Iran strike

Iranian Airstrikes:

We've let the Turks get away with this kind of thing before, so now Iran wants to play:

It is a serious development because the Iraqi airspace is under the control of the US Air Force and under US protection. So the raids are either approved by the United States, as was the case when a US nod was previously given to the Turkish Army, or such operation was a surprise by the Iranians. According to eyewitnesses, the planes were flying at very low altitudes, which may indicate that they were trying to escape detection by radars. So these planes were able to attack many locations. Eyewitnesses and official Kurdish sources said that the raids were carried out by fighter jets and not helicopters.
Exit question:

Which is worse -- the idea that Iran is carrying out airstrikes in defiance of President Obama, or the idea that President Obama is endorsing Iranian airstrikes? Discuss.
