This would be a strong turn of events if Iran is behind the attacks. U.S. military personnel seems to have been specifically targeted. President Trump has made it clear he will not stand for our U.S. soldiers being threatened overseas. Leftists are expressing sympathy for the Iranians of course. Many are using the situation to demand President Trump step down.

As the situation unfolds, we will keep you updated.
