This isn't what happened. The Iranians knew they were about to proceed with a complicated military operation. The airport shouldn't even have been open. This is not "caught in the middle" of anything, it's a screw up by the Iranians.https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1215349135991287809 …

But for the strike on Soelimani, those civilians would be alive today. Fact.

could this be an argument for not instigating hostilities with incompetent countries with extensive arsenals unless we have our ducks in a row? Is doing otherwise not a screwup?
