Trump on Soleimani strike: 'His reign of terror is over'

[TheImmortal]

He thinks Americans will be just sitting there, twiddling their thumbs, watching the ballistic missiles on the radars hurtling towards them and that's it. Iran simply wins.

Well they certainly won’t retaliate with a nuclear strike against a conventional strike.

The immaturity on this board is outstanding. Everyone here is an armchair general with nuke codes. They think every conflict the other power will use nukes.

So far India and Pakistan been shooting each other for decades and neither one has the balls to use nukes first.

Iran will not do anything. US is way to powerful

How about 'a prince' ?

The messianic doomsday you crave is not for men to decide.

iran should revenge his death by killing american general in Iraq or in Afghanistan

Afghanistan would be the best option, directly or as part of taliban operation.

Afghanistan would be the best option, directly or as part of taliban operation.

American troops are more vulnerable in Afg than anywhere else due to the mountainous terrain and large Taliban manpower.

 

[IronHeart]

Today, The Iranians learned that a new sheriff is in town, And their behavior doesn't go unnoticed. Hat off to president Donald Trump for putting these clowns at their places.

Exactly. well said.

Iran going after a US General is stupid. US generals are manufactured like cars. They carry no strategic benefit for Iran. Kill one and another one takes his place with no change in policy.

Iran’s strike will be much more strategic and long lasting.

But what would that look like?

That's the question.

To be fair, this general was a murderer. He killed thousands of sunnis. He was famous for saying that killing sunnis is sawaab more than killing kafirs.

Great propaganda and lies.

Sunnis don’t need Shiites killing them, Sunnis have been killing each other for decades.

Whats was Iranian general doing in Iraq in the first place ?

Whats was Iranian general doing in Iraq in the first place ?

Meeting with Iraqi parliament blocs to break the deadlock over a new PM.

How about you read the news from time to time.

That's just propaganda, hashd al shaabi/pmu has Sunni, Christian and all kind of factions and they worked together against ISIS.

President Donald Trump, in his first comments since he ordered the drone attack that killed Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani, said Friday that the general's decades-long campaign of terror across the globe has finally been ended.

In brief remarks at his Mar-a-Lago resort in south Florida, Trump said Soleimani, who commanded Iran's Quds Force, had been caught “in the act” planning "imminent and sinister" attacks on U.S. diplomats and the military.

"We caught him in the act and terminated him," Trump said in a brief address, adding, "His reign of terror is over."


Trump delivers remarks on U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian general

Trump had tweeted about Soleimani earlier in the day.

"General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more ... but got caught! He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number .... of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself," Trump wrote in a series of tweets.

"Over the last 15 years, Iran has gained more ... and more control over Iraq, and the people of Iraq are not happy with that. It will never end well!"

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani responded on Twitter, writing, "The great nation of Iran will take revenge for this heinous crime."

The strike came amid escalating tensions between the Trump administration and Tehran over rocket attacks aimed at coalition forces in Iraq. U.S. officials have said those attacks were likely carried out by Iranian-backed militias with links to Soleimani's Quds force.

Trump is a pawn, I doubt if he was even consulted for this assassination or not.
as for reign of terror comment I do agree with him. Solemani was a big hinderene toward the Americans and their aliies project of Daesh and Jamat AL Nusrah etc.

might is right and Americans show no respect for any country, they killed the Iraqis in this strike as well. shows the level of frustration this guy gave them in their middle eastern project.
the Daesh wont be terrorized anymore.

on the other note I fear for Arab states they are willing/ unwilling pawns of this American and Israeli game, they have to host American bases as well in the name of safety but these very Americans might occupy them one day in the name of security. Iranians have legendary resolve and they can fight for centuries their military might be defeated within weeks by the Americans but their people are extremely nationalist and they wont rest and keep striking Americans for years to come.

we are also the unfortunate neighbor and will bear the brunt like the Afghanistan war and then will also face the blame for supporting Iran when the things wont go American way. they crippled Iran with economic sanctions, they have assassinated their leadership, instigated uprising inside Iran to topple regime and and have now started a direct conflict too.

lets see if Iranians loose their mind and play into the hands of Americans or they frustrate the Americans the way that guy did.

from Pakistan point of view and as a neighbor I feel sad that when it comes to a power like America, there is no stopping it from committing crime whenever it wants. it invaded Iraq on false pretext and is responsible in the killing of millions of Iraqis, it invaded Afghanistan and let Osama escape from tora bora in the beginning and is responsible for the deaths of Afghans and Pakistanis. there seems to be nothing that can stop it or confront it beyond words of caution and restraint there is nothing more which has made American policy makers even more brazen.
Americans have no love for Syrians or Iraqis or any other country, this assassination was done because he was a hurdle in their Middle eastern plans he and his regime might be very bad and oppressive and there maybe racial and sectarian reasons why his death is great news for some Arab countries but Americans are no angles as well.

Any high ranking official from any intelligence agency of any country needs to think twice from now on before traveling to a conflict zone. This includes everyone ! There is no longer any deterrence for any official. NATO, Indian and Pakistani generals will be really worried before traveling to Afghanistan for instance. Turkish generals will be also worried before traveling to Libya. Same applies to Russian generals in Syria and Donbass. The line has been crossed which had been shown by Trump.
