How a 4-Hour Battle Between Russian Mercenaries and U.S. Commandos Unfolded in Syria
WASHINGTON — The artillery barrage was so intense that the American commandos dived into foxholes for protection, emerging covered in flying dirt and debris to fire back at a column of tanks advancing under the heavy shelling. It was the opening salvo in a nearly four-hour assault in February by around 500 pro-Syrian government forces — including Russian mercenaries — that threatened to inflame already-simmering tensions between Washington and Moscow.
In the end, 200 to 300 of the attacking fighters were killed. The others retreated under merciless airstrikes from the United States, returning later to retrieve their battlefield dead. None of the Americans at the small outpost in eastern Syria — about 40 by the end of the firefight — were harmed.
The details of the Feb. 7 firefight were gleaned from interviews and documents newly obtained by The New York Times. They provide the Pentagon’s first public on-the-ground accounting of one of the single bloodiest battles the American military has faced in Syria since deploying to fight the Islamic State.

Iran, a State Sponsor of Terrorism lies about being hit by US cyber-attack
I would tend to believe the US Government ahead of the state sponsor of terrorism, Iran.
They are also going to be hit with more sanctions.
"Trump's new sanctions could deal blow ‘right to the heart’ of Iranian economy, Rep. Turner says."
President Trump has promised new sanctions against Iran on Monday on top of what has already been a crippling "maximum pressure campaign," and Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, discussed just how bad it could get for the Islamic nation's economy.
Turner said that the upcoming sanctions could hit "the heart" of Iran's economic system, with existing sanctions already expected to have a severe impact.

"The economy in Iran is reeling already from the sanctions that have been put in place before as part of the maximum pressure campaign," Turner told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. " The International Monetary Fund indicates that Iran's economy this year is expected to contract by six percent."
As for the new sanctions that Trump is expected to roll out on Monday, Turner said they could likely target Iranian oil exports, something "that goes right to the heart of really the engine of Iran's economy."

New York Times:

WASHINGTON — United States Cyber Command on Thursday conducted online attacks against an Iranian intelligence group that American officials believe helped plan the attacks against oil tankers in recent weeks, according to people briefed on the operation.
The intrusion occurred the same day President Trump called off a strike on Iranian targets like radar and missile batteries. But the online operation was allowed to go forward because it was intended to be below the threshold of armed conflict — using the same shadow tactics that Iran has deployed.
The online attacks, which had been planned for several weeks, were ultimately meant to be a direct response to both the tanker attacks this month and the downing of an American drone this week, according to the people briefed on the operations."
[Update: White House is pressing for additional options, including in cyberspace, to deter Iranian attacks.]

One wonders if the far left posters on this forum will believe Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, over their go to newspaper, the New York Times.

It appears that they do.

If Obama did that,the rightys would be begging for impeachment and questioning his manhood. Whatever Trump does, the Trumplestikskins back it 100 percent. If he dropped the bombs and killed 150, you all would be cheering him. He changed his mind at the last minute, you all cheer. This pattern gets old.
