US strikes Iran, IRGC, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Strait of Hormuz, attack helicopter, proportional and limited, Ali Al Salem Air Base, drone boat rescue
So they lost a helicopter and then just started nuking targets? Sounds like escalation for no reason.
I don’t get why Jordan is getting hit too like?? If it’s “proportional” then why are they talking about 20 targets already. This is going to spiral fast.
Wait isn’t this like the same thing from earlier where they said it was a “limited” strike but then it never stays limited. Also Reuters can’t verify the video? So we’re just taking their word that Tehran did it? Makes me think it’s all pre-planned.
Helicopter gets shot down and suddenly everybody’s acting like it’s WW3. My cousin said Iran only retaliated because of some tech failure, but idk. Either way I’m tired of hearing IRGC like it’s some football team scoring goals. Praying nobody else’s kid gets involved.
