Word War Three Update Update


I see reports that Iran actually warned the US in advance of their missile strikes yesterday, so that the Americans could get all their personnel out of harm’s way. After the strike, they announced that they had finished their “retaliation,” and would not do anything more so long as the Americans didn’t respond.

In other words, purely symbolic, to save face.

In the meantime, it looks as though the Iranians were so panicky about a new American attack that they mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian commercial airliner in Tehran, no doubt imagining it was an incoming bomber.
