Qassem Soleimani is first senior official to reveal Tehran’s ambitions in Hashemite kingdom.

A top commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said this weekend he believed Tehran had the ability to control events in Jordan, as it does in Iraq and Lebanon.

Qassem Soleimani, commander of the elite Quds force — the foreign wing of the Revolutionary Guards — was addressing a youth conference in Tehran. His remarks were the first time a senior Iranian official has openly discussed Iranian ambitions in Jordan.

We need to send the First Family and John Kerry personally to negotiate a peace IMO.

Nice job Obama.

The resident Farsi speaker in the White Hut is no doubt pleased.

Iranian commander: Today Iraq and Lebanon, tomorrow Jordan

Shouldn’t this headline be:

Iranian commander: Yesterday the White House, Today Iraq and Lebanon, tomorrow Jordan

shibumi :" The resident Farsi speaker in the White Hut is no doubt pleased."

Yes, pleased now that "The Joos" will be surrounded.
Now with the secret negotiations with Iran on nuclear armlaments (which will not be released)
one can only guess what will happen.
Allahu FUBAR !!

From Matthew 24 KJV:

"2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

"8 All these are the beginning of sorrows."

Somehow your (I assume) typo "armlaments" seems strangely appropriate.

What's amazing that Tyrannical regimes (Nazi Germany, USSR, N. Korea, and Iran)never hide what they plan on doing.

It's all out there, in the open, publicized for all to read.

YET, just as in the 1930’s the West CHOOSES to ignore and dance around it, much to our peril.

The most absurd part is that the POTUS is paving the way for empire building, Iran style, with Nuclear weapons...
