The US military took action against Iran, wantonly bombing 85 targets indiscriminately, and Tehran gave a death order to endure
According to a number of reports, the US military command recently announced that it had carried out large-scale air strikes on seven military bases in the Middle East. U.S. bombers and fighter jets dropped more than 125 precision munitions on at least 85 Iranian targets in retaliation for an attack on the U.S. military base at Tower 22, which resulted in dozens of U.S. troops.
The U.S. military said the attack targeted Iraq and Syria and was primarily aimed at "Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and pro-Iranian militia targets." They claimed that the airstrikes destroyed a large number of military installations, including missiles, rockets, and drones, as well as ammunition depots and command and intelligence centers.
Interestingly, the U.S. military dispatched B-1 bombers to carry out a "transatlantic air strike" from the United States to the Middle East, and received technical support such as in-flight refueling on the way. This kind of action seems redundant, but it is actually a show of strength, because this type of bomber has the ability to carry nuclear bombs and launch long-range ** from the mainland, which is a threatening gesture.
However, despite the sheer scale of the U.S. airstrikes, they avoided direct strikes against Iran and limited themselves to targets in Syria and Iraq. Since Biden has been calling for "revenge" and Iran is also prepared, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei has issued a directive for all parties in Iran to exercise restraint and avoid a head-on conflict with the US military.
The U.S. airstrikes caused discontent in Iraq, accusing the U.S. of violating sovereignty, a position supported by the Houthis. However, it was reported that the U.S. military had informed Iraq of its plans in advance of the airstrikes, which may have also led to Iran being informed of the U.S. military's plan of action ahead of schedule, similar to the previous scenario in the Soleimani incident.
Apparently, there is some kind of consensus between the United States and Iran, and both Washington and Tehran are trying to avoid the outbreak of a direct conflict. The White House has long designated Iraqi militias as "attackers" and stressed that it "does not want to go to war with Iran." The United States even revealed the air strike plan to ** in advance, saying that it expects the operation to "last several days" and that the plan of action will be decided depending on the weather conditions.
The United States is well aware of the possible consequences of a direct strike on Iran. Despite Iran's willingness to avoid war, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and military are firm, with Revolutionary Guard Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami publicly warning the United States that any threat will be answered. Iran is a powerful missile force capable of directly deterring U.S. military positions in the Middle East and can launch strikes against Israel.
In addition to this, Iran has many allies in the Middle East, such as the Houthis and Iraqi militias, which are its supporters. In the event of a military conflict, the Middle East will be plunged into chaos, so the United States does not want the situation to escalate, and can only reduce tensions through symbolic actions.
