(Washington) After the US took out Iranian general Soleimani last year, the Iranians retaliated with a so called one off missile strike on a US base. At the time, it was hinted that the Iranians in an effort to curb dissent at home informed the US of where they were going to strike so as to end the discussion, this saw the US evacuate 51 aircraft from the base prior to the missile strike and around 1000 men.
However information revealed by the US military to 60 mins , states that actually that US intelligence had picked up advance warning that the Iranians were going to strike and that the downloading of satellite maps of a paid website of the target area gave the US the exact target (why they would reveal this info is beyond me) anyway the Iranians lobbed 16 missiles at Al-Asad, with 5 failing to take off, they also lobbed 2 at Erbil in the north of Iraq, but one missed by 20 miles and the other was said to have been shot down resulting in the warhead failing to detonate. Anyway the US military have released drone video of the first six strikes as viewed from the air, and for some strange reason allowed the US news program to air that video along with interviews with the the soldiers present. The strange thing I cannot understand here is if the Iranians had killed 100s of US soldiers, a lot of Iran would still be smoking today, and the mullahs know that, because despite its so called military might, Iran actually isnt that powerful, yes it can lob missiles, and carry out asymmetrical attacks, but a mighty military power it isn't . Which begs me to ask the question why has the US government decided to allow the military to publicly discuss the subject at hand? The 60 minutes
interview:
Meanwhile the Biden administration cant jump through enough hoops in which to try and engineer a meeting with the Iranians in which to try and get them to return to the nuclear deal, which Trump pulled out of due to many instances of Tehran breaking it. In return the Iranians are going about upping the ante with all the neighbours simply in which to garner as many concessions from Biden as possible,
