I'm just annoyed by America saying they don't want a war by starting a war and then shifting the blame. If they didn't want a war they wouldn't have killed a guy the Iraqi Pzm invited at the request of the Saudis.

The General is the most powerful guy in the region by a country mile probably why trump wanted to take him out

Right or not is up for discussion

To be fair the US didn't start this for once. Iran have been carrying out multiple attacks for several months now and the US have just retaliated.

there won't be a ww3.

a few skirmishes either side, if America ever feels truly threatened then hello nuclear arsenal goodbye Iran

none of Irans allies care that much about them to take on the US.

night and day situations from Europe in the early 20th century and their vast empires getting dragged into it

Of course it's fecking wrong, it's an act of war! This isn't just some stateless terrorist, he's one of the most powerful people in that country. What the feck did that orange twaaaat think was going to happen after doing that?

To be fair, Iran didn't start it.

Hijacking UK oil tanker was in response to the UK doing the same to an Iranian one.

Shooting down a US drone which came into their territory (they claim while US claims otherwise).

The embassy was attacked after US killed people (the people in the same group as the people who were killed attacked the embassy).

Saudi oil fields attacked after they killed plenty of civilians in Yeman.

"Let me say tonight, if you are watching television in Iran, I just got off the phone to the president - your fate is in your own hands in terms of the regime's economic viability. You continue this crap, you're going to wake up one day out of the oil business."

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham

Just in case anybody didn't know what this is about.

The CIA has been in Iran for decades, assassinations and regime change. The only reason those diiick heads have power in Iran is because they overthrew an American puppet leader and they have the nerve to say Iran started it.

I'm praying Boris doesn't get involved, the last thing we need now is another war and retaliation against civilians in the streets who have feck all to do with these decisions.

Boris will get involved. We always follow the Yanks and he'll do so in order to get a trade deal through. You know the yanks are going to link the two. Even if they didn't, we'd follow them.

Iraq’s prime minister revealed that he was due to be meeting the Iranian commander to discuss moves being made to ease the confrontation between Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia – the crux of so much of strife in the Middle East and beyond.

Adil Abdul-Mahdi was quite clear: “I was supposed to meet him in the morning the day he was killed, he came to deliver a message from Iran in response to the message we had delivered from the Saudis to Iran.”

The prime minister also disclosed that Donald Trump had called him to ask him to mediate following the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad. According to Iraqi officials contact was made with a number of militias as well as figures in Tehran. The siege of the embassy was lifted and the US president personally thanked Abdul-Mahdi for his help.

There was nothing to suggest to the Iraqis that it was unsafe for Soleimani to travel to Baghdad – quite the contrary. This suggests that Trump helped lure the Iranian commander to a place where he could be killed. It is possible that the president was unaware of the crucial role that Soleimani was playing in the attempted rapprochement with the Saudis. Or that he knew but did not care.

One may even say that it is not in the interest of a president who puts so much emphasis on American arms exports, and whose first official trip after coming to office was a weapons-selling trip to Saudi Arabia – during which he railed against Iran – to have peace break out between the Iranians and the kingdom. But that would be far too cynical a thought.

Abdul-Mahdi spoke of his disappointment that while Trump was expressing his gratitude over the mediation, he was also simultaneously planning an attack on Soleimani. That attack took place not long after the telephone call from the president.

There is also the possibility that the US military planners knew nothing about the conversations between Trump and Abdul-Mahdi, and took out Soleimani when the opportunity presented itself.
