One would be forgiven for thinking the End Times are upon us after events in Iran and Iraq on Tuesday night.
- An Iranian missile attack on a U.S. base in Iraq
- A deadly plane crash in Iran
- A pair of earthquakes in Iran
PJM reported Tuesday
on an Iranian missile attack on a U.S. airbase in Iraq. The provocative
attack by the Iranians was in response to the U.S. killing
terrorist-thug Qasem Soleimani at the Baghdad airport late last week. By
all accounts, the attack on the U.S. base Tuesday was a complete
failure, with no reports of fatalities. That didn't stop Iranian
propagandists (read: liars) from claiming victory:
Iranian TV says 80 people killed in missile attack. Yeah, okay buddy, sure. https://twitter.com/mgerrydoyle/status/1214780931514331136 …
But that's not all.
While
all this was going on, a 4.9 magnitude earthquake struck Borazjan,
Iran, less than 50 miles from in the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

India Today:
A natural, 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck Iran near the Bushehr nuclear plant Wednesday, reports said, as tensions in the Middle East soared following Iranian missile strikes on Iraqi bases housing US troops.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake struck 10 km southeast of Borazjan, Iran -- marked with a gold star on the map below -- and at a depth of 10 km.The map shows the respective locations of the earthquake's epicentre and the city of Bushehr, near which the nuclear plant is located.Borazjan is a nearly 70-km drive away from Bushehr."The depth and epicenter indicate it was a natural event and unrelated to this evening's [US time] events. A similar earthquake struck in late December," the website Strategic Sentinel tweeted.
According to
the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake began six miles
below the surface, an indication that this was indeed an earthquake and
not something more sinister. There were no immediate reports of injuries
or nuclear events.
While officials are calling this a "natural" event, a website that tracks earthquakes and volcanos crowdsourced some man-on-the-street "I felt it" reports from the area where the earthquake struck:
Bunker Outside Tehran / MMI V (Moderate shaking) : Maybe not earthquake US Bombing :)Southern Iran / MMI V (Moderate shaking) : This is either Trump or god telling us we we are evil. Time to remove the mullahs before they have Iran wiped out.iran / MMI IX (Violent shaking) : ok boomeriran / MMI VIII (Severe shaking) : energy weaponShiraz / MMI V (Moderate shaking) : Saw a bright flashing light, followed by lots of shaking.(7.3 km SSE from epicenter) [Map] / MMI IX (Violent shaking) : it feel like bomb no earthquake god help usBorazjan / MMI VIII (Severe shaking) : This was not an earthquake, explosion and shockwave it nightmareShiraz / MMI V (Moderate shaking)
Yeah, take most of those reports with a grain of salt.
Probably.
Is it outside the realm of possibility that there was something more
going on? Could the U.S. or the Iraqis have taken out a target in the
region? Stay tuned.
But
that's not all.
A second quake, measuring 4.5 in magnitude, hit Borazjan almost exactly
one hour later about 10 miles southeast of the city. Keep in mind that
seismic activity is pretty common in the region, including a 5.1
magnitude earthquake that struck the area in December.
But even
that's not all.
A Ukranian passenger jet carrying 176 crashed shortly after takeoff
from Tehran's international airport, killing all on board, officials in
Ukraine said.
Yahoo:
The plane had taken off from Imam Khomeini International Airport in the Iranian capital when a fire struck one of its engines, said Qassem Biniaz, a spokesman for Iran's Road and Transportation Ministry. The pilot of the aircraft then lost control of the plane, sending it crashing into the ground, Biniaz said, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
The plane carried 167 passengers and nine crew members from different nations on its flight to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, Biniaz said. The crash killed all on board, Iranian emergency officials and Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said.Flight data from the airport showed a Ukrainian 737-800 flown by Ukraine International Airlines took off Wednesday morning, then stopped sending data almost immediately afterward, according to website FlightRadar24. The airline did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Alleged footage of #Ukraine International Airline #UIA flight number #PS752 that crashed in #Tehran #Iran. Flight ends in a massive fireball... https://twitter.com/alihashem_tv/status/1214756252749877250 …
Note: Officials have not confirmed that this is actual footage of the plane crash.
Al Hadath making the claim that #Ukraine International Airline #UIA flight number #PS752 B737 that went down in #Tehran #Iran was accidentally shot down by Anti-Aircraft units in the city. Take with a major grain of salt for the time being. https://twitter.com/AlHadath/status/1214758196511985664 …
There is absolutely no confirmation on this claim at this time. The video purported to be #PS752 going down *could* potentially indicate an extraordinary circumstance, but no comment has been made by a reliable source at this point. Lots of misinformation out there.
(Aside: Did we ever get to the bottom of who used Russian surface-to-air missiles to shoot down MH-17 over Ukraine in 2014?)
After the attack on U.S.
troops in Iraq, the Federal Aviation Administration banned U.S. carriers
from flying in the airspace over Iran, Iraq, the Gulf of Oman, and the
waters between Iran and Saudia Arabia.
This hat-trick of Big Events
in the world's hottest of hotspots Tuesday kept Twitter buzzing late
into the night with unsubstantiated speculation and lots of wild
conspiracy theories. Of course.
Iran's strange day
Stampede at Solemani's funeral, > 50 killed.
Launched 15 missiles at US troops in Iraq, 4 down in Iran, rest hit nothing. No US causalities/damage reported.
Ukrainian 737 crashes on take-off from Teheran's airport, 180 onboard
Earthquake in Southern Iran.

Oh, did I forget to mention there was a stampede? This day keeps getting stranger.
Notice that even Fox News isn't talking about the 4.9 Earthquake in Iran... Or the Ukrainian Airlines Boeing 737 with 180 on board that crashed....
This is how you know there is more to these stories..
This is how you know there is more to these stories..
Actually, they are, Matt.
So we've got a missile attack, a 4.9 magnitude random earthquake and a crashing airliner all happening the same night in Iran? Maybe I'm crazy but someone runs me the Vegas odds on all this happening the same night. Please.
Australia burned down, Indonesia was flooding, US and Iran starting WWIII, Alaska and Guatemala having volcanic eruptions, LA, Puerto Rico, And Iran having earthquakes, Ukraine Airlines plane with 180 people crashed... y’all this is really it...
It all does sound a bit strange, doesn't it? But fear not, there's one thing we can be sure of:
Iran has a plane crash and an earthquake near their nuclear facility on the same night they launch an attack on U.S. forces in Iraq.
At least 90% chance they will be blaming Jews by tomorrow.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm hoping for a quiet news day on Wednesday. Or the Rapture.
