Iranian leaders issued strident calls on Friday for revenge against the United States after the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani in an overnight airstrike at the Baghdad airport. The strike spurred mass displays of public mourning by Iran and its network of allies across the Middle East.
Today multiple rockets hit a military base in Iraq on Saturday where U.S. troops are stationed while mortars were fired at a high-security facility that houses the U.S. Embassy, according to multiple reports.
Reuters reported, Several rockets fell on Saturday inside Baghdads heavily fortified Green Zone, its Jadriya neighborhood, and the Balad airbase housing U.S. troops.
But it seems that this is just the beginning!
For the first time in recorded history, the symbolic Red Flag of Iran has been hoisted up over the holy dome of the famous Jamkarān Mosque, which is located in the city of Qom.
Me too! They're really great for drying the dishes, or keeping the sun off your neck. And if you're out in the woods somewhere, and don't have any toilet paper along, the ol' "Red Flag of Doom" can save your butt (one time only ;^)!
I am not a neocon, but Iran has spat in our face repeatedly. They have earned what is coming to them.
Ours.....or theirs?
Should be able to make quite a few bandanas out of that flag after it is town down.
Are they playing deguello too?
Oh, so we are playing capture the flag?
town down > torn down
A couple of courses of penicillin would probably do the trick.
Yeah, plus neosporin and a couple butterfly bandages should do it.
It is always dangerous to make such judgements before the start of a war.
These are not stupid people. They have wargamed all of this.
Lets talk about how easy they are when we are done. Our Military better be planning as if we are going up against China and Russia at the same time.
Warning to everyday Iranians: if a Mullah offers you his cellphone - and suggest you drive around the countryside... don’t do it!!
They'll take it down, or the Iranian people will take it down and replace it with the severed head of Khamenei, or, we'll take it down. [singing] ka-boom, ka-boom, ya ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta...
How can you have increased tensions when there already increased on a daily basis?
Iran’s RED flag has always been flying even when you couldn’t see it.
