UK foreign secretary condemns "reckless and dangerous attacks"

Dominic Raab has said in a statement: "We condemn this attack on Iraqi military bases hosting Coalition - including British - forces.

"We are concerned by reports of casualties and use of ballistic missiles.

"We urge Iran not to repeat these reckless and dangerous attacks, and instead to pursue urgent de-escalation.

"A war in the Middle East would only benefit Daesh and other terrorist groups."

The Ukrainian embassy to Iran has said that preliminary information suggests engine failure caused the crash of a Ukrainian airliner in Iran, rather than a missile attack or act of terrorism. Reuters reports that the embassy also said in a statement that 168 people had bought tickets for the flight.

all that blood from this base attack now on Trump's hands, poor US army

this was just a revenge action for their fallen leader, nothing more and nothing less, but it could go to war if the US retaliates and that is also something what Iran either doesn't want

and this attack on an airbase in Iraq a week or so ago in which a USA citizen died by Iran was for what reason?

Given the significance of General Soleimani and the passions that his killing aroused - Iran's military strike against US bases in Iraq was a modest response.

The attack was clearly timed to cause as few casualties as possible. Both the US and Iran - for all their rhetoric - do not want a wider conflict. So maybe a line can be drawn under this matter for now.

*If* US casualties are zero or minimal and *if* it does lead to a de-escalation quickly, then I'm personally calling BS on the entire thing as co-ordinated PR pantomime. Military false-flagging for civilian catharsis.

I was wondering last night if this wasn't all a ruse to get some level of US investment in Iran's weapon program now that they've withdrawn somewhat from the JCPOA. Both sides using the public's contempt of the enemy nation as a smokescreen for their actual business.

It's already been stated that the strike was heavy on symbolism, happening at the exact time the US attacked. There could really be no hope a revenge attack wouldn't materialise , but as attacks go this appears relatively minor thankfully.
I hope that tensions can begin to de escalate now.

President Trump was Live at the White House
he took no questions
His Generals standing behind him.

He informed Iran to Stop its Nuclear program.


[16:29
Trump: Nations have tolerated Iran's behaviour, those days are over]
[16:28
Trump: Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon as long as I am president]
[16:32
Trump: Sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behaviour ]

Trump is the reason they started up their nuclear program up again after Obama negotiated them stopping.
