US forces cowardly retreat According to an IRGC statement released Wednesday, “the operational planning and coordination among Iranian armed forces in targeting across different fronts has changed the war’s equation,” stressing that Iran’s military capabilities were beyond the estimates of the United States and "Israel."

The IRGC also asserted that “Iranian armed forces are closely monitoring the cowardly retreat of US soldiers from their bases and their taking refuge in hotels in host countries.”

It added that “the Iranian armed forces are observing the U.S. military’s use of civilian facilities in host countries,” warning that “the Revolutionary Guard is lying in wait for the invading U.S. soldiers and will not let them escape.”

I recall seeing comrades here say that the IRGC wasn't actively trying to cause US military personnel casualties and that the 6 who were KIA were likely the only ones to perish. I can't find any reason to believe that this is true. Especially after all that Iran has suffered this past week, the martyring of their Supreme Leader, military brass and civilian leadership and during Ramadan, the events in January that led to the killing of 3000+ civilians, the 12-Day War last year, economic sanctions, sabotage & infiltration ops by enemy intelligence, the Stuxnet cyber attack that set back their nuclear development program under Obama, and so on. Many of us westerners have been conditioned to "forget" about these sort of things by all of the flood of information via social media campaigns. This is something they could not possibly forget, because this is something that has affected them in a real, material way. They're truly out for justice against the imperialists.
