Revolutionary Guard General Qassem Soleimani, the powerful head of Iran's elite Quds Force, has been killed in an airstrike at Baghdad International Airport, Iraqi TV and three Iraqi officials officials said Friday. The officials said the strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias in Iraq known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, which were responsible for the recent attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. An official with the PMF blamed the U.S. military for the strike. 'The American and Israeli enemy is responsible for killing the mujahideen Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qassem Soleimani,' said Ahmed al-Assadi, a PMF spokesman.

The media is saying that Iran will now retaliate against US bases and forces throughout the Middle East. If that happens, the USA should immediately take out the entire Iranian Navy that is very vulnerable while at sea or in their based along the Iranian Coastline.

Little 0bie - - and his controller ValJar - - are in a state of shock and disbelief.
Their dreams of an Iranian superstate have been shattered. Nothing left to do - - except to turn to Reggie Love for sweet words of consolation.

Ex-Dictator and Caliph Obama was last seen weeping profusely and has issued a press release that he is gone into mourning over these deaths of his fellow America hating Islamic Savages. The rest of the democrat communists in Congress with be sporting black armbands and ribbons as a sign of mourning as a sign of solidarity with Iran tomorrow.
Nice work US military and President Trump. Nothing like a missile up the ole' wazoo of these terrorists to send a message to the Iranian savages that we are not their punk anymore.

FTA: "'At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization."
I stand corrected now from my previous statement from the Fox News article. President Trump has sure thrown gasoline, or should I say oil, into the fire that is Iran and their proxy terrorist organizations by these overt killings.
FTA: "PMF officials said five of their members and two 'guests' were killed in the airstrike on their vehicles inside Baghdad International Airport."
It will be interesting to find out who these VIP's "were", and what their countries intend to do about their deaths.
From a previous article in the Daily Mail [UK] today, a loud-mouth Iranian general claims that they can hurt US after President Trump tweeted yesterday that he held Iran responsible for the attack on our embassy in Iraq. It is important to remember, that like the DPRK, if the head of state from Iran makes the direct threat to US, they can yell and cry all they want without US unleashing the Dogs of War.
FTA: "'We are not leading the country to war, but we are not afraid of any war and we tell America to speak correctly with the Iranian nation.' Islamic Revolutionary Guards Commander, Brigadier General Hossein Salami warned. 'We have the power to break them several times over and are not worried.'

Iran is finally being made to answer for its many acts of terrorism against the United States. I was assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, Austria, in 1979 when our Embassy was taken over in 1979, and many of my colleagues were taken hostage. When our embassy in Beirut was bombed in 1983 I was stationed in Rome. Many of my colleauges were killed in that bombing. It was terrible. Later that year, in October, I was at a dinner party in Rome when we got the news that the Marine barracks in Beirut had been bombed, killing 241 marines. Some of those young guys had just completed basic training at Camp Lejeune just before being sent to Lebanon.
We finally have a President who is not afraid to take immediate, decisive action against the terrorist regime of Iran.

Perhaps this attack is intended for a wider audience? Maybe little Kim should pay attention?

I wonder if it was a Predator or Reaper, or manned air strike. How was the target lased? Just curious. We probably won't know. The response from the left will be predictable. Who cares?

I guess John Kerry and his Iranian friends will have to go back to the drawing board. Their attack on our embassy didn't work out quiet like they thought it would.
I did see one Dimocrat representative on Fox tonight calling it an attack on a foreign leader without permission from congress. I wonder how many Dimocrats in Washington D.C. knew about Iran's sponsored terrorist group's attack on the embassy before hand.

What did they think was going to happen? Trump wasn’t going to fly in a plane with $250 Billion in cash with a thank you card for them.

What was Iran's head of terrorism doing at the airport in Iraq. Sounds like he had set up headquarters for his harassment of our embassy. He should not have been at the front line directing his terrorist troops. Most generals know enough not to set up headquarters at the battlefront. Sounds like he thought he could get away with almost anything and the US would not fight back. Since the Iranian general was at the airport picking up foreign guests. Better check if John Kerry, Obama, ValJar or Hillary got injured. The Democrats have been telling the terrorists that they will be able to give them more help after the election. No wonder all the Democrat congressmen are mad. They wanted to be able to warn any visiting Democrats that they were in danger.

The leftist and liberal Democrats can be consoled by the fact that those enemies of America, the leader of who engineered the deaths of over 600 American troops over the years in Iraq, died painless deaths. In other words they never knew what hit them!

Two cars taken out. I like to imagine Soleimani being in the 2nd one to be hit, his greasy eyes going wide with fear and him wetting his pants as the car in front of him explodes.

Iran does not learn very quickly. They still haven't caught on to the fact that the muslim wimp and terrorist sympathizer who financed their weapons programs is no longer POTUS and his Iranian-friendly surrigate mother is now living on a stretch of beach on Long Island.
With a bunch of new Marines based in Kuwait and our Navy sighted in on every significant target in Iran, you would think that they would sit down and think about what they have done and stop doing it.
Why does the Daily Mail (UK) feel the need to write half their story in the headline?
