Brian Hook, U.S. Special Representative for #Iran

Terrorists were protesting outside the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. These were orchestrated by the Iranian regime. These are the kind of tactics they use... directing terrorist groups to attack our embassy.
Brian Hook, US Spec. Rep. for #Iran

-Recent protests in Iraq against Iran's domination.
-Iran running expansionist foreign policy.
-Tehran does enjoy the support of the Iraqi people. That does not represent the views of the Iraqi people who want Iran out.
“Any attack by an Iranian [trained and equipped] militia, the Iranian regime will be held accountable,” said U.S. Special Representative for #Iran Brian Hook.

Jan 4 - Baghdad, #Iraq
Iraqis are saying no militia leadership attending the funeral processions of #Iran's IRGC Quds Force chief Qasem Soleimani & Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF) militia deputy Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

Me:
They got the message.

My take:
Iraqi PM Adel Abdul-Mahdi is known to have very close relations with #Iran's regime.

Holy cow! Senior militia leaders killed in American strikes in Iraq, and could include Iran’s Qassem Soleimani or one of his top aides from Iraq. Beyond insane.
So far confirmed — the Pentagon is saying two senior operatives “linked to Iran” were targeted.

Iraqi TV claims that Qassem Sulaimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were killed.

If true, this is no doubt the most significant/consequential killing probably in a decade.
Whoa! Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi (iranian-backed popular mobilization forces) is reportedly confirming that its deputy and Qassem Sulaimani have been indeed killed in American strikes.

- How #Iran🇮🇷 is waging war on U.S via their proxies in #Iraq🇮🇶
The storming of the U.S embassy compound in Baghdad is happening in the presence government and paramilitary officials including Faleh Al Fayadh, Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis and particularly Hadi Al Ameri along with their Iran-backed militias & proxies.
While al-Amiri’s political party has sought to downplay its role as an IRI proxy, al-Amiri himself remains loyal to Iran’s Supreme Leader. In 2015, al-Amiri said of Khamenei that he “is the leader not only for Iranians but the Islamic nation. I believe so and I take pride in it.”
