Well trump isn’t going to take it lying down so depending on the damage there will be missiles going back their way most likely
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trump should nuke himself and do us all a favour
I think there will be some skirmishes on either side but ultimately Iran will back down. Iran’s influence on the Middle East has been growing over the past few years and the US (and Saudi) wanted the assassination to happen so as Iran would get back into its ‘box’.
Not saying it’s the ‘right’ and ‘moral’ thing to do but from a power play standpoint, it was a move that they chose to take.

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.

If its true about the calls i can't see Iran backing down anytime soon... Saudis and Trump look to have set him up
And i can't see anyone believing military planners new nothing about the calls
Ultimately... I think Putin will step in before it before it goes into full scale war... Donnie loves him more than his own country
If this assassination wasn’t so high profile and public, I doubt Iran would have done anything. Iranian scientists have been assassinated by the USA/Israel in the past and those confrontations have hardly made the news.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strange how some people just chose to ignore facts and instead, post sentiments.
Iran (via an Iraq based proxy) started this round of hostility by attacking a US site killing one US contractor while injusring others.
The US responded by attacking 5 sites of this proxy militia located in Syria and Iraq killing 25 militias.
Next came the US embassy siege for 2 days.
The US responded by taking out the Iranian general (responsible for the funding and arming of these militias).
Now this attack on 2 US sites.
We don't know what will happen next. But please stick to facts.

I love how you call it a ‘round’ so you can ignore the fact that the USA has been destabilising Iran for almost 100 years.
A round.... lmao
IRAN made a big mistake getting by attacking America...THIS EXACTLY WHAT AMERICA WANTS! Trump plays stupid but he is not stupid he knows what he is doing.
Iran has little to no chance against USA and if drags on to full-on war we will have another two dysfunctional states in middle east Iran and Syria.
Iran should have instead played the Russian and Chinese cards, develop nuclear weapons, make allies with USA enemies.
Once powerful, play the game as China does now...unfortunately they will probably be taken down by Americans.
Murkins elected a carnival barker and the clown's trying to take attention away from his 'peachment! SOB won't be happy until he drags the rest of the world into his drama. They sent the wrong drone for the wrong clown.
Yee-Ha!
Donny just blamed Obama for selling Iran the missiles which hit the US bases in Iraq. Another lie.
Poor basterd has been obsessed with black people since he put out a two page spread asking for the death penalty for 5 young innocent African Americans on false rape charges.
