I wonder if there was some confusion between Stryker the Army infantry vehicle and Stryker the medtech company.

It seems a really weird target for Iran otherwise.

Medtech company males complete sense. Iran's strategy seems to be to tighten the screws on US citizens so they put pressure on the government to stop the war. They seem to be doing that with things like higher gas prices, and now delays at hospitals with this stryker hit

Makes sense given that US citizens tend not to be too supportive of american wars, but tolerate them because it doesnt really affect them. So iran can get this to affect them then people might come out to the streets. Which would be especially effective in a midterms year like now.

Man itll be ironic as fuck if iran manages to enact regime change in the us before the us does in iran

It it was the case, Iran underestimates how vindictive Americans are.
Meh. Americans showed in vietnam and iraq that they dont just go along with wars they think are bullshit

This could make americans hate iran and demand retribution, but i think its more likely to make americans made at israel and their own governmnet for dragging them into it for no reason

Yeah, I had to lookup the names! Stryker the armored vehicle is made by General Dynamics. Striker the fire truck is made by Oshkosh Corporation.
