Do you expect him to retaliate to killing them since there was no casualty

Trump said and I quote "any damage to a property of the United States would be met with a stiff response" he never specified people

Your comment reeks of ignorance. According to you, the Iranians are still developing their nuclear weapons, while the US has been known to even used theirs as far back as 1945, this shows that they are miles ahead of the Iranians not even considering the military might of the two states. If this issue eventually escalates, of course the Iranians are expected to cause some damage on American interests outside of the US, but can the same be said concerning the US.
Your own comment reeks of illiteracy. I said they started the program in the 20th century. They'd no doubt have developed one by now

Don't mind the guy jor, he doesn't even know that some of the scientists the US used to make the first nuke in the Manhattan project are Jews, Israel needs the US backings to counter the likes of Russia. The Arabs have always found the Israelis a hard nut to crack since their state was established

But you've easily forgotten how a small guerilla group in Lebanon chewed the entire Israeli military like kolanut around 2006. They began to beg for mercy and solicit divine help from the USA . An Iranian commander told them whatsup several months ago abd they started panicking. Forget about what your pastors and the Bible brainwashed you with, be factual.
Church my foot!! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you mean the whole Arab nations had to attack the Israeli defence forces in Lebanon before they pushed them back. If you really think they're that strong and mighty let them attack Jerusalem, at least the Israelis have attacked Lebanon so many times

Well, I knew that Iran would make mouth to protect it's ego and then stage a downplayed/watered retaliatory attack.
I bet you that no country wants to go to war with the United States, not even Russia (And if not Russia then it can never be anyone else) As for China, China would rather keep doing its bussiness than participate in any war at all. China will always be in the middle because it needs the United States to grow its economy more than the whole of the rest of the world, the same way Iran needs the US to grow it's economy.
I lost sympathy for the Iranians when I heard that the Obama administration gave Iran 150 Billion dollar! and an additional 400 million dollars as part of the peace deal initiated by the United States. Guess what, instead of Iran to judiciously use this money to grow its economy and provide livelihood for it's people, they went and use the money to buy armouries and weapons of mass destruction in order to fight the same person that gave them the money. This singular act makes it clear that Iran values conflicts more than human lifes and livelihood.
Let's be frank, Iran do not understand negotiations and diplomacy, the language they understood of course is WAR! My prayer is that may any country such as Iran never become the world power, otherwise the whole world will be soaked in blood.

You made no sense. America, China, Russia and other world powers spending billions on weapons love War abi ? If you don't want to be an Asslicker or a puppet improve your Arsenal. Imagine sitting in your house a Drone hits you after you've made lots of money you just loose everything in a split second. But advanced countries can detect a drone or intercept it, that's part of protecting your sovereignty.
You've the shallow mentality of our politicians who just think of Economy and thier pockets and forget having good Arsenal make you stand out.


India and Pakistan have good Arsenal despite their Economy. The mistake Gadaffi and Sadam did was neglecting their Arsenal that's why there were killed like chickens in their land.

If Kim of North Korea Arsenal is not strong America would have invaded him like they did to his dad in the 1950's.

If you want to be respected have a Nuclear weapon. '' If you want peace prepare for War ''

Do you know what ambush mean?
do you know what assassination mean?

They had to do this through betrayal and in another country

He was killed while trying to attend a peace meeting

Yet you are hailing such cowardise

why did they not do the assassination inside iran? if they are so good, while kill a defenseless man?

only cowards fight like that!

They know they can't get to the man inside iran, so used a friend to lure him to another country and even killed a general from iraq in the process.

Cowards fight this way

now they are trying to negotiate without precondition fearing loss of heavy assets and probably lives too because they know Iran won't go down without a severe fight!

How do you read and analyze? To the reaction that trump is already talking peace I replied that BECAUSE HE HAS ACHIEVED HIS OBJECTIVES. Does that reply connote that I supported Trump Action ? It does not mean that I don’t support him either. I am simply responding. So don’t be hasty in your judgment Oga.

Why are you people this daft?

They informed the Iraqi government because they didn't want to cause another trouble of killing foreigners on their own soil. The Iraqi government informed the Americans . That was what happened. Or you think they are terrosit like the USA where they'd kill a terrorist in a foreign soil? No these iranians are intelligent. Moreover it was just a warning strike. If they wanted it to be brutal, they wouldn't have told anyone. Don't be dull, read and digest.

Please read and do proper research before spewing false information on a public forum.

USA didn't give Iran money. The Obama administration only returned the Iran government money that was frozen by the USA government as part of nuclear compliance deal. The money was never owned by the USA.
