2/ I interviewed witnesses, including family member & friend of 2 men killed in the marshes, who said the men were unarmed except for one. Among dead a 32 yr father of two & an unemployed 24 yr engineer.
3/ A local reporter who investigated the killings confirmed to me they were from the poorest neighborhood, almost all of them ethnic Arab minority & their protests were peaceful. This reporter was banned from telling the story.

#breaking Iranian media is claiming possible Iranian ballistic missiles launched at a base which houses American troops in Iraq. This is what Iranian media is claiming. Its big if true.

@akhbar
U.S. defense official confirms that Al Asad air base in Iraq's Anbar province has been hit by at least 6 rockets tonight.

Not clear yet if Iran (and not one of its Iraqi proxies) fired them.

1: The key here is the reaction of the people.

Most Iraqis don't like the Iranians and the Iranian influence. The anti govt protests there were against a govt controlled by the Iranians and against the Iranians themselves. The PMUs were the ones using snipers to shoot protesters
2: With regards to #Iran, this is a big event that can't go without retaliation. The situation can easily lead to a full scale war. Everybody in the region is now preparing for the eventuality of war.

If conflict starts, It'll be a regional war including Israel, Hezboallah, etc
3: Let's not even talk about the price of oil if conflict starts. This is the oil hub of the world & doesn't matter is a country is self sufficient in oil or not. Oil follows an international price. So if the fireworks go in big scale, oil will skyrocket & the economy 👎
