the people they just nuked.

    If I hadn't checked his surname online to be sure I would have sworn that they'd somehow messed up his surname because that is too silly to be real. Unfortunately we seem to live in a comedy and so now the US navy is being threatened by a type of Italian sausage.

    So who's betting the Iranians may have accidentally shot the plane down? There's footage of the plane going down in the tweet that follows this, it seems to have been on fire.

    Define ramp down. Because I highly doubt Iran is going to get to walk away without seeing some form of retaliation for pulling a stunt like this.

    I'm not sure he particularly had a choice in the matter, he'd let Iran get away with a lot of stuff before finally acting when they attacked an embassy via proxies.

    I'm pretty sure that one died the minute Iran didn't even try to hide behind proxies but just chucked missiles and tried to threaten everyone who had US bases in them along with Isreal.

    The donald has a megathread with links to news about the current events. Apparently the Iranian airforce is being scrambled and they're threatening to have Hezbollah attack Isreal if the US retaliates.
