SOLEIMANI ASSASSINATED BY U.S. FORCES, IRAN CALLS IT "A DECLARATION OF WAR" Gary Thursday, January 02, 2020 Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestGo To CommentsPost A Comment BREAKING NEWS FROM BAGHDAD: The leader of the Iranian Quds force, Qassim Soleimani, routinely called the top terrorist mastermind in the Iranian government, has been killed by U.S. forces at the Baghdad International Airport. Other top military leaders were also killed in the attack, including the second-in-command of Hezbollah, Deputy Secretary-General Nail Qassem, as well as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of the Iran-backed militia known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF. This comes on the heels of the Iranian-sponsored attack on the U.S. embassy in Iraq's capital. If Trump wanted to send a message to Iran, this was the biggest message that could be sent, short of outright war. Soleimani was widely considered to be the single top target in the Iranian government, and the brains behind Iran's international terrorist efforts. Will his death be the next Archduke Ferdinand moment, or will Iran now back down? "World War 3" is trending on Twitter. Updates forthcoming. Please stand by.
