#BREAKING
U.S. airstrikes take out #Iran's IRGC Quds Force chief Qasim Soleimani & Iraqi Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF) militia chief Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes

My take:
-This is targeting the head of the snake
-Far more important than killing bin Laden & Baghdadi

#Iran's dictator @Khamenei_ir announces three days of mourning

@JZarif, very close to Soleimani, describes the attack as “an extremely dangerous and foolish escalation.”

@khamenei_ir @JZarif Former U.S. Vice President @JoeBiden
“This is a hugely escalatory move in an already dangerous region... President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox..."

My take:
With such an argument, one could say killing bin Laden & al-Baghdadi was wrong, too... Shame.
@khamenei_ir @JZarif @JoeBiden This image is circulating on social media about IRGC Quds Force chief Qasim Soleimani following the recent U.S. airstrikes in Baghdad, Iraq.

@khamenei_ir @JZarif @JoeBiden Reminder about @JZarif, considered a "moderate" by some in the West:

"Soleimani & I decided to meet once a week in Tehran to discuss latest developments & coordination. We have been working together directly & up close for more than 20 years."
@khamenei_ir @JZarif @JoeBiden Iraqis long considered #Iran's dictator @Khamenei_ir & IRGC Quds Force chief Qasim Soleimani as the source of all their miseries.
Soleimani was the commander of Tehran's conglomerate of proxies in Iraq & across the Middle East, responsible for killing hundreds of thousands.
@khamenei_ir @JZarif @JoeBiden Sen. @ewarren says killing Soleimani was "reckless" & "increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict."

Me asking:
Why didn't you ever take such a position when Soleimani was killing hundreds of thousands across the Middle East?

Shame.
@khamenei_ir @JZarif @JoeBiden @ewarren Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT literally criticizes the killing of #Iran's IRGC Quds Force chief Qasim Soleimani by saying "we don’t generally (assassinate) foreign political officials."

Me:
Foreign political officials?
Seriously?!
@khamenei_ir @JZarif @JoeBiden @ewarren @ChrisMurphyCT Reminder for @JoeBiden, @ewarren, @ChrisMurphyCT & other Americans criticizing the killing of #Iran's IRGC Quds Force chief Qasim Soleimani.

"Iran responsible for deaths of 608 American troops in Iraq"
