Is Iran related to this?

Btw, source please.

This is exactly what I said in another post. Once there is chaos, all anti-American forces, supported by Iran or not, will use this opportunity to mess with the US.

Is Iran related to this?

Btw, source please.

No, it is not related to Iran but the US might try to relate it to Iran.

Nature of the attack is not clear.

Anti US forces will be in full swing now... United state must be ready to collect their dead bodies everwhere in the world

It may or may not be but the danger is some will try to settle own scores while others may just try to stir it up between the two countries and the US might just go gung ho.

This is unlikely to be connected to Iran. Many terrorist groups in the MENA and beyond will probably want to take advantage of Soleimani's demise to conduct attack against Zio-American occupiers therefore shifting the suspicion to Iran.

Iran is not related. There is some terrorist group that has taken the responsibility, but US will still relate it with Iran.

Is Iran related to this?

Btw, source please.

Al-Shabaab extremists have overrun a key military base in Kenya, killing three American Department of Defense personnel and destroying several US aircraft and vehicles before they were repelled.

The attack on the Manda Bay airfield early on Sunday was the al-Qaida-linked group’s first attack against US forces in the East African country, and the military called the security situation “fluid” several hours after the assault.

Five attackers were killed, Kenyan military spokesman Paul Njuguna said.

Al-Shabaab, based in neighboring Somalia, claimed responsibility for the assault.

One US serviceman and two contractors with the US Department of Defense were killed in the fighting, according to a statement from the US Africa Command, or Africom.

Al-Shabaab claimed that there were 17 US casualties, nine Kenyan soldiers killed and seven aircraft destroyed.

Kenya is a key base for fighting al-Shabaab, one of the world’s most resilient extremist organizations. A large plume of black smoke rose above the airfield Sunday and residents said a car bomb had exploded. Lamu county commissioner Irungu Macharia told the Associated Press that five suspects were arrested and were being interrogated.

An internal Kenyan police report seen by the AP said two fixed-wing aircraft, a US Cessna and a Kenyan one, were destroyed along with two US helicopters and multiple US vehicles at the Manda Bay military airstrip. The report said explosions were heard at around 5.30am from the direction of the airstrip. The scene, now secured, indicated that al-Shabaab likely entered “to conduct targeted attacks”, the report said.
