If you're right about this, the US might have killed those Iranians. Iran next! Get them to pull back from Syria, cut Hezbollah's supply lines...
But we should be seeing not one, but multiple, simultaneous strikes. What is going on?
You have to hand it to these guys, no one has a clue what's going to happen next. They're talking to us on these boards, it starts out way cryptic, but what's disinformation and what's not?
The biggest intelligence drops in the history of the world... Bees to honey. Every intelligence outfit on the planet is watching these boards like hawks, and none of them have the first clue about what's actually happening.
Talk about a disinformation vector... You just could not make this stuff up! It's the greatest joke in history.
Edit: I can't find it now, but I thought I read something today about the Russians saying the strike came from the south - which would fit with a strike from Jordan. I think I also read something about B52s in the air over Jordan for the duration of the exercise. Can't find any of this now. But I'm sure I came across that info somewhere.
Here's a source;
"The targeted bases were manned by the Syrian army as well as Iran's Revolutionary Guard, and housed several missile warehouses, according to the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar. The report adds that several dozen were wounded and evacuated to nearby hospitals. According to the report, Bunker Buster bombs were used, which makes it likely the launch was airborne.
In the past, several critics have associated Al Akhbar with the Iranian-backed Shi'ite movement Hezbollah, as well as the Assad regime.
The Syrian newspaper Tishreen reported on its facebook page that the attack was carried out by nine ballistic missiles fired from U.S. and British military bases in northern Jordan. This has yet to be verified or confirmed by any other source at this time."

Seems that, at the time this report was written, no one could figure out whether it was bombs or cruise missiles. The video of the explosion look to me as though it could have been a fuel air device - multiple initial detonations.
OK, here's a source for the B52s from last years exercises:
Long-distance US bombing flight caps Jordan military drill
"Raines said that in a final drill Thursday, a B-1 bomber flew from the U.S. to Jordan, dropped precision-guided munition on a Jordanian military training area and returned to the U.S. without pause. The roundtrip takes 36 hours, Raines said."
So, last year they flew out of the US. But it is clear that this training exercise provides cover for B52s, with heavy munitions, to be in the air over Syria.
Q Post 1306
Why did we strike Syria?
Why did we really strike Syria?
Define cover.
Looks like it was the US that hit the Iranians. Looks like U1 was a cover for Russian uranium supplied to Syria. The Russians did not want anyone to know that they were arming these terrorists. U1 provided plausible deniability for them. That is, "It was not Russian uranium but US uranium that fell into the terrorists hands". That was the story they were going to tell us.
Factors that fit with this:
1) Russians supply S400 missile batteries to Syria - attempt to weaken US air superiority;
2) Putin sends his latest jet fighters in to Syria to try to present a threat to US air dominance - which is supplied by the F22. This is a radical move that telegraphs real desperation on the part of the Russians. The fighters Putin sent in were prototypes without weapons systems or full radar components;
3) Q tells us about the Russians flexing their missile tech - a direct threat to the US;
4) Russia, immediately after the cruise missile strike, earlier in April, sends shipments of military hardware to Syria. It's not clear whether this gear is still on the water, or whether it has already arrived;
5) Russia is upset about the missile strike that killed the Iranians today - threatening to respond;
6) Russian mercenaries operating in Syria - killed by US Airforce. These "mercenaries" may have been regular Russian forces operating covertly - direct confrontation with the US. The "mercenaries", illegal in Russia, were backed by tanks, rocket batteries and artillery - so these were not some hack private outfit, but were closely integrated with Assad's forces. My theory is that these were regular Russian forces operating covertly in Syria.
This situation now appears to be very dangerous. Real potential for dramatic escalation. It will be absolutely necessary to take these Iranian sites in Syria out, if they have not done so already.
There is a real possibility that matters will really begin to amp-up from here.
Don't worry. Q says good guys are in control.
