 “This attack resulted in numerous explosions. The PMF prevented Iraqi security forces from getting close to their attacked site,” he added. Data shows the site was host to several Iranian IRGC Quds Force officers who were killed during the U.S. airstrike attack.
3)
 This airstrike took place immediately after several Katyusha 107mm rockets targeted a military base hosting international coalition troops near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

Simple questions for Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT

1)
 Why did you meet @JZarif in secret? If you discussed what you claim, why not do so in public?

2)
 How do you explain your ties with #Iran's DC-based lobby group @NIACouncil?

3)
 We Iranians believe #NIACLobbies4Mullahs. How about you?
@ChrisMurphyCT @JZarif @NIACouncil Regarding Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT's secret meeting with @JZarif:

"Such a meeting would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government..."
thefederalist.com/2020/02/17/sou…
@ChrisMurphyCT @JZarif @NIACouncil "The meeting was not officially sanctioned by the U.S. government and appears to have been held in secret to avoid media scrutiny. State Department officials have been clear that they did not play any role in facilitating the meeting or backing it."

#Iran has decided to directly respond against the #US assassination of #IRGC commander #QassemSoleimani and #Iraq commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes
#Iran #IRGC cmdr #QassemSoleimani movement was not a secret because it was understood that his killing will create a response.

He was killed in #Iraq by a #US order and #Iran will hit the #US by Khamenei order.

That will drag a wider confrontation

#Iran #QassemSoleimani commander was due to visit #Turkey President Erdogan and had a visit scheduled to #Lebanon.

His trips were known for many. The assassination will not at all affect Iran military and operationally because no one is indispensable.
