An adviser to Iranian president Hassan Rouhani last night dropped a chilling hint of an Iranian attack on Donald Trump's property empire after the death of military commander Qassem Soleimani.
Hesameddin Ashena shared a link to a Forbes article listing nine of Trump's properties in New York as well as hotels and golf courses elsewhere in America.
The properties are no secret, and many of them are named after Trump, but the post by a senior Iranian adviser was a clear hint of a possible strike against Trump's real estate empire.
Iran has already threatened the White House and the Rouhani adviser declared yesterday that Tehran's 'sole problem is Trump' rather than the American people - dropping another hint of a direct reprisal against him.

lol good one.
The U.S. is a hornets nest, but Trump still has to think strategically. For all the talk of unleashing all out hell, or some sort of ‘shock and awe’ campaign, remember that Iran is really up against the ropes and getting desperate. Like I said before they even nailed Soleimani, Trump shouldn’t let them troll him into attacks on their soil. It would be exactly what they want at a time like this when they are so desperate to turn the world against the U.S.
Getting Soleimani may seem like an escalation to a lot of people, but it was not an attack in Iran’s sovereign space, and it had a LOT of strategic value, as well as a response that appeared relevant to their recent attacks on our people in Iraq as well as the embassy.
It’s going to be very very hard not to overreact when the time comes. We can let the world see Iran as the bad guy, or we can overreact and take that upon our head. In fact, since we are basically energy independent now, it would hit much of the world harder if Iran went after oil as their target. I think they know this though. This is going to get interesting....
“It will be difficult, politically, for Trump to retaliate heavily for an attack against his personal property.”
Nope, it won’t, Trump’s property being on American soil and said American soil being attacked by a foreign power. Not to mention that an attack against Trump by a foreign power is a attack against America, since he is our elected representative.
Nothing astute about such a move, except maybe in the minds of Schumer or Pelosi.
True, he can be accused of that, but a terror attack is still a terror attack and needs to be dealt with.
Perhaps this will push Trump to act against those 52 targets a little sooner than expected.
take the threats seriously and expel all diaperheads from our country immediately to avoid any “homegrown” attacks...
I’d say the 1st response (ie., right now) would be to make very public Hesameddin Ashena’s home address and any assets / property. For fun, include precise GPS coordinates where appropriate.
“Tehran’s ‘sole problem is Trump’”
Ah, so the Mullahs are Democrats.
Yeah, right. Real genius move that would be. /s
What in the actual bleep is wrong with you?
And the Democrats are fine with this.
Let me simplify it. Obama and team Democrat was paying billions to both Shia and a Sunni operatives. Trump is not paying. Iran’s Shia Control Iraq, and have been involved in terror in Syria and other places. They unwisely thought they could attack US interests to get Trump to rethink paying them. Trump showed them we don’t pay terrorists, we kill them.
Too simple. It depends on what you understand by ‘terror in Syria’.
Once again the Iranian government proves it has no problem with civilian casualties. In fact, it relishes them. Killed hundreds of it’s own citizens for protesting just a couple weeks ago.
Cuz there are never civilians in any Trump owned property!
What a dull mind, I fail to follow your logic
Of course it was. We occasionally eliminate terrorist enemies of the state in this manner.
How would you prefer it get done?
“Likely customers of Trump hotels will rethink future bookings which will have some economic impact on the Trump family short term.”
Do you think Trump cares, or factors that into his military decisions?
“Although killing him will empower terrorists in the region and will result in deterioration of US influence in ME and beyond.”
Judging by the attack on our embassy, I’d say the terrorists were quite ‘empowered’, and this empowering was from their now-dead leader.
As far as influence goes, we were losing well before taking out this bastard, as Iraq was going Shiite and wanted us less and less...and much (maybe most) of this deterioration was due to the guy we just nabbed.
“If Iran attacks a Trump property, and Trump retaliates with military force, the Democrats will impeach him again for using the US military for personal business affairs. A number of GOP Senators might concur.”
It’s this kind of ‘head in the sand’ that has forced gay marriage in this country.
How about we FIGHT for once, be it social issues, or people who are KILLING Americans?
“Do you think Trump cares, or factors that into his military decisions?”
To date I do not.
Exactly!
One’s man terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
Then I will state it more simply for you.
Suppose an incendiary bomb goes off in a storage room in the Trump Hotel in Vancouver, causing property damage, and the hotel needing to be evacuated, but no injuries or deaths.
Would that give Trump an excuse to bomb Iran? Democrats would not agree. No deaths, and the attack did not occur on US soil.
How eager will people be to visit any Trump property after that?
My point is, that the Iranians will try to perform actions which will harm Trump personally and economically, but which they hope will not give him an excuse to go after them militarily.
