It was still hours away from Tuesday in the USA but I guess it was TACO Tuesday in the middle east...

Escalating the incredibly-unpopular war in Iran right before the midterms is an interesting strategy. Maybe it’ll get buried in the other headlines. Maybe not.

The Associated Press news agency also cited a US official as saying the US had conducted defensive strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz. The official said that “Iranians using surface-to-air missiles against US assets” had been targeted.
here's a thought, don't attack other nations and you don't have to worry about your planes getting shot down.
Couldn't even wait until after the midterms sigh

Jeez, dumbfuck didn’t even wait until after the election.
The audacity to call this "defensive strikes" won't make the action more palatable to the US populace. I wonder what Trump was promised for this escalation.
