The question is, did Qassam Soleimani helped in any way to avert the attacks on US embassy in Baghdad when he was still alive? Available proves shows that he rather aided/ abetted and directed the attacks. If he was actually helping the US it wouldn't have gone unnoticed cry

The Fact of the Matter is That the Sanctions on Iran by the USA crippled Iran and its officials..

Iranian igc are known to fight through their proxies ..

Iran is a nation with Some great citizens but Extremists jihadist leaders.. Their Hatred for Isreal is out of this World...

Jerusalem ( The city of David) is the Target.. but it's in vain..

Most of the Fights you see in the Middle East is what I Term " The Hands of Esau but the voice of Jacob"

Hezebollah
PMF
Hamas
Yemenis fighters
Are all proxies of iran..

The Blowing up of Saudi Aramco was purely the Iran Igc..

The Killing of the American contractor in Iraq was purely the Iran igc

The Destruction of the USA embassy in Iraq by The PMF was the Hand of Iran..

General Suleiman was with Vice Commander of PMF when they were targeted !

Iran Greatest Enemies is Isreal...

The sight of Isreal runs their leaders mad..

Their Issue with American is because of the US support for Isreal
Nigerians and "I too know".

One will wonder how Nigeria is like this with the many scholars about things happening elsewhere.

I still believe Trump should have gone about it codedly and not openly killing someone on another man's soil when there is no war. Now both Iran & Iraq enemities will deepen.

Am sure he wasnt around during WW1&2 cos if he was he won't be going about it like its a game of chess forgetting that a lot of innocent countries will be wiped out.

Anyways, I pray there is no war o but if there is I will just hide inside our deep freezer. Abeg make una check all deep freezers u see after war grin grin

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.

the assassination was a wrong one no matter what international laws should be respected,I don't know if he was a terrorist or not,but you can't perform a military strike on a sovereign territory without consent,if every other nation should do it American style the world will be in chaos.no nation should be above international law or bend the law just to suit your perspective.

So in summary, Trump lured the general into iraq to kill him.

At best he killed the general to curb iranian influence and future attacks.
And at worst, he killed him in order to avoid a peace meeting between Iran and Saudi arabia which was scheduled to take place in iraq. And if this peace occurs, it would have meant America won't be able to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia any longer.

Im believing the 2nd reason is the real reason. Greedy bastards!

Don't be fooled by the source.
This is not proper news from independent. This is a propaganda opinion written by a pro-Iranian columnist.


Iraq’s prime minister revealed that he was due to be meeting the Iranian commander to discuss moves being made to ease the confrontation between Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia – the crux of so much of strife in the Middle East and beyond.

No. The commander is a diehard Shiite militant.
He wasn't in Iraq to discuss peace, he was there to meet with rebel top commanders.
The prime minister should have at least name the Saudi General who also came for peace
but since such General does not exist, he surely can't be named.
This is 2020, Generals are never used for peace negotiations as they have vested interest in
war. If Iran was interested in peace, it would have sent a diplomat, not a warmonger.

Saudi will never reach out to Iran for peace because they are no fools.
They are both interested in middle east dominance and there can only be one winner.
Besides, no country negotiates peace in an enemy territory. Iraqi government is largely
beholden to Iran via the Shiite ties. Saudi would have to be dumb to propose a peace meeting
via the Iraqi government.
There will only be peace when it becomes too costly to fight.


The prime minister also disclosed that Donald Trump had called him to ask him to mediate following the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad. According to Iraqi officials contact was made with a number of militias as well as figures in Tehran. The siege of the embassy was lifted and the US president personally thanked Abdul-Mahdi for his help.

The fact that you can call terrorists to order via proxy proves that Iran indeed ordered the embassy attack via its militia wing.
Soliemani killings was a revenge for the embassy attack.

its very funny.when you are the one killing its ok, but when you are the one killed, it becomes wrong that can not be tolerated.
Snowale:
Though, these can't lead to any world war, but the truth should be said. Why would U.S just invade someone else's country and kill someone, because he was tagged terrorist. If that's the case, why can't U.S. just help us kill Nnamdi Kanu, because Nigerian government tagged him and his group terrorists. Hundreds of thousand of Iranian and Iraqi came out to mourn his death. Nnamdi Kanu would also be mourn by the Igbos, if killed. There is different between a "tagged terrorist" and a "terrorists proper", Souleiman was loved by his people, and they are not happy with U.S being on their land, U.S should take her soldiers away from Iraq and Iran and should let go their oil. This is more of politics than war, just like in the case of Nigeria.
