American military and intelligence officials have detected signs that Iran-backed militias are preparing to attack U.S. bases in Iraq, and possibly Syria, in retaliation for the U.S. strikes in Iran. But so far the groups have held off, and Iraqi officials are working hard to dissuade militia action, a U.S. official said on Sunday.

It's happening.

Not guaranteed, but we went from negotiations, to WMDs, to in-and-out strike, to regime change talks in record time.

We're heading in a very obvious direction. Whether we reach the obvious conclusion remains to be seen, but we're certainly barreling in that direction.

We're fucking speedrunning this shit.
