Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:this poo poo tends to happen when you declare war I mean war or not I think I expected them to do something with a bit of plausible deniability instead of "Here's a video of us shooting missiles at your face lol". Like the US just basically got themselves kicked out of Iraq which is what Iran wanted anyway this seems kind of dangerously stupid on their part.

There's images of Patriot missiles in Israel shooting down mortars launched from Palestine, they can definitely hit unguided projectiles.

The base they hit is formally an Iraqi base that hosts US troops so it leaves open the most thematically appropriate outcome to a US-Iran confrontation, which is that a bunch of Iraqis get killed for no good reason.
