**Moderating:** A reminder, consequences and speculation belong in: > [@Speculation for Consequences to the US for Engaging in the Bombing of Iran and Other Targets](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/speculation-for-consequences-to-the-us-for-engaging-in-the-bombing-of-iran-and-other-targets/1028210): > > If you have thoughts about what the consequences will be to the US and its citizens as a result of our bombings of Iran and other targets, this is the thread for it.

Yes, one can turn to the other in a fast moving situation so we’ve been giving a lot of benefit of the doubt. But recently there’s been a lot of backsliding. No warnings at _this_ time, but if we have to keep reminding the thread every twelve hours, that’s likely coming. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/united-states-and-israel-are-bombing-iran-for-current-ongoing-events-past-future-have-specific-threads/1028071)._
