WEEKEND ROUNDUP: In case you missed it, catch up on our non-stop coverage of #Iran including the real motives behind the #SoleimaniAssassination to cater to pro-Israel neocon war hawks after Israel's attempt to kill him failed. @_whitneywebb mintpressnews.com/dubious-offici…
"The fingerprints of Israeli intelligence, the #Mossad, are unmistakably present in the assassination of #Soleimani. It is plausible that the attack on Soleimani’s convoy was a joint CIA-Mossad operation." #Iran. @RamzyBaroud and @RomanaRubeo mintpressnews.com/israel-mossad-…
More from #MintPress @mikopeled: "This assassination, which was an act of cowardice, one may safely assume was concocted by Benjamine Netanyahu, another corrupt, reckless coward who is fighting for his political life." mintpressnews.com/us-assassinati…
@mikopeled In early January, growing tensions between the U.S. and #Iran were eerily reminiscent of the Iraq war run up including corporate media's unwavering support of the illegal assassination of Iranian General #Soleimani. @AlanRMacLeod mintpressnews.com/in-redux-of-ir…
After glorifying the #SoleimaniAssassination on Twitter, Trump threatened to take out #Iran's cultural sites, a violation of both U.S. and international law, and another talking point about Trump's competency that has since been forgotten. @AlanRMacLeod mintpressnews.com/trump-threats-…
Thousands took to the streets in opposition to the Trump administration's "warlike actions against Iraq and Iran," after a drone strike killed #Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. @AlanRMacLeod mintpressnews.com/trump-iran-agg…
Meanwhile a special report from #MintPress journalist @AlanRMacLeod revealed that bots and MAGA supporters were pushing the #IraniansDetestSoleimani hashtag, a disturbing reminder how social media is used to promote the U.S. war and propaganda machine. mintpressnews.com/study-bots-mag…
@AlanRMacLeod While on the brink of war, a Kiev-bound Ukraine International Airline Boeing 737-800 mysteriously crashed in #Iran, leaving 176 passengers dead. @AlanRMacLeod mintpressnews.com/questions-surr…
Iran has since taken responsibility, stating they unintentionally shot down the plane due to "human error," which occurred during increased U.S. aggression against the country. @AlanRMacLeod nytimes.com/2020/01/11/wor…
On Sunday, January 5, the Iraqi parliament voted to expel U.S. troops from the country making it clear they want the "Yanks to go home." The U.S. is refusing to leave. By

But after #Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes on U.S. military installations in #Iraq last week, Trump backed down from threats to hit back "perhaps in a disproportionate manner," pulling the U.S. back from the precipice of war. @_whitneywebb mintpressnews.com/trump-backs-aw…
@_whitneywebb Make no mistake, just because Trump pulled back from an all-out war with #Iran doesn't mean the Military-industrial complex wasn't richly rewarded. Fear-mongering and the mere threat of war enriches the pockets of military contractors. @AlanRMacLeod mintpressnews.com/military-contr…
