“'The Iranian regime now holds the largest and most capable unmanned aerial vehicle force in the region,' he said.

U.S. forces entered Syria in 2015, backing allied forces in their fight against the Islamic State group. The U.S. still maintains the base near Hasakah in northeast Syria where Thursday’s drone strike happened.

There are roughly 900 U.S. troops, and even more contractors, in Syria, including in the north and farther south and east.'"

Isn't that more than the residual training forces that were left in Iraq?
 
No Israeli jet flying over like Lebanon.

And it was a two bomb setup - one to start a stampede and one for shrapnel

"Iran seized a tanker with Iraqi crude destined for Turkey on Thursday in what appeared to be a retaliation for the seizure last year of the same vessel by Tehran’s arch foe the United States, Iranian media reported."

The Marshall Islands-flagged tanker St Nikolas....'The Navy of Iran’s Army has announced the seizure of an American oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman with a judicial order,' Iranian state media cited a statement by the Army as saying on Thursday."

Iraqi oil? Turkish buyer? Surely there was another ship that was a little more Western to seize.

Poor Baloch people...

Israel has not briefed U.S. military officials on its plans for retaliation against Iran, U.S. officials say

Israeli Defense Minister Gallant was to meet with U.S. Defense Secretary Austin in D.C. on Wednesday, but the trip has been postponed at the request of Prime Minister Netanyahu

"Austin was frustrated and angry that Israel did not inform the U.S. that it intended to target Nasrallah, according to multiple U.S. officials. In recent months, Gallant and Austin have spoken multiple times every week, but Gallant informed Austin of the operation against Nasrallah as it was underway."

Austin: Why didn't you tell me so I can tell Biden!?
