Well, he did it. Trump was true to his word and rained fire on Iran in Operation Epic Fury, which is still going on now.
Iran's citizens are thrilled:
Amazing.

But not surprisingly, Iran's allies on the left have jumped right in, attempting to defend Iran with their words to continue Iran's propaganda war. Most are saying pretty stupid things; some are whimpering, some are discombobulated, some say they really want freedom for Iran, but ..., others say it's 'greatly concerning,' or stroke their chins about 'grave consequences'; others spew 'international law,' tripe as if terrorist state Iran were an upstanding nation, while still others mouth the olde-tyme leftist claptrap about yanquí imperialismo, and in the case of Rep. Ilhan Omar, Trump violating the sacred Islamic Ramadan fasting period, which didn't seem to bother Afghanistan or Pakistan, both of which lobbed missiles at one other in the last two days.
Iraq was attacked by the US during Ramadan and it sickening to know that the US is again going to attack Iran during Ramadan. The US apparently loves to strike Muslim countries during Ramadan and I am convinced it isn’t what these countries have done to violate international law…

Omar, who's got plenty of problems with her immigration status these days, jumped to the defense of her allies in Iran, using all the tired, boring tropes of the global left to attempt to stop President Trump's powerful actions to take the evil regime out.
She spouts that against the iron wall of resolution presented by President Trump in the past few hours:
Listen to this ENTIRE message.

This isn't blustery Trump. This is, "You f**ked around, now find out" Trump. https://t.co/yVWJDK3b08
...which makes her look pretty small.
But the best stuff is in the retorts from Iran, whose people are incredibly grateful and happy.
To all Americans who voted for Donald J. Trump: thank you from the bottom of my heart — from me and from Iranians everywhere.

If you’re not Iranian, shut the fuck up.

Iranians are celebrating and crying tears of joy right now.
Long live Iran 🇮🇷❤️
I am an Iranian and I would like to ask you to pray for the U.S. forces, and the Iranian people (Not the Ayatollahs' regime).

Long live the people of Iran, and God bless the United States of America.
Here's the mother of all smackdowns from an Iranian in Iran, directed specifically at Omar:
She's interrupting his lunch.
This Hong Konger, whose territory has been oppressed by China, has some important insights:
Whatever the rights or wrongs of US interventions in Venezuela and Iran under international law, let’s not forget that both interventions appear to have significant support from Iranians and Venezuelans. And in Venezuela’s case, the objection from its people appear not so much…

As do these Venezuelan and Russian expatriates, who note the left's hypocrisy:
EXACTLY. I don’t wanna hear your concern for Iranian lives if you didn’t care when the dictatorship massacred thousands in days. Leave the selective outrage at home and listen to Iranians please https://t.co/O0gRSGn7Qk

Against all of this, Omar looks like a boob.
