    The headline is somewhat misleading. Iran said US personnel are legitimate targets (meaning those employed by the US government. Not all US citizens.

    Although if I were American I would not risk depending on the judgment of a random Iranian soldier.

      First sentence:

      Iran announced Sunday that any American civilian or military personnel in the region are now considered legitimate targets

      So yes, still not all Americans, but no, not just government employees, American civilians too.

      But I suspect non-military people will be arrested, not treated as military targets to be attacked or bombed.

      It’s time someone does what the us does to everyone and bomb them at home

      Reddit: the downvotes only make me smile, seeing you guys upset that someone you bombed is calling for you to get bombed

        Folks have tried a couple of times, unfortunately it never seems to sink in that it generally isn’t worth the trouble.
