Iran Super Thread- Merged

[brihard]

I don't see why it would be "bullshit".

If you are the government of country at war (say Iran, for instance ), why on earth would agree to a "request" by the other side to let them bomb a part of your country (any part, regardless of use) as a "one-off, non-retaliated" strike?

The opposite - agreeing to such a strike - would be the position that would strike (pun intended) me as odd.

I believe it’s bullshit that the U.S. asked for such a symbolic strike. It would be absurd to think Iran would agree, and embarrassing to have revealed if true.

With a rational government in place, I would agree.

But we are currently "living in interesting times".

I lean towards BS...

But I can also entertain the chance that the US actually did ask Iran so they could safely fly a C-130 into Iran to symbolically drop a GBU-43/B on pickaxe.
