There Be Dragons
- Iran launches ballistic missiles at US-occupied Iraqi bases with no American casualties
- Wild conjecture: the attack coincided with Soleimani’s funeral. Iranian state TV has reported casualties they know did not occur. Their targets were neither the largest nor the closest. Our early-warning systems gave troops up to 15 minutes of warning. They wanted to miss. There will be no hot war.
- That being said, a 737 went down outside Tehran as I type this. Texas Governor Abbott warns of Iranian cyber attacks. A damn earthquake just hit the Afghan-Iranian border. Who knows.
