Further research reveals the Iranians may have intentionally missed American targets in order to avoid U.S. retaliation or a full scale war. In other words, they may have wanted to appear to strike back with force while not really intending to hit anything or inflict major damage or casualties. Also... in a baffling move, the Iranians did NOT target the airbase that housed the most U.S. troops. If the Iranians were serious about "teaching us a lesson", don't you think that would be their primary target? It all seems really fishy. Appearing to fight back, but not really putting anything at risk. Think of it this way... you throw a snowball at the neighborhood bully, but intentionally miss him by a mile. This gives the appearance to your friends that you are standing up to the bully and fighting back. In reality you want nothing to do with fighting the bully. I am not stating any of this as fact. It's just speculation and conjecture on my part after reading a news article.
Furthermore, a passenger jet from Ukraine crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran, Iran. I'm not into conspiracy theories, but it sure is suspicious that a plane belonging to a nation that is friendly with the U.S. crashed in Iran mere hours after this missile attack. Maybe it's just a terrible coincidence, and this truly is a tragic accident. But what if it's not? What if it's a cowardly way of striking back at the U.S.? The report I read said Iran is refusing to turn over the flight data recorder (black box). Why would they want to keep that a secret? If it was just an accident, what is the problem with investigators from other nations having access to the data? Once again, this is really fishy.
Just something to think about this morning, everybody. No facts to back any of this up, but it certainly deserves consideration.
