My own is that, why will they use Iraq and do the battlefield?
Those poor Iraqis has suffered alot, that's why they asked US forces to leave, they don't wanna pick sides na by force?

Those of you underestimating Iran, remember Afghanistan Taliban is still giving US 18 years and counting serious headache.

War is not good.

Iraq made the greatest mistake , when Donald Trump called their Prime minister to help him bring Suliemani to Iraq for a peace meeting and the peace meeting turned out to be an assasination... this is why Iraqi wants US out of their soil because its betrayer to pay back Iran that fought ISIS and Alqaeda unbehalf of Iraq when US pulled out under Obama

Definitely now, because he knows that America alone is Capable on is own to handle the Situation at hand, Iran have hit the American Base in Iraq now, when America Akara will start raining on Tehran most Arabs will start shouting and burning both American and Israeli Flags, so Israel is ever ready and on standby for any external aggression that will ever comes their way from Tehran or any Arab Terrorist Country or Groups be it as it may be.

Wrong. He knows that Trump wants to pull American troops from the region. And if he sides with them in the killing of that general and Trump eventually removes American troop from MENA, Iran will focus on Isreal like never before.

So better to act like you had nothing to do with the killing.

No... pls join hahahaha
You pushed Donald Trump to this point now you are backing out? Some people would say

"Israel will make sure America fights to the last American soldier standing"

American leaders should learn how to be independent in the pursuance of their foreign policy, stop allowing Israel to dictate to you.

Efewestern what's your opinion on this?

You people commenting don't even understand what they call "Double Talk" in politics....!
Trust me when the shit start fully, Is real would be flying sorties into Iran to take out targets, their eyes have been on Iran's nuclear reactor and that they would make sure is reduced to rubble...!!
Some would here would shout..oh Russia would support Iran, but alas once the nuclear reactor is brought down, its same Russia Iran would run to to help them build another and you people sincerely think Russia would rebuild it for free? At the end its more money for Russia..!!

Russia stand to make.more money from the war simple...who no like money or see money wey him no go pick..!!

I only just sorry for Iran for picking the bait...!!

Once Iran is finally destroyed, same.world powers would be jostling for reconstruction contracts and all at the expense of Iran...!! Both that and her resources would be shared by the world powers...simple..!!

There's a kind of special danger Iran poses to these people they are not telling us. I think President Trump will eventually apologise and US pay restitution to Iran. There's this sinking feeling that Trump behaved badly in this case because he has no military background and underrated that General before approving his assassination. He could have stopped the threat without killing the war tested General. He made a mistake killing that man and should own up. Period. Unlike the celebration that greeted other killings by US forces, this one truly and really didn't sit well with Americans and that mammoth crowd at the funeral and the weeping Iran Leader was most touching. The ghost of that man will haunt President Trump.

Daz not true bro. Qassem Soleimani has been on a watch list for decades by d U.S. All along, his ploy were impeccable until his last day. America had to strike the Shepherd.

You were sounding intelligent only to come off amateurish in your views when you started mentioning the Arabs.


NEWSFLASH!
iranians are not Arabs, and no Arab country is directly involved in this, just the same way as Israel isn't.

Israel is a country that loves her citizens, being dragged into any major conflict with Iran will open Israel to several ballistic missiles, rockets etc which will result to thousands dying.

As much as Israel wants Iran weakened, they do wish US/allies fight that battle a lone, no one in the region wants to go head to head with Iran, it will be suicidal.

I doubt there will be any retaliation, but should US strike Iran from any base in the middle east, Iran will take the battle to that country.

Believe me, I'm sad about this development, war scares the shii out of me.

This is bullcrap up there. Iran pose no serious threat , but will only retaliate proportionately and not otherwise. If they attack Israel or other US allies, then world war commences with immediate effect. They know too well not to attack disproportionately .

ALSO, I saw the news on CNN last night, where the former CIA director, Pompeo , who with his affiliation with the organisation still gets ascertained Intel on serious matters like this. He strongly believes , with the Intel reaching them , there was no doubt that Gen. Soleimani posed a huge threat to lives; He was up to no good with the tab that has been kept on him for months by CIA informats posing as Iranian military in collaboration with US military intelligence.

For you to say Trump has no military background proves your deficiency of knowledge pertaining how the POTUS is to operate. Trump doesn't need to have a military background and wouldn't give any military order without any military advice and strong Intel which prompted the assassination order; He is Chief for Christ sake. There was Intel, Soleimani was welcomed by rebels in iraq ; They had a meeting but the purpose of that meeting was not disclosed.

No doubt, that he , Trump messed with the emotions of the Iraqi people and Iran, because to them , Soleimani is A hero and he was loved. If Trump were to apologise, that would be the only reason he should.
Soleimani was a loose Cannon about to fire, he had to be stopped with no warning.

WWW III are you prepared?

Isreal knows what Iran is capable of doing, so it's logical for them to back out and run quickly, Iran that's not scared of their god father US,what's Isreal?

Great news, everyone should just back off and let (Trump) face what he started alone,no African nation should involve... Motherf*ucker

This is a good decision from Benjamin

Benjamin Netanyahu has told his security cabinet that Israel should 'stay out of' any fallout sparked by the killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.

The Israeli Prime Minister told top ministers on Monday that since the general's assassination was carried out solely by the US, there is no reason to get involved.

Iran has promised a 'crushing revenge' following the strike which killed Soleimani and other top Revolutionary Guards commanders last week, expected to ramp up on Tuesday when a three-day period of mourning ends.

Top Iranian minister Mohsen Rezai, a former Guard commander, has threatened to reduce the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa 'to dust' as part of the retaliation.

Netanyahu, who has cultivated a close relationship with Trump, initially threw his backing behind the strike, praising the US president for taking 'strong' action.

But he has since banned ministers from talking to the press about the strike for fear of creating the impression Israel was involved, two ministers present at Monday's meeting told Axios.

'The killing of Soleimani is a U.S. event, not an Israeli event, and we should stay out of it,' they reported Netanyahu as saying.

The director of Israel's security service Mossad told the same meeting that the risk of an Iranian strike on Israel is low because 'Israel stayed distant from the event'.

Iran has already said it will no longer abide by any of the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal signed under Obama in response to the attack.

The Iraqi parliament has also voted to expel all US troops from the country, which Iran said signals the beginning of the end of America's presence in the region.

While Iran has not made the rest of its plans clear, it is likely that US troops based in Iraq, the embassy in Baghdad, and troops in Syria will be targeted in response.

Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese secretary-general of Iran-backed Hezbollah, said all US bases, all warships and every single soldier in the region is now a target.

'The true, just retribution for those who conducted this assassination is an institution, which is the U.S. military,' he said during a ceremony to mourn Soleimani's death in Beirut on Sunday.

The Six-Day ....history...War was a brief but bloody conflict fought in June 1967 between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Following years of diplomatic friction and skirmishes between Israel and its neighbors, Israel Defense Forces launched preemptive air strikes that crippled the air forces of Egypt and its allies. Israel then staged a successful ground offensive and seized the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. The brief war ended with a U.N.-brokered ceasefire, but it significantly altered the map of the Mideast and gave rise to lingering geopolitical friction.

ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT

The Six-Day War came on the heels of several decades of political tension and military conflict between Israel and the Arab states.




In 1948, following disputes surrounding the founding of Israel, a coalition of Arab nations had launched a failed invasion of the nascent Jewish state as part of the First Arab-Israeli War.

A second major conflict known as the Suez Crisis erupted in 1956, when Israel, the United Kingdom and France staged a controversial attack on Egypt in response to Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal.

An era of relative calm prevailed in the Middle East during the late 1950s and early 1960s, but the political situation continued to rest on a knife edge. Arab leaders were aggrieved by their military losses and the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees created by Israel’s victory in the 1948 war.










Many Israelis, meanwhile, continued to believe they faced an existential threat from Egypt and other Arab nations.

ORIGINS OF THE SIX-DAY WAR

A series of border disputes were the major spark for the Six-Day War. By the mid-1960s, Syrian-backed Palestinian guerillas had begun staging attacks across the Israeli border, provoking reprisal raids from the Israel Defense Forces.

In April 1967, the skirmishes worsened after Israel and Syria fought a ferocious air and artillery engagement in which six Syrian fighter jets were destroyed.

In the wake of the April air battle, the Soviet Union provided Egypt with intelligence that Israel was moving troops to its northern border with Syria in preparation for a full-scale invasion. The information was inaccurate, but it nevertheless stirred Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser into action.

In a show of support for his Syrian allies, he ordered Egyptian forces to advance into the Sinai Peninsula, where they expelled a United Nations peacekeeping force that had been guarding the border with Israel for over a decade.

MIDEAST TENSIONS ESCALATE

In the days that followed, Nasser continued to rattle the saber: On May 22, he banned Israeli shipping from the Straits of Tiran, the sea passage connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. A week later, he sealed a defense pact with King Hussein of Jordan.




As the situation in the Middle East deteriorated, American President Lyndon B. Johnson cautioned both sides against firing the first shot and attempted to garner support for an international maritime operation to reopen the Straits of Tiran.







The plan never materialized, however, and by early June 1967, Israeli leaders had voted to counter the Arab military buildup by launching a preemptive strike.

SIX-DAY WAR ERUPTS

On June 5, 1967, the Israel Defense Forces initiated Operation Focus, a coordinated aerial attack on Egypt. That morning, some 200 aircraft took off from Israel and swooped west over the Mediterranean before converging on Egypt from the north.

After catching the Egyptians by surprise, they assaulted 18 different airfields and eliminated roughly 90 percent of the Egyptian air force as it sat on the ground. Israel then expanded the range of its attack and decimated the air forces of Jordan, Syria and Iraq.

By the end of the day on June 5, Israeli pilots had won full control of the skies over the Middle East.

Israel all but secured victory by establishing air superiority, but fierce fighting continued for several more days. The ground war in Egypt began on June 5. In concert with the air strikes, Israeli tanks and infantry stormed across the border and into the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip.




Egyptian forces put up a spirited resistance, but later fell into disarray after Field Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer ordered a general retreat. Over the next several days, Israeli forces pursued the routed Egyptians across the Sinai, inflicting severe casualties.

A second front in the Six-Day War opened on June 5, when Jordan – reacting to false reports of an Egyptian victory – began shelling Israeli positions in Jerusalem. Israel responded with a devastating counterattack on East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

On June 7, Israeli troops captured the Old City of Jerusalem and celebrated by praying at the Western Wall.

ISRAEL CELEBRATES VICTORY

The last phase of the fighting took place along Israel’s northeastern border with Syria. On June 9, following an intense aerial bombardment, Israeli tanks and infantry advanced on a heavily fortified region of Syria called the Golan Heights. They successfully captured the Golan the next day.

On June 10, 1967, a United Nations-brokered ceasefire took effect and the Six-Day War came to an abrupt end. It was later estimated that some 20,000 Arabs and 800 Israelis had died in just 132 hours of fighting.

The leaders of the Arab states were left shocked by the severity of their defeat. Egyptian President Nasser even resigned in disgrace, only to promptly return to office after Egyptian citizens showed their support with massive street demonstrations.




In Israel, the national mood was jubilant. In less than a week, the young nation had captured the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.

LEGACY OF THE SIX-DAY WAR

The Six-Day War had momentous geopolitical consequences in the Middle East. Victory in the war led to a surge of national pride in Israel, which had tripled in size, but it also fanned the flames of the Arab-Israeli conflict.







Still wounded by their defeat in the Six-Day War, Arab leaders met in Khartoum, Sudan, in August 1967, and signed a resolution that promised “no peace, no recognition and no negotiation” with Israel.

Led by Egypt and Syria, the Arab states later launched a fourth major conflict with Israel during 1973’s Yom Kippur War.

By claiming the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the state of Israel also absorbed over one million Palestinian Arabs. Several hundred thousand Palestinians later fled Israeli rule, worsening a refugee crisis that had begun during the First Arab-Israeli War in 1948 and laying the groundwork for ongoing political turmoil and violence.

Since 1967, the lands Israel seized in the Six-Day War have been at the center of efforts to end the Arab-Israeli conflict.




Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt in 1982 as part of a peace treaty and then withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, but it has continued to occupy and settle other territory claimed in the Six-Day War, most notably the Golan Heights and the West Bank. The status of these territories continues to be a stumbling block in Arab-Israeli peace negotiations.
