لعربية عاجل @AlArabiya_Brk التلفزيون العراقي الرسمي يعلن مقتل أبو مهدي المهندس و قاسم سليماني #العربية_عاجل https://alarabiya.net.....translated........ Urgent for Arabic @AlArabiya_Brk Official Iraqi television announces the killing of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qasim Soleimani # Arabic_Iaj....

BREAKING: #IRAQ OFFICIAL TV ANNOUNCES #IRAN IRGC LEADER QASSEM SULEIMANI IS ASSASSINATED.

ALSO KILLED HEAD OF KATAIB HEZBOLLAH ABU MEHDI MUHANDIS

Hard to understate how big this is

• Qassem Suleimani is Iran’s most powerful mil figure in Region

• He runs Iran’s proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq

• Both men designated by US as Terrorist

• Muhandis was at US embassy attack protest, calls himself “Suleimani soldier”

In some circles Suleimani talked about as possible heir to Iran supreme leader.

Whoever carried this out has opened a different phase of confrontation with Iran inside Iraq and out...

XLProffessor...This is a massive escalation of historic proportions. It is one thing to do targeted killings of terrorist leaders, this is the assassination of a major figure in a nation state, like Iran assassinating Mike Pompeo or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

Trump told them there would be hell to pay. So now they are paying up in hell. Promises made promises kept.
