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.
That’s what you have to love about these guys, they live about 900 years in the past.

It’s almost as funny and hysterical at the thought of iran preparing for war against the US :)
Iranian leaders to the military:
And remember, while you’re out there risking you’re life and limb through shot and shell, we’ll be in be in here thinking what a sucker you are.
“they are trying to scare/worry the feeble minded US citizens and media, who have been announcing what a failure we and Pres Trump are...”
It’s working on the lib commenters at Faux.
Wait, don’t tell me, the mother of all attacks is coming, right?
I had to drive about an hour and a half for work, so I did something I never do, I switched on NPR. They talked to a journalist (leftist, of course), A Democrat Senator (Murphy from Connecticut), someone from a progressive think tank, and a Muslim activist. Not surprisingly, the consensus was decidedly anti-Trump. I just started laughing...
They obviously didn’t get the message being communicated. Hit them again harder.

Kinda nice of the mullahs to assist with our targeting, wouldn’t you say?
Good
Really???
Lock on target.
Preferable to the original version...
Soon to become the Holey Dome.
In response, Pelosi just hoisted the Brown Friut of the Loom
Trump aimed some comments their way to let him know he endorses any efforts they may see fit to exert...of course, they tend to kill protesters over there so, unless we find ourselves marching on D.C., it’s hard to condemn them.
Kind of a catch 22 - many of us who would love to see the Iranians rise up also say we shouldn’t be involved...and they would need help.
Red Flag of Boom? Yeah, we can help with that.
Did you ever watch The Burns and Allen show from the 50’s? That sounds like a comedy sketch from Burns and Allen. :)
Is that like the “Line of Death”?
