COTTonLINE gave you a heads up about a likely bombing attack on Iran almost a month ago. Here is some of what we posted on March 27.
US long-range bombing assets are massing at Diego Garcia. The means one of two things.
Either they are there to add weight to the pressure Trump will put on Iran to reach a no-nukes deal, or they are there to bring pressure and, if the diplomatic effort fails, bomb to destruction Iran's nuclear program using (non-nuclear) ground-penetrating high explosive bombs. Carrier based assets will aid in this latter effort.
Long range bombers delivered most of the attack on Iran, and according to Jennifer Griffin, Fox News' longtime Pentagon reporter, carrier based EA-18 electronic warfare planes supported the mission. There were also submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles fired at surface targets. One source even claims a B-52 dropped a bunker buster too.
This last point could turn out to be important, namely that B-52s can operate more-or-less safely over Iran. They are capable of carrying well over a hundred 500 lb. dumb bombs per mission, of the sort that can carpet bomb cities into rubble fields. Trump warned that Iran has "many targets left" and he is willing to destroy them too if surrender is not forthcoming.
I wonder when and how this ends?
