Totally unjustified, what did our drones ever do to them?...😬
They better cut that shit out before we try and get "proportional" with them again.
More than half of Iran is too young to remember Operation Praying Mantis, or wasn't even born yet. They may underestimate America's willingness to respond forcefully to acts of aggression against us.
Quit shitting on the young Irani population. Exactly THOSE people hate their religious dictatorship. You should rather support them.
I'm not shitting on anyone, I'm simply stating facts. It is a possible explanation for the idiotic moves the Iranian military has been making as of late: Lack of experience.
Lack of experience
You are mixing up correlation with causation.

I've made no definitive statements, only conjecture. I'm really not sure what argument you're trying to make.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
An unmanned US military drone was shot down off the coast of Yemen by Houthi forces, a defense official told CNN.
The ship shot down four cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of nine hours, CNN previously reported, and their trajectory left little doubt that the projectiles were headed for Israel.
A senior defense official called Iran “the center of gravity” for the attacks on US forces in the region, saying that “Iranian fingerprints are all over this.”
The US retaliated against the groups on October 26, launching airstrikes in Syria targeting infrastructure used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxies.
CNN has reported that Iran is seeking to capitalize on the backlash to US support for Israel, and while Tehran may not be explicitly directing the groups’ attacks, it does appear to be encouraging them.
Following last month’s retaliatory strikes in Syria, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a strong warning to Tehran.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
