The United States on Friday announced the deployment of 1,500 troops to the Middle East, describing it as an effort to bolster defences against Iran as it accused the country’s Revolutionary Guards of direct responsibility for this month’s tanker attacks.

just do it

Zionist oligarchs want to use their American puppets against another Middle Eastern country. But this time this country is armed to the theet.

Did Baghdad Bob relocate?

Iran would crumble faster than Iraq. Real problem is dealing with aftermath. Too much mess to clean up and responsibility of policing a place while crazies jostle for power. Just another nightmare we could do without. Sadly.. peace is often dependent on willingness to go to war.

😯😯😯😯

This is a scare tactic. Can they sink it yes, will they no because we would turn that country into glass!

While realDonaldTrump goes on vacation to Japan.... lmao

Bullshit! Name your sources!!!

Oh boy here we go again 🙄

wretchardthecat 'Tis But A Scratch'

I don’t think this is something the US Navy wants to discount or take lightly. What ever happens in the Gulf will surely be noted by the PRC-Taiwan straights or the China Sea. Air to ship missile (exorcist)- HMS Sheffield’s and the USS Stark

Wonder if he is referring to Irans super secret speed boats loaded that make up the majority of their navy......

Let me guess?

Iran is full of Russian arms - America can’t fund stand an actual war w.o help from the ass kissers. I think China and Russia can’t wait for American make its first move. 😂

Geez I hope they do if provoked.

Oh God they are going to sneak up at night drill a hole in the side

Yup, just as they said about Iraq 16 years ago.

I bet they cannot.

I guess with the surplus oil that it cannot sell to India after May 30. All warships slip, sliding in Gulf of Hormuz!

They’re bluffing, but yes, it’s fair to assume Iran has munitions that could, in theory, be used against US forces. They don’t have anything we don’t know about, and neither do the Russians, Chinese, or North Koreans.

Doesn't sound like they're secret

Fake news

“Secret weapons” hhhhhhhh What a foolish report

They can definitely 😓

Iran will fart in your general direction

Whoever said this should be in the brig. Who ever reported this, needs to defect to IRAN.

Trump is that secret weapon, HE'S BEEN SINGING 'Now I shout it from the highest hills Even told the golden daffodils At last my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret anymore'

I am sure the military is on top of this...but thanks for fear mongering.

Power of the mind? 🤫😂

Lol so much for secret

FFS!!! Does anyone believe this horse shit.

A larger ambition for mankind , in my view is to reconcile Israel, Iran and Saudi Arabia and release the mammoth developmental energy captured within this triangle. Will Donald Trump aspire to this endeavor?

There will be no such war cuz both sides are afraid of its huge costs and unknown outcomes. I guess the main purpose of such threats by US are just to sell more arms to Middle East

I bet it isn't a bigger secret than you - know - who's tax returns

Clickbait title. You guys should clarify that an Iranian Military official said this, not a U.S. Military official. In this case, it makes a big difference. Disappointing to see Reuters use clickbait tactics.

Generals gather in their masses, just like witches at black masses, evil minds that plot destruction, sorcerer of deaths construction, in the fields the bodies burning, as the war machine keeps turning, death and hatred to mankind, poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yah!!

If they did that then they wouldn't be secret any more

there isn't any war that's gona happen there

The U.S government has no right to threaten Iran and this is under Trump's leadership who lifted the Nuclear Deal.

More lies to start another immoral war. How many US service members will die for Trumps lies?

you want war so bad iranian people who keep this nation 40 years stable going to fight you with all they got before dealing with fanatic muslims

Shhh don’t tell anyone they said 😎🤪😂

Iran can disapear in 2 days...if Trump want...

Annecim cok secret😂 (My mommy this is top secret)

so secret that an explanation to why the US should go to war is not longer needed...

Threats everywhere, what do you needs Mr.Trump? Popularity so your name is written across history like Genghis Khan, Alexander the great, Napoleon? Or Hitler?

The headlines should read US ON WAY TO JOIN ALLIES TO DEFEAT IRAN SHOULD THEY ATTACK US AND ALLIES.

Back in the day American journalists headlines were not defeating of USA. US MEDIA AND LEAKING DEMOCRATS ARE ENEMIES OF USA TROOPS AND AMERICANS

Bla bla bla

lol.

I’d like to seem them dare and try. Let’s see how that ends up for them. Talk is cheap.

How about reporting what one shot from the USA would do to Iran

While there is no way of verifying Iranian military capabilities one thing known: There are many young brainy people at work against U.S military. Brains no longer limited to Western world. Just visit Silicon Valley!

😀😀😀

They sure can if the US let them. Any US attack on Iran would have to include total shock and awe, well beyond just military targets, disrupting and destroying infrastructure, electricity, transport networks, communications, etc.

They’re going to launch sexual harassment complaints against our troops, rendering them useless for a period of time, those clever bastards.

Rev. Guards utter all sorts of nonsense on a daily basis. It’s meant for internal consumption. In reality, leader has them on a leash and he doesn’t want a war. Reuters has been extremely hostile to Iran since they got kicked out for calling Iranian ninjitsu athletes, assassins!

Oh come on! Is this a joke or what?

What with their B.O.

These all episodes are reminding me an old story of a wolf and the lamb. I don't know when America has to do something why he needs lame reasons to prove it right. Everyone on Earth know that America is playing as a Jewish poodle, so there is no wonder

Russia's newest ones have made it to Iran, it would seem

...what are the USA doing there, abusing individuals and taxpayers` money for Trump`s ego threatening planet earth BBC 'Iran nuclear deal: Trump pulls US out in break with Europe allies' Trump sends 1,500 troops to counter Iran and pushes through £6bn arms sale to Arab allies

Like the secret weapons of mass destruction Iraq was going to use to conquer the world?

Martians attacking..

The US will sink all the IRANIAN ships, they will go to the bottom of the sea. 20 t0 30 years laters it will become a tourists attraction for divers to see the sinking ships wrackages at the bottom of the sea.

“Secret weapon” I’ve told you a million times! Praying to Imam Hussein’s shrine doesn’t work! 😂😂😂😂

Oh whatever, this is a joke

Wait they are smarter than us? What have we been spending $700 billion on each year?

No, don't tell me.....Sharks with frikkin lasers!

Iran’s secret weapon.

Reuters is war drumming... Again..

America can sink the entire country with not so secret weapons fuck around and find out

🤭

They’ve obtained them from Russia and itching to demonstrate to the world. And in the other hand the Russians can also gauge them by analyzing the successful damage they can do or improve them after Iran pays with their lives. Ginny 🐷 pigs is the term.

😂👍👍

It would be interesting to see Iran's claim.

They claim a lot. You do not take seriously ...

Well that's one way to light the touch paper. Hope their not playing with matches as well.

What? Bad words and origami folded pages of the Koran into shapes of missiles? What a joke...

😂

even if what then?

As secret as the WMDs in Iraq? Those were so secret we are still looking for them.

Wtf is us warships doing in the middle east? If US brought its army to the middle east, it means U.S. is ready to sacrifice anything. They should get their army back to the America. Or dont cry.

Suicide bombers can run on water now?

Not another War, please! The world has lost enough in terms of people and peace. Iran, America Trump

If Iran has a secret weapon, USA funded it thanks to Obama, Kerry Brennan Jarrett etc, the previous Administration...

Send Bolton and Pompeo first followed by Trump and his kids.

It would be a fart of suprem guide 🙄

Secret weapons ? Sausages and couscous ?

Military official says lie

Highly unlikely!!!

How about tomahawk cruise missles?

And this is related to Putin's 'secret missiles?' You know, this garbage gets really tiring.

Can we not. We don't need another war.

Now see that would b world war three folks? U think trump isn’t trigger happy? He’d nuke Tehran ! Then Russian interference would mean we’d b at war with Russia . Thanks trump

So....show us , at least once aye....

genies and magic woooooo!!!!

Oh, here we go again.

More like a secret the propaganda.

The same Iran that Obama air dropped pallets of cash to, at night, under the cover of darkness?! 🙄🙄🙄🤦‍♂️ Obama4Prison

'senior Iranian military official was quoted as saying' BaghdadBob

Well stop threatening them and I’m sure they won’t 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬🕊

Right out of Reagan’s playbook.

Iran = Irak mass destruction fairy tale
