Iranian General: U.S. Asked For ‘Limited Air Strike’ To Save Face After Drone Shootdown

US asked Iran for ‘limited air strike’ to save face after drone shootdown

Tehran Times: U.S. asked Iran’s permission for limited strike to save face: general

“After the downing of its intruding drone, the United States told us through diplomatic intermediaries that it wanted to carry out a limited operation in an unimportant and deserted region to save face and asked us to avoid giving them a response, but Iran said it would regard any operation as the initiation of a war,” Mehr quoted Brigadier General Gholam Reza Jalali as saying.

Jalali censured Washington’s warmongering rhetoric against Tehran, saying any move against the integrity of Iran will be firmly dealt with.

Asking to save face after all the decades of war criminality?

The Free Range International post of July 4th seems more believable.

It's just a machine, 150million.. we will get that back one way or another - or fuck with some of their hardware.. if they killed one of our soldiers (or civilians), it would be different. But I don't believe the US would ask, it would be very naive. It's obvious that neither side wants war, or we would have war already. Who DOES want the US and Iran be at war are other countries who would benefit from the distraction: China, Russia and North Korea; Russia would also benefit from rising oil prices. China less so. North Korea only if they can circumvent sanctions (which they can, but not as much)

So yeah.. China hopes Iran and US go to war so that hopefully Trump will be voted out if things go bad in that war (and China would OFC help to tip it in favour for Iran.. with money, advisers perhaps)

And Russia is already benefiting from the rise in oil prices.. a war could double the price for a barrel.. don't quote me on that though, not really my field of expertise

Yet another Anti-American statement from Robert Huntley

DDSS

Huntly is quite the idiot, isn't he? Regarding Iran, they are lying. Their religious leaders are a pack of wild dogs. This so-called "Islamic Regime" will not last forever because Islam is all based on a lie. The Koran was based on the fantasy of one individual who was a pervert and a robber. All those gray-beards leading Iran are either gullible dupes or actively evil.

That statement does not upset the squirrel.

Why?

Could it be he is anti-American too?

These comments would be more adult if those commenting commented on the article posted instead of simply making nasty comments about others who read and visit this site...By making such childish comments, the comments have become grade schoolish and spoil the intent of the site...Why bring down the hard work that our editor puts in for us to enjoy?

Iran has a habit of issuing threats on a weekly basis. Now, perhaps, they are also issuing lies. We have no proof from them or from our govt on this. In fact, we still have conflicting reports on where the drone was when shot down.

Has Mexico sent the wall check yet?

Anonymous said...

Yes, they have.

The fewer illegals, the fewer remittances sent to Mexico via Western Union and the more $$$ stays in the US.

What is your point other than to get your ya-yas out?

If Mexico does not pay for the wall, the building a wall is a bad idea?

Please explain.

Trump has Mexico pay for the wall or Americans pay for it, but it gets built, we'll still love Trump.

MAGA!
