How is Iraq US mainland?
By the time US responds, you'll see Iranians on PressTV and Aljazeera crying and shouting human rights.

Iran said Trump didn't have congressional approval before killing their man. I really hope Iran had congressional approval before attacking a US facility with rockets.

Trump would rain bombs on whoever gave them approval and the surviving Iranians would get the memo.


He never even said that Iraq is US mainland.
The US military might be far more powerful but the Iranian military is no pushover, they can hurt the US badly in many ways. Nobody in Iran is talking about the approval of congress, the Iranian parliament has already named the US military a terrorist organization for it's activities in the Middle East, you don't need the approval of any congress in Iran to attack terrorists or to conduct retaliatory attacks.

US will pay dearly for this folly. Killing a government official OPENLY (Not in a war theatre) and admitting to it, is the most foolish thing that has been done since world warII.

What Trump had effectively done by Killing Soleimani is that he has established that in this war of attrition between nations killing foreign diplomats is a fair game.

I repeat, going after a diplomat and killing him publicly is a no-no and I believe the US will regret this action, and this may hurt trumps chance of reelection. Iran is no pushover!!
I agree with you 200%, just heard the guy was even on a peace mission to Saudi Arabia, when he was assassinated. To crown it all, the stupid Trump of a dude admits to it openly. Mehn!!! You can see Pompeo and Pence contradicting each other on why they killed him. They have no credible reason!!! Bleep!!

Other presidents had the option to dispatch Soleimani, but they forewent it because US already had Iran in a good place.

Mr. Impeached could not seat still because new impeachment evidence against him was coming to light by the hour, so he went to do what he predicted in 2011 that Obama would do to get re-elected: declare war on Iran.

Iran is three times bigger than Iraq, and US spent more than a decade warring Iraq. Anyone who says It'll be easy to wipe out Iran must be eating a plate of half-fried akara with a can of Black Bullet.

I have been saying this, people are looking down at the Iranian military. They might be less powerful than the US but they're no pushover. Iran wields lots of power and influence in the Middle East and they can hurt the US in many ways. And the democrats in congress are already planning to vote to limit Trump's activities in Iran.

Other leaders have been trying to get rid of General Qassem Soleimani though, dude has survived several assassination attempts from Isreali, US and Saudi secret agencies over the past 20 years.

sadThe war has started. USA and Iran have carried their problem to Iraq, Iraq that did not know anything is going to suffer too. But Iran get mouth o, Sha they should make sure they don't make mistake and send any rocket to Nigeria. CNN reported that there are Iraq casualties, they have not said anything about their soldiers yet
Dont mind CNN and BBC, they always support AMERICAN, someone we never hear if their is any casualties in US, That why I prefer Al Jazeera than any other broadcast.

I expect Trump to react within the next 24 hours. He had promised to hit Iran so hard and fast should they retaliate. But that will be very foolish of him. Americans have more to lose if this crisis escalates beyond this.

Since there's no casualty, no American life was lost, I expect Trump not to strike back and de escalate this conflict. It's going to do the world a whole lot of good and Americans importantly.

They went to Iraq to effect regime change ,how did that work out ?because the government there is still pro IRA
and Russia,you.think Iraq is Iran?
greggng:



Nobody is saying Iran will be wipe off the earth ...That will depend on the method the employ to fight USA. USA still love Iranian people . A good number of them are USA citizens. The good news is that USA will never lose a war against Iran whichever method the adopt. That is a guaranty...Another truth is that Iran will become the battle ground not USA ...After there will be regime change and rebuilding will take place. USA capabilities are not in doubt ....They went to Iraq to effect regime change...that was why it took sometime ....in this case is question of inflicting the greatest pain on Iran's critical infrastructure and human capital ....is going to involve more technology than physical man power

Qassami is no diplomat oga ..he is invariably a terrorist.. The USA military intelligence have been tracking him for more than a year now..USA has concrete evidences he is behind killings of us citizens and military in us bases in iraq and recent explosion in us embassy in Baghdad.. Trump has the backing of the Senate and congress for that qassami killing..Iran shouldn't have attacked us base in Iraq..They are not a diplomatic country.. I believe they have wanted this a long time ago.

You speak without objectivity from both ends.Get your facts right. Suleimani was no diplomat. It is akin to say Shekau is also a diplomat. Iran's meddling all over the middle east is unprecedented. Imagine if there was no balance of power by the USA.Don't get me wrong I am absolutely not a fan of America.This man had American blood in his hands and was planning more through their usual proxies.

Iran is a push over,it is your economic base that sustains a war.The US can hit mainland Iran,but hardly can Iran hit mainland America.

Iran claims they have killed over 70 U.S soldiers following their attack on U.S base, U.S deny they suffered any casualty, several news outlets reporting only Iraqis soldiers died in the missile attacks.

studentofTruth:
This is a planned attack that would allow Iran to get their revenge without hurting U.S. citizens, which would force the US to respond militarily.

The US was aware of the attack before hand — the reason they moved their men and equipment earlier before the rocket attacks.

You can see that in Trump's tweet.

Back channel diplomacy

That is the most mild mannered Trump tweet I have read....

All is well, coming from Donald Trump..

Will you shut up with this ignorance. Trump Never got approval from congress or Senate he acted alone and congress is mad at him.

Plus Soleimani was on a peace mission in Iraq which Trump knew about but still chose to kill him. Killing him is not even the main issue.

How can USA claim Iraq Is an ally yet in the attack that killed Soleimani an Iranian they also killed 3 top ranking Iraqi military officers .

You killed an Iranian top official on Iraqi soil without Iraqi knowledge but still killed 3 of Iraqi top officials too even though you claim they are your ally?

USA bleeped up big time

By the grace of God i can now go to sleep with my TWO eyes closed knowing President Donald Trump got my back, no more underground plots of terrorism that goes on and nothing happens as it used to be the case during Obama era, now its fire for fire, if you think you can disturb world peace Trump will TAKE YOU OUT! To hell with Islam!, let them do their worse, they are known for it anyways but they will and must not MISS paying for their mistakes with THEIR OWN LIVES.

According to US laws, the iranian revolutionary guard is a terrorist organisation hence the justification for his murder. Besides the guy is a known evil.
