President Trump didn' have any regrets and double down the previous statements.
He tweeted his first remarks since the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, one of that country's most powerful military and political figures.
"Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!" Trump tweeted Friday morning. It was not immediately clear what Trump meant by the statement.
The president's first tweet, minutes after the news, was an image of the American flag.
Now we have a new video of the exact moment when Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani was killed.
The exact moment that Quds commander Qassem Soleimani and his associates were killed in the US airstrike at Baghdad airport was captured on closed circuit video that showed a blinding flash and blazing debris hurtling skyward.
The CCTV video taken close to the airport was obtained by the Daily Mail from Iraqi TV station AhadTV and shows a large explosion as one of the two vehicles was destroyed by precision airstrike.
Those are three nice oil refineries you have there for the entire country, Iran.
Be a shame if Trump happened to them...
This video clearly shows the strikee’s all have blew eyes.
Not clear what he meant....We know damn well what he meant...
Hmmm... that discussion as stated seems a bit questionable. Iran exports crude, but imports something like half of their refined products. So, destroying those refineries, and maybe a couple import terminals doesn’t do much to Iran’s cash flow. Instead, it does something better: As it runs out of refined products, the country will essentially grind to a halt. As a bonus, the world oil supply increases, which will help mitigate price spikes caused by increased tensions.
Correction: As a bonus, the world oil supply vs. usage increases, which will help mitigate price spikes caused by increased tensions.
Its a cool sound when you hear it on a recording.
maybe send them pallets of Baggies, and some Handi-Wipes...

Wow, they’re really dense if they can’t “decipher” that statement...
