Not gonna be a War just a lot of powerful Cruise Missiles 🚀 Kickin a lot of Iranian A🐎🐎🔥🔥🔥Boom MicDrop

Well, that is why we use drones.

Iranian airspace.

Obama gave them the money to buy that missile.

I see the Japanese oil tanker BS didn’t work so let’s try this!

Bullshit

Lol, take out their bullshit Navy. Open up the straight, this was nothing less than an attack. No need for war, just show them why we don’t attack civilian ships or just shoot missiles at things in international airspace. The world is on our side with this, oddly enough 1/2

Here we go. More lies to get us to go to war with Iran for no reason. How many more people have to die before everyone learns? Truly sickening!

Let’s go to war; send our best - risk their lives because they shot down a machine

What do you think Iran considers our sanctions to be? An unprovoked attack? Or a day at the beach?

NoWarWithIran

Im calling bullsht!!! America’s thirst for war with Iran under the current administration is appalling. Why don’t you focus on actually confirmed facts from the international intel community and place sanctions on Saudi Arabia and MBS for the clear murder of Jamal khashoggi?🖕

Too bad this administration has 0 credibility! This is what happens when you lie to the American people over 10k times!

Let’s bomb this pieces of shit

Carpet bomb with MOABs will take care of Arab.

Until the drone has been retrieved we should not jump to conclusions as to who shot it down. Proof is needed by we act.

The strait of Hormuz is managed by the Iranians. International airspace is a stretch.

here we go... TrumpFascism's diversionary war ... unfortunately, because of TrumpFascism America can no longer negotiate from a position of strength.

Tell US officials America says, don't you dare.

They broke our toy! 🥴

Even if we take 'US officials' at their word --- an unwise decision, given their long difficulty with truthfulness --- this is a small property dispute, not a casus belli; an argument for a lawsuit, not a war. Democrats

No war

Thanks, tRump for causing this reaction..

Would this have happened with a manned jet?

Any excuse to retaliate

Warriors are burden with actions. Scholars are burden by choice. Use our courage with love for we are all burden with remembrance.

Sorry anonymous US official but this is not a justifiable basis for war, and no the US public does NOT support attacking Iran. If MBS wants one so bad he can go invade Iran personally with his BoneSaw and we'll see how it goes. This BS is not worth ONE American life.

Who the f*** do you think we are anyways? lol! Fake news.

They are going throw shit on the wall until something sticks, we are not buying what you vomit bags in the trump administration are trying to sell.

God bless US. and Israel.

Anther pearl harbour?

US military drone shot down by Iranian missile in international airspace, US official saysAn Iranian surface-to-air missile shot down a U.S. military drone in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official told NBC News Thursday morning. Straight of Hormuz is a long way from the continental U.S no? Why are the Americans flying anything there? Would they allow an Iranian drone off the coast of Florida? JustSaying Iran Then blow up something of theirs. Yeah I call bullshit. There's no way regular people can verify the truth of this or any other story. You guys are beating the war drums and trying to create precedent by whipping up public sentiment. Insidious. Geopolitics is so ugly, especially the mass misinformation campaigns.

Iran's shooting down of U.S. drone is a 'clear message' to Washington, Revolutionary Guard commander saysAmerican officials confirmed that a U.S. Navy MQ-4C Triton drone was destroyed by Iranian forces while flying over the Strait of Hormuz. It's a clear sign we need to be more diligent with our drones. NoWarInIran Iranians are Bold I'm betting that US drone was deliberately sent to region where US knew full well that it would be shot down by Iran. This act would be like N Korea sending a drone in US over NYC. These kind of stories don't bolster US case vs. Iran.
