Check the dates on this. We first heard that we will strike Iran hard. Then it was "talk to Iran to get approved targets for a strike". Now its we're gonna hit Iranian personnel in Iraq and Syria? Bet you big money that those bases will be cleared of "essential" personnel. I wouldn't doubt that they fill it with people facing the death penalty so that the US can get a body count.

Quite honestly we'd do better to save our munitions for REAL targets, not this made for TV drama.
