There is a whole lot of home-politics being played in the reactions to this issue. No one is talking about the fact that Qassem Soleimani directed the attack on the U.S. embassy in Iraq that killed a number of Americans. No one is talking about the fact that the rebels his IRGC sponsors attacked a Saudi oil facility with rockets few weeks ago.
And most importantly, under the U.S. law, Qassem Soleimani was the leader of a 'terrorist organization'—the U.S. had gazzetted the IRGC as a terrorist organisation few months ago. So, legally [as far as the U.S. is concerned], the killing of Qassem is just like that of al Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS.
Fortunately if the reports of 'no-casualty' are true, then it means Iran has adeptly navigated this murky waters: it has fired directly on a U.S. base—enough to assuage the rage within Iran and to keep its national pride. And most importantly, it has made sure there are no casualties on the American side—just enough to not incite the U.S. into retaliation. A lot of gibberish and falsehood in ur assertions Although, you write well but you still lack proper schooling in international politics. For the records, it's yet to be proven who exactly attacked Saudi oil facility. Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for that very attack, but USA somehow still managed, without evidence, to blame it on Iran. Just last week, united Nations committee of seasoned investigators who are investigating that very attack, revealed that there is completely non existing evidence in support of US claims as other indicators show otherwise so far. Memories are still fresh in our minds concerning the lies contained in USA intel report about the stockpile of WMD in the possession of Sadam Hussein, which happens to be non existent as no weapon of mass destruction has been found till date. They (USA and allies) went to Libya and took out Gaddafi and destroyed Libya which was the only country working in Africa. Till date crisis in Libya still rages. Also to correct u, the only attack on US embassy was the one carried out by protesters protesting against US strikes on Iraq militia forces. That protest at US embassy caused no injuries or casualties. 1 Like |

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why Iran hates Israel and the USA? Please do not take this as offensive because I do not mean it as such, I would suggest you do some honest digging and also keep a very open mind. I was also like you at some point. I grew up thinking the world was Black and White. Good versus Evil. I did not know that the ones who pose as good are more evil than the ones who are painted as such. Then I discovered that life is just a series of cause and effect and things do not happen randomly they happen for a reason. I think I have come to a safe conclusion that the world will never be at peace but the world will be a much better and peaceful place if every country were strong in their own way. Righteousness89:

Sowore wasn't tagged a terrorists, and his revolution is accepted by people all over the country, infact most yoruba's don't know him, if Nnamdi Kanu is killed, then I will believe USA is the police of the world. Then, Thousands of Biafra would come out to mourn, Just like millions Iranian and Iraqi mourned Soleimani Nnamdi kanu didn't get the terrorist medal/badge on his first year of protesting, why are you promoting sorwore before he earns the height of being labed a terrorist? My point is, if freedom fighters must be killed for what they belive in before you know that USA is the world police, then Sowore should be dead now that he is still in puparty stage. There is no point in postponing the evil date |

If you take your time to read the expository below ,then one will understand the constituent of the "vast crowd" at the terrorist burial as they don't represent the ordinarily suppressed iranians.
Basij, The Oppressive Arm Of The Iranian Regime
Shortly after the 1979 revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of Iran’s Islamic Republic, gave a speech to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and emphasized that the country needed a 20 million-strong army to be able to defend itself against its enemies, particularly the United States.
Iranian sources consider that date the official establishment of the Basij (the name means mobilization). However, the related law was only passed in June 1980.
It states that the purpose of the Basij is "to train and organize all volunteers for encountering any threat and invasion against the accomplishments of the Islamic revolution from inside and outside.”
The law also places the Basij organization under the control of the supreme leader; however, in practice, it has always been supervised by the IRGC.
When Iraq under Saddam Hussein invaded Iran in September 1980, the ayatollahs faced a challenge in defending the country. They had weakened the country’s military by executing or imprisoning many high-ranking military officers, allegedly for being loyal to the previous regime or being involved in suppressing the revolutionaries.
Under such circumstances, the Basij started to recruit millions of volunteers for the war. Without the contribution of the so-called Basijis, Iran most probably would have lost the war to Saddam’s army.
When the war was over, the IRGC started to use the Basij for staging propaganda events in support of the regime. For instance, when the supreme leader calls for a rally in support of the system or against Western countries, the Basijis are the first on the scene and encourage or even force others to
During the presidency of Mohammad Khatami (1997-2005), who attempted some political reforms, Basijis became thugs attacking reformist politicians, journalists, students, or anyone critical of the conservative establishment.
The height of their notoriety was the protests against the re-election of Mahmud Ahmadinejad as Iran’s president in 2009, when they were armed by the IRGC to suppress protesters.

In addition to beating up supporters of the so-called Green Movement and handing them over to security forces, they were also responsible for killing dozens. Their most famous victim was a 26-year-old woman who was shot by a Basiji in June 2009 in downtown Tehran. The video of her tragic death shook the country and the world. Later, a suspect was arrested who carried a Basij identity card.
The Basij also does significant recruitment in schools. Therecruits are separated into categories, "Omidan" (Hopes, in elementary schools); "Pouyandegan" (Seekers, in middle schools) and "Pishgaman" (Standard Bearers, in high schools).
Confession from a Basij
All my fellow [Basij] had come. Some were on motorbikes. The little and simple equipment of the Basij is more efficient than armies. We put everything in the van and went while chanting: “Ali, Ali” [eds: Shi’a first imam and son in law and cousin of the Prophet Mohammad]. The [Basij members] were all in very good spirits. Someone said, let’s say Salawat [a prayer] for the health of the Hidden Imam. One member said Salawat for the health of Imam Khamenei and the annihilation of the sedition [eds: Green Movement]. Another said Salawat for the guidance of the seditionists.
We reached the [base]. Everything was secret. We were the only one who knew about it, [along with] the locals, cars that were passing by, and finally foreign spies!!! We were supposed to have lunch and wait until they told us where to go. After waiting -- which has become routine for the Basij -- the commander talked to us and gave us some old advice. When he was about to leave, everyone shouted, “What happened to lunch?!” and at the same moment the deployment order came. After some preparation they started distributing some snacks. I didn’t receive any Sandis and cake, we didn’t even get straws that we could poke into opposition leader Mehdi Karrubi’s eyes. [eds: Snacks and drinks, including Sandis juices, were reportedly distributed at some progovernment demonstrations, prompting the opposition to say participants and Basij members only go to these events for the refreshments.]
Excelent and truthful but one sided. I think you would have done justice to both sides by starting your write up from pre-1979 iranian revolution when the US removed a democratically elected govt a nd imposed their own puppet cos of their national interest |
