Trump and Pompeo are slowly running mad. Is it the same Iraqi Militia who was instrumental to the destruction of ISIS in Iraq that USA now want to call terrorists?

The same Suleimani along with the kurd forces helped protect about 1million Christians in Syria as he destroyed ISIS in Syria as well is now who USA calls a terrorist?

God is watching. I am a Christian but something about all USA is doing and saying this time is not right
US is the problem, US CIA ones pleaded with suleimani to give clues on how to defeat ISIS.

The problem the world has today is the US. It gets even worse when gangsters and semi crazy folks like Trump are at top of affairs. Iraqi parliament just voted to expel every foreign millitary presence out of its territory..(US, NATO) The also have voted to lodge a complaint with the UN against the US for abuse of its territorial intergrity and the assasination of the General and others.

The killing of the Iranian General will change the dynamics in the middle east. Countries like Saudi Arabia who are are odds with Iran know it was a wrong move. Several European countries have extended their condolences to the Iranians. The EU foreign secretary has invited the Iranian counterpart to Brussels. As countries like Britain call for restrain, top politicians like Jeremy Corbyn have condemned the assasination while asking the UK PM to take a firm stand against it. Already several Democrats are skeptical about claims of imminent danger posed by the late General. Once upon a time America said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Two years later after immense destruction it was known to be false intelligence.

Lots of comments here are laughable. Kids whose only experience of international warfare are Hollywood scripts. Others have aligned their allegiance along religious lines..The US knows it is not a matter of "IF", but "When" Iran strikes. Iranians are not cowards and the after shock of the Generals death will be felt for years to come. The average Nigerian is ignorant of facts, using sentiments as a base for argument. Those living in the US can feel the heat of Iranian threats whilst those in Nigeria chose to brand the threads as cowardice. Ask most if the know about the Iranian revolution of 79 or the Vietnam war and they will tell you of the adventures of Burna Boy.

To all those calling bluff get your camera phones and be thrilled to some real life action in the coming weeks. Like I said it is a matter of when and not if.

To the people that dosen't know much about the timeline of event between USA and Iran, and those of you that always claim Iran are terrorists for standing up against bullies, let me summarize a few:

During the 1950s, USA was wary of communism and trying to clip the hands of the soviet union (communists) around the world.

During the 1950s, the British owned Anglo-Iranian oil company (Now known as British Petroleum) controlled Iran's oil refining capacity.

In 1951, the Iran government under PM Mohammed Mossadegh told the British that majority of the funds from the refined oil should go to Iranians, the British rejected the idea, the Iran government responded by nationalizing the British refinery in the city of Abadan.

Winston Churchill UK new PM was furious about this and he suggested to the CIA (USA) that the Iran communist party (Tudeh) is getting powerful and that they are taking over the country. The USA feared a communist country and they were drafted into Iran's case.

In 1953, the US and UK jointly began a coup against Iran in Operation Ajax (Planned from the USA embassy in Tehran), this coup deposed Mossadegh and put the power in the hands of the Shah. The Shah ruled with an absolute monarchy (Iran was practicing democracy before the coup).

People hated the Shah because they see him as a western puppet, also accused him of unpopular policies coupled with the harassment from his secret police called SAVAK. The SAVAK were trained mostly by American and Israeli military.

In 1979, Islamic revolution happened in Iran installing Ayatollah Khomeini. The people knew the USA planned the earlier coup from the USA embassy in Tehran, so to make the new revolution succeed further, they laid a 444-day hostage crisis in the embassy. Iran became enemies to the USA. Although conspiracy theories said USA supported Ayatollah indirectly (USA has always been double faced).

During the Iran-Iraq 8-years war. US heavily arms Iraq to oust increasingly successful Iran and then secretly armed Iran too to save them from Iraq. The Iraqis were led by Sadam-Hussein.

The west later fell-out with Sadam Hussein and invaded Iraq. The USA noticed that Iraq and Iran are starting to get closer because the majority Shia of Iran were visiting the holy sites in Iraq as the Baathist regime was removed. Ties grew between Iran and the new Iraq.

The USA accuses Iran of supporting terrorism because they are opposing the USA continued presence in Iraq. Iran school of though was that if USA remains in Iraq successfully, then they can invade Iran in the future.

George Bush label Iran as the axis of evil and they were accused of building atomic weapon. The USA sanctioned them and the Iranians signed an agreement that they will not pursue atomic weapon for 10 years if sanctions were lifted in 2009.

Trump broke the treaty, increased pressure on Iran which led to the current provocations and hullabaloo.

USA has a powerful weapon of the media. The always label opposing minds terrorist and with the current stigma on Islam, it is not hard to convince people. For all of you, Buhari labelled Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist which all of us knew he was not. If the USA suddenly drop a bomb on Nnamdi Kanu due to that pronouncement will you be happy?

Note: I love USA coz they are a great country but sometimes they use their power to oppress the weak. Truly this world politics is like the animal jungle where the powerful oppress the weak.

WASHINGTON -- The United States has designated Asaib Ahl Al-Haq as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), saying the Iraqi militia is a proxy for Iran.

The U.S. State Department statement on January 3 said that it was also sanctioning two of the group’s leaders.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the militia and its leaders "violent proxies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

The State Department said Asaib Ahl Al-Haq, also known as the League of the Righteous, is backed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, which has been similarly designated by the United States.

The State Department said it also designated Qais al-Khazali, leader of Asaib Ahl Al-Haq, and his brother Laith al-Khazali, another leader of the group, as specially designated global terrorists.

Such designations will freeze the U.S.-related assets of the group and the two leaders, generally ban Americans from doing business with them, and make it a crime to provide support or resources to the militia.

The move comes hours after a U.S. drone strike killed the powerful commander of the elite Quds Force in an attack in Baghdad, igniting outrage in Iran.

Qasem Soleimani, one of the most powerful military men in Iran, was killed in an attack on two vehicles at Baghdad’s international airport in the early morning hours of January 3.

Tehran has vast influence and supports many Shi'ite militias based in neighboring Iraq. Baghdad has attempted to balance its relations between the United States and Iran, both of which provide crucial military and financial support to the struggling government.

A war scenario between US and Iran will play out like these in the battlefield but, do remembered that it will be remembered as the shortest and most brutal (on one side) conflict in recent history. The US will drag Iran just like a father beats up his neighbors son.

Iran's will first release their first grade missiles (mostly antic Russian missiles and a few SU300 missiles into Isreal and US bases. These missiles will 100% be intercepted by Patriots defense system and the most advanced missile defense system in the world known as the Aegis.
