Obviously they dont have the range to hit us from Asia. But they sure can hit us . commercial , and fishing ships, drones purchased in the US and modified. Parts smuggled in from the southern border . suicide or modified Cessna planes loaded with explosives , drones fired from Canada or mexico . If they have the means, motive and opportunity they can do it

Wouldn't it be ironic if it ran out of fuel?

We might have saved them if we had a little more oil.
I'm not being the least bit sarcastic at all.
I was pointing out that they are old planes in case anyone didn't know. But aircraft also don't age like cars. They have a very long life span of properly maintained.
I know you know this stuff but bringing it into the discussion to prove your point.
Look at the club K missiles.
Look at what the ukranians did in Russia to the Russian bombers with operation spiderweb.
It doesn't take a genius to come up with an idea to load up some harmless looking containers on a ship and deploy them from off the coast...
Planes and ships don't last forever no matter how well they're maintained. Critical structures weaken and eventually fail. Many of those failure points are in places that are impossible or nearly impossible to inspect. Metals of all types fatigue and either become soft or brittle leading to failure. Micro cracks can turn into structural instability very fast.
Or maybe its the FBI. You know, like the ones that dressed up as Trump supporters during Jan 6.
Accidents happen....

Arial Refueling is dangerous. Accidents happen.
It's also something that is done continuously war or no war.
This is rhe airborne equivalent of a traffic accident, could have happened stateside just as easily.

At that point it's just bog standard terrorism.
They could load up a truck full of fertilizer too. They've done it before, and the only way they won't do it again is if they're dead.
So far the only POTUS in 40 years that's worked on the only way to prevent that is Trump.

ABC, the network that lists THE VIEW as their top news show. I'd say it's a dishonest mickey mouse operation run by dishonest rats.

All of that is valid but they do have drones with a range of over 1000 miles. They could be launched from cargo ships and flown NOE in an attempt to avoid radar.

USS Liberty anyone?

Why would they do that? They already have us in as deep as we can go. If it was Obama or Brandon in charge and were trying to avoid conflict by paying the scumbags off, I could see it, but not with this admin.
lol. Plunge us into Martial law of some sort. Which is illegal BTW.. False Flags have started many wars.

The American Presidency Project +4Key details regarding Lincoln's use of martial law:
- Suspension of Habeas Corpus: In 1861, Lincoln authorized military commanders to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in certain areas to detain suspected secessionists without charge.
- Expanded Scope:The 1862 proclamation extended martial law to anyone discouraging enlistments, resisting militia drafts, or engaging in "disloyal practices"
. - Military Tribunals: Civilians suspected of disloyalty could be arrested and tried by military commissions rather than civilian courts.
- Legal Challenges: The Supreme Court, in Ex parte Milligan (1866), ruled that military tribunals were illegal in areas where civilian courts were still functioning, limiting the scope of martial law.
- Justification: Lincoln argued these measures were necessary for public safety and the preservation of the Union during an emergency.

Im just kidding but if had to guess I would say that most Americans are not into this war, nothing to to stir up the pot and piss Americans off more than a burning aircraft carrier . Recruiting is down and theres talk of a draft . dead Americans in the water would really motivate people like 911.

Looks like they are gearing up for a ground war. I highly doubt they will land in Iran . but rather take a series of Islands to help open the gulf back up for trade . it could still get messy , but not as large as Iraq .
I would guess they might take Kharg Island first. If Iran is going to fall Kharg Island would probably look like Kuwait right after the Iraqi army pulled out. I think it may be Iran's largest oil loading facility. Trump is going to want that in one piece.

Saw a pic and article about that island a day or 2 ago. It was described as the "epicenter" of all Iran oil business. First thing I thought was " why arent we taking control of that". When I saw today that 2500 Marines were on the way I assumed they were going there.

Kharg Island (Persian: جزیره خارک), also spelt Khark Island and often referred to as the "Forbidden Island", is a continental island of Iran in the Persian Gulf. The island is 25 km (16 mi) off the coast of Iran and 483 km (300 mi) northwest of the Strait of Hormuz. Its total area is 20 km2 (7.7 sq mi), and it has its own freshwater supply. Administered by the adjacent coastal Bushehr province, Kharg Island provides a sea port for the export of up to 90% of its oil products, and is therefore strategically important. The city of Kharg and the Jazireh-ye Khark Lighthouse are located on the island.
Following the beginning of the 2026 Iran war on 28 February 2026, analysts interpreting satellite imagery noted that Iran apparently expected Kharg Island to become a target in an upcoming conflict and therefore had started to reduce the amount of oil in storage there since early February 2026. Although the facilities on Kharg were initially not attacked, only nine of the oil tanks were estimated to be full by 7 March 2026, compared to 27 in mid-January.[6] In March 2026, it was reported that Israel was considering bombing the island, while the US was favouring the idea of seizing the island.[4]
On 13 March 2026, the United States announced that Kharg Island military installations were bombed as part of the 2026 Iran War. [7][8]
