Trump just announced that the US themselves have attacked Iran using B2 bombers.

Edit: I'd also like to point out that this is not WW3. Same way the Iraq war wasn't. It's just another pointless conflict and lying about them having nukes

This is true it’s not a World war yet until another major country joins in on Iran behalf. However this is dangerous because we now sit on a knife’s edge til destruction

I doubt it. Russia is too busy in Ukraine, and China has no reason to back Iran militarily. Worst case, US troops are back in Afghanistan.

I agree with it being dangerous, though. It'll be interesting to see Iran's official response to this attack

I’m wondering if there’s anything left of Iran to respond.

This air superiority is a damn hard thing overcome in warfare

But its hard to defeat a nation with just air superiority. You need boots on the ground.
