U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces launched self-defense strikes against the Islamic state at 5:00 p.m. ET today at the direction of our Commander in Chief, President Donald Trump. This comes in response to a downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter yesterday.
The mission is stupidly proportional to this unjustified aggression. I say stupidly because when someone hits you in the nose, you don't just hit him in the nose in retaliation--you beat the crap out of him.
There were two servicemen in that helicopter that were rescued at sea and are doing fine.
CENTCOM described the strikes as defensive and would be proportional, as I stated.
There have been several explosions in the port city of Sirik and nearby areas of Hormozgan Province like Kuhestak and Minab, as Iranina media noted blasts in the area.
Sirik is a small, strategically located port town on Iran's southern coast in the Strait of Hormuz region.
Some reports also reference military activity near Bandar Abbas, a major Iranian naval port.
There are reports of many KC-135s flying over the Middle East as I write this, indicating a likely scenario where fighter aircraft are ready to go.
More details to follow.
What ceasefire?
