Biden Admin Warns Iran of "Severe Consequences" If U.S. Citizens Are Attacked

[Webster]

(The Guardian) White House warns Iran 'will face severe consequences' if it attacks US citizens
National security adviser Jake Sullivan has warned Iran against any attacks targeting Americans following allegations that it plotted to kill John Bolton, a noted foe of Tehran who served in the Trump administration.

“We have said this before and we will say it again: the Biden Administration will not waiver in protecting and defending all Americans against threats of violence and terrorism. Should Iran attack any of our citizens, to include those who continue to serve the United States or those who formerly served, Iran will face severe consequences. We will continue to bring to bear the full resources of the U.S. Government to protect Americans,” Sullivan said in a statement.

Bolton, who was Trump’s national security adviser from 2018 to 2019, presided over Washington’s decision to leave the Iran nuclear deal, and has advocated for bombing the country. The assassination plot alleged by the justice department earlier today appeared to be in retaliation for the 2020 assassination of Qassem Suleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who was killed on Trump’s orders.

Hey, if you think we can conquer a country several times the size of Iraq or Afghanistan, have at it.
Beats assassinating Iranian officials in other countries.....

Conquer? Where did you get that from. I think you have missed me saying dozens of times I want our military out of the hundred or so countries we are in and let the world handle its own problems.

As I said we need to pull out every American soldier around the world and send them home. Don’t give a shit what they do over there this is Europe’s backyard. Let them spend trillions on this stuff. After everyone is home send a message to the world if you touch any American citizen we will level your capital and most important religious structures for every hurt American.

*deadpans* Oh yeah, that's a sound strategy. Worked well after World War 1, got us in part World War 2.

After all, there's a reason why, whenever trouble breaks out somewhere in the world, one of the first things asked is "Where are our carriers?"

Yes it is a sound strategy, it’s not the early 1900s where our own country is crumbling and divided on every single issue.
