If true, this means major players in Iraq are working with US-Israel and U.K. to counter Iran in a more effective way.

"Msjor players"
Trump is calling in the bets.

Air strike kills Qassim Soleimani, head of Iran's elite Quds Force, and senior militia official at Baghdad airport The Telegraph Iranian Major-General Qasem Soleimani, head of the elite Quds Force, and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were killed early on Friday in an air strike on their convoy at Baghdad airport. "The American and Israeli enemy is responsible for killing the mujahideen Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qasem Soleimani," Ahmed al-Assadi, a spokesman for Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces umbrella grouping of Iran-backed militias, told Reuters. State television reported Soleimani's death in a breaking news alert, citing sources from Iraq's Hashed al-Shaabi military force, which is dominated by Shiite-majority factions close to Tehran. US officials said strikes had been carried out against two targets linked to Iran in Baghdad. Three rockets hit Baghdad International Airport, killing five members of Iraqi paramilitary groups and two "guests", Iraqi paramilitary groups said on Friday. The rockets landed near the air cargo terminal, burning two vehicles.

The security official said the bodies of those killed in the airport attack Friday were burned and difficult to identify. The official added that Reda may have been at the airport to pick up a group of “high-level” visitors who had arrived from a neighboring country. He declined to provide more information. The attack came amid tensions with the United States after a New Year’s Eve attack by Iran-backed militias on the US Embassy in Baghdad. The two-day embassy attack which ended Wednesday prompted President Donald Trump to order about 750 U.S. soldiers deployed to the Middle East. The breach at the embassy followed U.S. airstrikes on Sunday that killed 25 fighters of the Iran-backed militia in Iraq, the Kataeb Hezbollah. The US military said the strikes were in retaliation for last week’s killing of an American contractor in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base that the U.S. blamed on the militia. US officials have suggested they were prepared to engage in further retaliatory attacks in Iraq.

first Dem response NO News ‏ Verified account @BNONews 3m3 minutes ago More U.S. Senator Chris Murphy says Soleimani was an enemy of the U.S., but adds: "Did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?"

And this is why Iran wishes that Hillary Clinton had won..she would have just sent them BILLIONS more of our money to pay them off..and of course she would have kissed their asses like Obama did

John Kerry must be on the phone right now to the yatollah grand poobah. "Hang in there, we're going to get him out this year, just wait, the money will start flowing again".

Obama, Kerry, Hillary are s__ting bricks.

They’ll be up all night working on the media narrative unlike when they went to bed after hearing the Benghazi compound was under assault.

Lefties: This is an amateur move by an incompetent POTUS! His ego is going to start WWIII! The Iranians will be completely justified in escalating violence! PDJT just put all of our armed forces at risk! He’s recklessly getting us into another war!

PDJT: We know who you are, where you are, where you’re going. These men are responsible for many US & Iraqi deaths, they got what they deserved. They died like powerless dogs! Their replacements had better change their thinking or they’ll receive the same treatment. Our forces executed brilliantly, brilliant execution!

Fox News is reporting it on TV.

Knock it off

Sad but true

[Keflavik76]

That’s a nice touch. Always throw in, “they died like powerless dogs”! The ME only understands a strong horse.

SeeBS just broke into local programming and stated this may a act of war.
