About time t recognize it Iran ardent enemy

IRAN IS NOT THE PROBLEM

Lets be clear about this, trump is doing what Russia, Israel, Turkey and Syria want. Any other questions ?

munucwsj Is this appropriate for public knowledge or social media consumption? Are we no longer respecting military intelligence?

Just new game good luck

So they asked as they should have, got the responses and answers, and agreed not to pursue. Seems like logical steps. Or would WSJ and CNN have preferred a different outcome to sensationalize? When the embassy was attacked, all options need to be discussed. Duh.

When you got to you got to!

Who didn't know that trump wanted to start a war ? He wanted to get his poll numbers up, spend mega money so his friends could get government contracts, please putin and get off the hook with him, get his base pumped up for election 2020, retire and build a tower in Russia .

Know_More_News in 1997 we had a policy coup on our U.S. Foreign Policy. A criminal cabal operated under a Think Tank called 'Project for a New America Century' (PNAC) $5 Trillion fighting wars with countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 FireBoltonNow before he starts WWIII

As opposed to Obama's plan to send billions in various currencies...

It’s like nobody here has ever heard of a contingency plan. This isn’t really news.

Perhaps, not only Iran on the list, others like russia, china as well.

“Border Patrol agents apprehended 27,518 members of family units in December, the highest monthly total on record. That figure has steadily been climbing now for five months,” writes USA Today.

Nice. Bomb the whole country. Thorn in everyone's sides

That's not news. Their job is to come up with scenarios and be prepared. Clown news would prefer they be taken by surprise?

Fake mews

Fuckin CNN warning our enemies

Is this one of those rumors of war? If and when many speak to Satan, which one of his angels would you ask him to take?

Probably should not be made public but then think about what news agency post it

Military attack against Iran?!!! US military is weaker than attacking Iran. Iran is like a asleep lion, don't try to awake him. You will be regretful. If you start, then Iran will be the finisher.

Not crazy as y'all think. Donald Tramp will use a confrontation with a hostile to divert attention from what's really going on. Muller & Russia. Keep ya eyes on the ball.

You should always be prepared for worst case scenario but the real question is why would you put this out there ? Why are you informing Iran with this reporting ? Which country are you working for ? CNN is not making the country safe at all and in plain sight absolutely terrible

AMEN. I remember going thru World War ll. I know so many do not know how HORRIBLE it is. I pray I never go thru it again

As an Iranian I support any action tend to overthrow Mullas

As a combat vet,I'd be damned worried if we Didn't have contingency plans for every known enemy ,and unforseen ones. Many countries love us,many more others hate us. BE PREPARED!

Das Kinder-u. Kleinstkinder-Kopftuch sexualisiert kleine Mädchen und bahnt der Kinderehe in unserer Gesellschaft ihren Weg. Dass Frauenrechtler, Kirchen, Buntmenschen, SPD u Grüne hier zu Toleranz aufrufen, scheint paradox. Lässt aber nur einen Schluss zu: Genau ihr Ziel!

What didn't happen why bother. The current shutdown is a matter of concern.

I hope the government wanted this leaked...otherwise it’s not good to leak such info.

American politicians lov war must receive big bribes from weapons manufacturers

710KURV I'm shocked! You mean the Pentagon was devising plans to attack potential enemies? And CNN wonders why people call them FakeNews

We should plan on attacking everyone. Have a plan to attack every country. That would be due diligence. Otherwise, its a plan to attack 1 country. We are the world's terrorists.

They r ready if y got balls go ; y people abondoned vitnam aboo doned kuweit abandoned syria; now y want to go to iran Ha !

I guess the attack against Iran will not be a 'Surprise' attack!

Wow The reporting of this and whomever leaked it is an act of treason. You will do whatever you can to bring this president down even if it hurts the country.

The Pentagon probably has a rough plan to invade Canada. Big deal this is what they do.

Sounds like their doing their job

Such a huge distraction would have made the Wall a none issue today. Thanks God it didn't work.

Consequences of a little demented BOYman playing with his toys,, cars, trucks, and army-men in his sandbox.

Uh, the Pentagon, and Joint Chiefs of Staff, have had an operational plan to react, or attack, to every country on the planet. They've had one since the 40s...so, whoopdeedoo...

Why would you like Military strategy ? Why don’t you move your headquarters from Atlanta to Tehran ?

And?

Why are we hearing this? Some things especially military readiness should stay out of the public until its need to know.

More leaks

Leave it to CNN to stir up crap!

WhiteHouse DesculpaAí! Se usar a Inteligência para modificar, luta física não será necessária. Agradecimentoss...!♥

Probably have plans to attack any where in the world if necessary. I’d be worried if we did not plan for all possible actions

Now if Iran asked their security council for plans to launch a military attack against the USA a couple of days ago, that would be news. This is garbage CNN. Twitter should ban you for this.

About time this came out truth

So no named sources? Are you fear mongering there CNN

PROSECUTE the Leakers!

Pretty routine to have military plans drawn up for endless number of scenarios. Really means nothing.

Why?

The pelosi mouth thing in response to Trump speech has been solved. She made these movements to remove gum stuck to her teeth. It was hard work and that also explains the weird facial expressions.

Breaking news? Maybe a year ago.

So?

Could realDonaldTrump really be that stupid? Yes. WorstPresidentandVPinHistory

Democrats preparing Ford mk 2 for Barr hearings. They have done it since justice Thomas. I wonder how much this one will remember of the 'incidents?'

Another USA blunder that will have resulted in to a never ending war . Thank God It never happened.

CNN has now become a national security threat.

And yet no reason provided as to WHY anyone needs to strike Iran. Other than the fact the US has planned to do so for decades along with other places they've already crossed off on the 'to invade' list

I love America but I hope Iran has something that can reach the white house and all of trump properties around the world, Iran would be doing Americans and the world favour

The Pentagon has a plan to attack everybody. It's their job.

OMG...this is ancient history..

WWIII in the forecast If realDonaldTrump AgentOrange stay in the WhiteHouse

Know_More_News Israel first! America last! We need more wars for Israel! More chaos, more mass immigration, more race mixing, more moral degeneracy and more fiat debt based currencies! Don’t build a wall! Leave everything wide open and put all dual Israeli citizens in key government positions!

This is a president who claimed Hillary would take us to war.

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE 2002

FakeNewsCNN the military always has these plans that is how they stay ready.

Jesus Christ this administration is sick

Do you really think that's something to tweet about like seriously

FoxNews why Iran not a country which meddle with your elections processes which produce a compromised puppet president?

So what, they're called contingency plans. Oh and guess what we have them for virtually every country in the world including Canada, UK, Mexico Lichtenstein. YAWN......

Did Putin approved of the plans?

Know_More_News All with taxes, which haven’t and won’t be accurately accounted for, cause they passsd a law allowing this 🤦🏼‍♂️ not sure bout the rest of you but that’s treasonous. What to do? FIRST... stop believing anything this propaganda outfit says 😉

Such a warmongering country

I would hope so. So are u libiots against war this week, or in favor of... Seems to change with the wind, lately...

Conspiring to commit war crimes and atrocities.

About time. Those rat bastards need dome payback. From the air!! Do not send Troopers. US NAVY and USAF.

well we've tilled the sand in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Syria .... we're running out of unbombed areas and civilians. Trump has made friends with Kim Jung, China is too big and we need maple syrup from Canada. Iran, you're it!

Wow, leaking classified intel now? FBI

Surprised our media doesn't post the plans

Glad we keep secrets. Patriotic citizens would never divulge this to our enemies.

It is good to be prepared to attack any nation whose leaders chant death to America and burn our flag.

PENTAGON TRONO DEL DIAVOLO 2019 SPARISCE

And you thought we were pulling out of Syria just to come home, haha, regrouping for Iran round 1 duh!

who at US dollar toilet paper I buy gold, which tomorrow the US dollar disappears. and a reserve currency manipulated worthless

I’ve been wanting Iran taken care of for years. Do it

War mongers

They ask for those type of plans with all sorts of countries. I will even bet there is one for Canada. It’s called preparedness. All administrations do it.

Another trillions in drains

Seems like there is a big disconnect between all factions of the government when dealing with important issues I think is a sign of weak leadership.

True or not is this really something you should be making public? Asking for an enemy of America?

Plantas solares y de ship

When will the damn Republicans stop trying to start a War with Iran stop kissing Netanyahu’s corrupt ass & try making peace with countries who think the U.S. just wants to rule the World.

What a fine man. El Chapo's lawyer.

This happens all of the time whenever a possible threat to national security arises. The War College has plans drawn up against just about every country in the world. To update the ones on Iran, a mortal enemy, is just good sense.

Always be prepared....surprises breed mistakes but please preparation leads to wins!

This reeks of Bolton.

Thats what happens when John Bolton is brought back into our government.

Well I guess it would be a good thing to know if needed

That’s no news the hawks are blood thirsty again

Sounds like last year’s news 🙄

God help us !!

For what?

So Trump is asking the Pentagon to launch a military attack against one of Russia's biggest allies, yet he works for Russia. It's getting TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE now.

Just a reminder the Pentagon has war plans for many contingencies this is fact manipulation for agenda again

Why is there a need to report this, even if accurate I am sure over the years The pentagon has looked at many options involving many countries. Looks like CNN is looking to sensationalize this, not surprised.

nevernormalizetrump

Why? What is going on in Iran?

trump Bone spurs leading the charge?

Didn’t we just give them billions?

Well, of course. Cause of John Bolton. He should not be allowed within 1,00 feet of the White House.

Lunacy...Iraq will be a cake walk compared to Iran.

Cool. Better than giving g them $$Billions

Attack? Why? How are they a threat to us so much so that warrants a pre emptive attack?

It he doesn’t want troops in foreign wars? 🙄

I cannot even imagine this President leading us into war.

Yeah, let’s just declare war on every other country

This is what I don’t understand from our lovely media. If this is national security information, why are we exposing it? To embarrass our president? Pathetic.

It’s good that the media makes these things public 🙄

Because they are one of the few independent currency nations left on earth. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

“The Journal, citing conversations with people familiar with the talks, also reported that the council requested options for launching strikes at both Iraq and Syria when they made the request for Iran.” Read the entire article FakeNews ClickBait dbongino

WWIII is Donald's last chance to get money for his wall...

Whomever leaked this needs to be hung.

Jesus

More fake news as always!!!

Gotta be prepared!

That would be due diligence. Not a sign of impending attack.

I feel like you shouldn't be announcing this.

I mean shouldnt they know the options?

To distract....

And what is Russia saying about that?
