Iran/Iraq
Lots happening fast. Missile strike killed at least 5 senior Iranian military officers including:
Qassem Soleimani & Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis - Iranian Quds force
2nd in command of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Naim Qassem
US marines arrested Qais AlKhazali and Hadi AlAmry.
All key players involved in the embassy attack and iranian supported militias in Iraq.
US is warning all civilians to avoid Iraq and are warning that they expect more attacks. Esper in as statement said the US will conduct preemptive strikes as they see fit.
The Iraqi army and much of the govt is relatively neuteral.
Thanks for the ping!
Glorious Victory Tonight!
Hadi al-Amiri was captured tonight by Marines
Esper says they will conduct preemptive strikes as they see fit...
I’m ok with that!
