Let CENTCOM cook
Explain for a non-military dude?
3 US service members were killed and more than 30 injured from a large drone attack in Jordan https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/28/politics/us-troops-drone-attack-jordan/index.html
CENTCOM are the HQ for the madlads that made "proportional response" a meme. They were supposed to sink a couple ships and disable a few oil platforms and instead pretty much obliterated half of the Iranian navy in the process.
Iran killed 3 US Marines, people are memeing about killing many more in retaliation.
Maybe to that whole Huthi shooting at US Ship thingy?
Iran: Oh shit here we go again. What will be this time 70% of their navy? 50% of their bases?
Ready your ass Iran, you've been a bad boy.
I'll just leave this here...
