If launched from Iranian territory there is a pretty clear case for the US to go to war.
I know the “WW3” meme is popular right now but Iran is only a regional power and would likely lose a conventional war quickly against the US (matter of days or weeks).

If the article is correct, they were not only launched from Iran, but Iran admits it.
This is going to get very interesting in terms of internal US politics. The Democrats don't trust Trump, including in terms of his motives and judgment in dealing with Iran. They also, in general, oppose war. They're trying to use the War Powers Act to reign him in. But if they do so, and prevent a response to this latest attack, that could cost a number of them dearly in the next election - especially since Iran is not likely to stop at firing a few missiles at two US bases.

#5I've seen estimates on the amount of US soldiers dead ranging from 0 to 180 while this article doesn't mention any deaths. It's crazy how large of a fluctuation there is, it's so hard to know what news sources are valid.

Maybe US should just leave the region where it isn't welcome. Also, if this were to turn into a conventional war, I predict the US would suffer massive losses, unless they resort to using tactical nukes. The US hasn't been on the winning side of a war since WW2.

You are insane - Afghanistan is going on 19? years now and Iraq is no better.
If there were any american casualties this is going to get really bad really fast. Idk about WW3 but this is going to make Iraq/Afghanistan look like tea time at the park.

Are you serious right now? Iraq war started in 2003 and hasn't ended. What makes you think matter of days or weeks or the timeline?

For it to be WW3 Iran would need to get absolutely destroyed to where China would then come in to defend them, and then US allies would also need to get involved and so on. I'm no expert at foreign affairs, but I just don't see that happening.

Neocons are in both parties and have influenced both Bush and Obama to “architect” the ME. These are globalists who want to accelerate their global political vision ("democratize" everyone and we’ll all get along). [so they can make their money]
