Iran Plots Revenge, U.S. Says

[Nuclear Unicorn]

WASHINGTON—The U.S. has intercepted an order from Iran to militants in Iraq to attack the U.S. Embassy and other American interests in Baghdad in the event of a strike on Syria, officials said, amid an expanding array of reprisal threats across the region.

Military officials have been trying to predict the range of possible responses from Syria, Iran and their allies. U.S. officials said they are on alert for Iran's fleet of small, fast boats in the Persian Gulf, where American warships are positioned. U.S. officials also fear Hezbollah could attack the U.S. Embassy in Beirut.

1. Don't worry. If Iran attacks or bombs US interests the US will consider it an act of war.

2. This is why we need to stop this in Congress...

Contact your Senators and Representatives. This would be the perfect pretext for a regional war involving Syria and Iran, and God knows what else from there...

Freedom bombs on the way for them as well. We got plenty to go around!

7. I guess we'll need pre-emptive war

for an attack on Iraq that never happened as revenge for a US attack on Syria that hasn't happened.
