I guess the Iranian mullahs are set on testing Allah’s virgin supply chain...good luck with that.

Oh on, President Trump mistake the Red "Fire" Button for the "Panic" Button.

>>n a statement, Iraq’s military said the U.S. air strikes hit four locations in Iraq that housed formal Iraqi police and military units, in addition to the paramilitary groups<<

the holy Shi’ite Muslim city of Kerbala

Think you'll ever read this from Reuters: "the holy Christian city of Bethlehem"?

Kill em All and let Allah sort em out. Nancy is sad. Too bad.

The name that is being rumored for the Iranian General supposedly killed, is General Siamand Mashhadani - but that is not the name of any known Iranian General.

It may have been a code name or Nom de Guerre (an Arabic Kunya) for an Iranian officer trying to be covert.

The US has not claimed that any General was killed.

Oops, our bad.
