'The strikes near Abu Kamal in Syria are a small signal that the Biden administration is not gun-shy, and that attacks on US personnel have consequences. But they were about as minimally lethal as they could be.' Analysis by npwcnn

In the protracted effort to see who will blink first between Tehran and the Biden administration, Thursday's strikes on Iranian-backed militia in Syria are but a tiny insect floating into both their gazes. It's not going to change much, but is a reminder they may need to close their eyes eventually.

Both US President Joe Biden and Iran's leadership would prefer a world with a revived Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action -- the formal name for the Iran nuclear deal -- than one without. It's just getting there that is proving hard. The direction of travel is obvious, but the traffic lights are flickering red, and bomb craters have now been placed in the way.

npwcnn Did people die?

npwcnn Not a single Democrat can talk about this without bringing up Trump 🤣🤣🤣🤣

npwcnn Dems embrace violence and wars.

npwcnn ...hahaha, CNN is to the Democrats what Fox News is to the Republicans, what a farce. Warmongers deluxe, can't get away from that.

npwcnn

npwcnn It was a mostly peaceful bombing.

npwcnn 'Mr. President, millions of civilians have died in the countries where the we has intervened.' Any US President: 'NOT ENOUGH!!!'

npwcnn And just like that, CNN can finally go back to praising war.

npwcnn

npwcnn Weak, ineffective

npwcnn This is some weird war peddling going on here . This country is back to bombing the Middle East. And the weirder thing is that anti-trump pro war people on here. War is bad under any administration.

npwcnn CNN, the press branch of the DNC doing the heavy lifting again. The REAL MVP

npwcnn Two things democrats love, fucking over the middle class, and bombing Syria

npwcnn 😂😂😂 Journalism is dead and buried...

npwcnn Crazy to think 2 old men are playing with ALL of our lives !

npwcnn A message to Iran by attacking Syria! 🙄 They've got the message but I just don't think it's exactly what it intended! 🙄

npwcnn Natural_OneDurr

npwcnn Trump in 4 years didn't start war with any country and tried to resolve issues thru a diplomatic way, and went further when he met the president of NK. Biden seems preferring a different approach.

npwcnn Lol.

npwcnn Democrats love making money with war games

npwcnn 'minimally lethal' is another example of newspeak from George Orwell's 1984

npwcnn Lol CNN doing everything they can to praise Biden over a strike, just months ago they were crucifying the Trump Administration for doing the same.

npwcnn It’s nice to have a president who doesn’t take the enemy’s side.

npwcnn l think Iran will silently shock the world.Time is ticking away

npwcnn George Carlin would have had a field day with 'minimally lethal'.

npwcnn The message was clear! Respect or retaliation, your choice! We have more guns than you have!
