After President Donald Trump ordered the airstrike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the leader of Iran's Quds Force, leaders in Iran gathered to formulate a response. Many warned of a "major escalation" after the airstrike, even though Trump's action came in response to the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, for which the Pentagon blamed Soleimani. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed "severe revenge" but stopped short of declaring war on the U.S.
"Dear Iranian Nation! Years of sincere, brave efforts fighting against the devils& villainous in the world & yrs of wishing for martyrdom on the path of God finally took the dear Commander of Islam, Soleimani, to this lofty status. His blood was shed by the most barbaric of men," Khamenei said in a statement.
The Supreme Leader praised Soleimani as "an eminent example of a person trained in Islam" who "spent all his life in struggling for God. Martyrdom was the reward for his tireless efforts over the years."
Khamenei vowed that Soleimani's "efforts & path won't be stopped by his martyrdom." Instead, "by God's Power, rather a [Severe revenge] awaits the criminals who have stained their hands with his & the other martyrs blood last night. Martyr Soleimani is an Intl figure of Resistance & all such people will seek revenge."

We must know where he lives. He makes a move and I’ll bet our man in the White House escalates it until FraudCo cries.
The Resistance will Revenge?
Right move by our magnificent President. Attack American citizens on American soil and retribution will be swift and devastating. The Ayatollah understands this.
Democrats and liberal press are against this killing of a terrorist but my oil stock is soaring. I sold my gold stock too early though.

Haha. Ragheads sure do talk pretty.
Our embassy in Iraq is our sovereign territory. Iran already declared war on us when they attacked it. Killing their guy who engineered it is an appropriate and measured response.
I thought we were in a declared war with Iran since 1979??? Que pasa???
I think you're right... Iran doesnt want to wage war against Trump... Our greatest risk of war with Iran will be with some future democrat President who is afraid of war but unwilling to pay Iran the billions theyll want.
This is a “Line of Death”, you cross it, you die!
You cross this line, you die!
You cross this line, you die!
You cross this line, you die!
Ok, that’s it, you come knocking on my door, I’m not coming out! Nyaaaah!

We need to watch any moves on Iran's part to reach out to North Korea...
Then he can use the War Powers Act to finish off Iran by eliminating their ability to light a cigarette or boil a pot of water.
Right on! President Trump warns Iran, better change your ways.
iran will deploy their much feared navy.
There “will be war?”
Seems there has been war since Iran’s inception.
Ayatollah Khamenei and his regime is now between a rock and hard place. This could spur an Iranian overthrow of the Ayatollah.
Trump eliminated a ruthless murderer of many including Iranians. This could be the end of the Khamenei regime.
Fingers crossed.
The bearded mullas are already at war with us. If they try something, Trump will reply in kind. If bammy were president, he’d be asking them if they want more money, and can he betray the USA some more.
Hissy fits are not war. They’re funny.
Ah. SO that’s where Obama’s red crayon went.
