..... Interesting Iranian response. Ballistic missile attack...?
- First of all, what happened to the US Patriot batteries? Are any deployed in that sector? Did they intercept anything?
- What is the CEP of these ballistic missiles?
- Was the target of this strike a populated area of the airbase? Or did they actually aim it at a non-populated area to make sure there are no casualties?

Not a lot of info being released. The Iranians have announced they were doing it and the US has confirmed it. Photos have appeared of missile wreckage apparently near a base so how accurate the attacks are is anyone’s guess. No one has said anything about intercepts yet. The US has apparently launched fighters but they are in Iraqi airspace. The Iranians have also launched there antique fighters but they are in Iranian airspace.
FRESNO, Calif. () -- The is warning people about a series of fake text messages tricking people into thinking they are being drafted.
In a news release published Tuesday, the U.S. Army Recruiting Command said they have been receiving calls and emails about these fake texts.
It is unclear where these fake texts are originating.
Officials want to ensure Americans that these messages are not real and they are not being drafted.
The is a separate agency outside of the , and the Army has no control over the draft.
"The Selective Service System is conducting business as usual,” according to the Selective Service System’s official Facebook page. “In the event that a national emergency necessitates a draft, Congress and the President would need to pass official legislation to authorize a draft."
The draft has not been in effect since 1973.
The military has been an all-volunteer force since then.

Hearing reports some were shot down. I assume untrue?
Also, did US even attempt to shoot them down?

No news on that yet. It’s possible but unknown. Not going to speculate.
US CENTCOM says 4 "failed in flight"
This implies none were shot down, unless failed in flight includes being shot down
