No need to worry djebel, the Trump Administration is on a unity ticket and all over this.Thumbs Up

Trump: We committed an act of war to stop a war.
Pompeo: Americans are safer now, but evacuate Iraq immediately, you're not safe.

Pompeo: We're de-escalating.
Esper: We're sending more troops.

People in Baghdad are said to have danced on the streets in celebration after the killing of Iran’s top security and intelligence commander. General Qassem Suleimani died in the early hours of Friday in an air strike ordered by President Donald Trump. In the months before the drone strike, Iraqis had angrily protested systemic corruption, a lack of basic services and Iranian domination of Iraq’s government. Footage seemingly shows locals laughing and smiling as they excitedly run down the streets. They are also seen chanting and jumping as they wave Iraq flags. The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, posted another video he claimed showed Iraqis dancing in the street ‘thankful that General Suleimani is no more’.

Personally I do not this will escalate into WW111

Iran doesn't operate that way Bob. They aren't stupid enough to engage in a hot war in the ME with the US.

Their proxies throughout the region will start putting in train actions to revenge this guy. Americans and American interests throughout the ME from Syria to Afghanistan and in Nth Africa cannot sleep comfortably for years. The threat from Revolutionary Guard, Quds officials overnight that US blood will run in the streets of the ME does not mean an attack is imminent.

We aren't safe here being allied to Trump and having troops in the ME. Remember these people, Iranian Hezbollah have carried out terrorist attacks in Argentina and in South east Asia in recent years.

I tend to think WW3 has pretty much been ongoing since 9/11, just a different landscape.

Pretty sure Iran would've started WW3 by now if they could. Terrorism is a new form of war on a global scale, sure, but can't be compared to the 2 world wars.

No more stupid wars.

US 'targeting' 52 Iranian sites if Tehran attacks

President Trump has warned the US is "targeting" 52 Iranian sites and will strike "very fast and very hard" if Tehran hits Americans or US assets.

His comments followed the US assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian general, in a drone strike on Friday.

Iran has vowed to avenge his killing.

Mr Trump wrote on Twitter that Iran "is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets" in response to the general's death.

He said the US has identified 52 Iranian sites, some "at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD" if Tehran strikes the US.

"The USA wants no more threats!" Trump added.

The president said the 52 targets represented the 52 Americans held hostage in Iran for more than a year from late 1979, after they were seized at the US embassy in Tehran.

The war is in good hands.

Gen Milley announced a US withdrawal from Iraq before-

NEW: Gen. Milley just came back to talk to reporters, after briefing us minutes ago, to correct the record on the Iraq memo making the rounds: "That letter is a draft, it was a mistake, it should not have been released."


 Dear Iraq, We're withdrawing.
Best,, US Military Dear Iraq.

Dear Iraq, We're not withdrawing.
Best. US Military

Dear Iraq, Sorry for all the letters, but wanted to make sure you got letter re: withdrawal.
Best. US Military

Dear Iraq, To clarify, non-withdrawal.
Best. US Military

Exasperated Iraqi PM can’t understand how USA can send a letter “clearly talking about withdrawal” and then say its a mistake. Prime minister’s overall message is: how disorganized is the US administration?

You should read some posts on US forums about the Iranian missile strikes - "Woo hoo time to rock the casbah!" etc.

Benjamin Netanyahu told a meeting of his security cabinet on Monday: “The assassination of Suleimani isn’t an Israeli event but an American event. We were not involved and should not be dragged into it.”

The Saudi deputy defence minister, Khalid bin Salman, was in Washington on Monday to urge restraint, joining a growing international chorus.
