Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Iraqi officials that U.S. intelligence showed Iran-backed militias moved missiles near bases housing American forces.
Pompeo made the disclosure to Iraq’s top brass during his surprise visit earlier this month, Reuters reported. The revelation comes just hours after all non-emergency personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Iraq was ordered to leave the country.
He asked the military officials to keep the Shi’ite militias in control as they are expanding their presence in the country and now are part of the country’s security apparatus. The top diplomat warned that otherwise, the U.S. would have to use force to tackle the security threats.

But they will lose in the end.
Yeah what’s more plausible?
That Iran wants a war with THE UNITED STATES?
Or we are being sucked into another war to fight for the Sauds.
Hell we’ve been their bitch forever, even let their role in 9/11, which killed 3000 and a few friends, slide.
Destroy them from the air and don’t put ONE BOY on that sand!
Why would it take “intelligence” to discover this supposed fact? Why couldn’t our military see it in real time? How big are these “rockets?”
No, Iranians just kill you.
64% of Iraq is Shia. 33% is Sunni... and Pompeo has discovered they have found their way into the security forces. He’s a bright one.
And to ensure the Sunni’s remain in control, we may have to use force.
Washington DC is a Sunni government.
Really?
Or are the neocons trying like hell to start a war with Iran?
BUFFs (B-52s) had standoff capability in the 1980s, if Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising is to be trusted.
Someone is trying to start a war?
Why, yes, they are.
I really feel the deep-state would be conducting this operation regardless of who was President. Trump may believe it himself, or he is merely along for the ride.
Any coincidence that the coup against Trump was started by Brennan - a former communist, and crypto Muslim who converted to Islam while on station in Saudi Arabia?
When it comes to murder and terrorism, the Sunnis lead the pack. ISIS, 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Beslan, Bataclan, Nice, London sidewalk x 3, Berlin sidewalk, Fort Hood, the Pulse, San Bernadino, the Boston bombers, Ariana grande concert in England, beheading a British soldier in London, beheading a grandma in Oklahoma, the shoe bomber, the underwear bomber, etc etc...
All Sunni, all with Saudi or Gulf State roots.
I REALLY WISH John Bolton was NOT on the Trump team, he never saw a war he didn’t like!!! I believe Trump will NOT put our boys and girls in harms way!!!
On the other hand, it could be that Trump believes in a “Carrot and Stick” approach, and Bolton is the “stick”.
Target the Mullahs in their homes and Mosques.
No, Iranians don’t discriminate. They want to kill us all.
So let’s say, G_d forbid, that a volley of missiles is fired into a U.S. base. Who then do we hit? I guess it all depends on who is behind the attack. It could be:
A. An Iran-backed militia.
B. Saudi agents.
C. Israeli agents.
D. CIA Deep State agents.
Take yer pick.
[Yeah what’s more plausible?
That Iran wants a war with THE UNITED STATES?
Or we are being sucked into another war to fight for the Sauds.]
Yet another opportunity to bust Iran. Man, the hubris of Iran’s leadership is astonishing.
