Iran promised to seek revenge for a U.S. airstrike near Baghdad's airport that killed the mastermind of its interventions across the Middle East, and the U.S. said Friday it was sending thousands more troops to the region as tensions soared in the wake of the targeted killing.
The death of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, marks a major escalation in the standoff between Washington and Iran, which has careened from one crisis to another since President Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal and imposed crippling sanctions.
Another airstrike almost exactly 24 hours after the one that killed Soleimani hit two cars carrying Iran-backed militia north of Baghdad, killing five people, an Iraqi official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters.

Funny how well our military ops work when we don’t tell congress or leak it to those we’re trying to deal with.
BOOM-shaka-laka-BOOM!
Medical Convoys they say. You know it was NOT a Medical Convoy when they claim it was a Medical Convoy.
More messaging to the Ayatollah. And, others. We can take you out when we want to take you out.
All Iranian military in Iraq should be targeted.
This is a great time to setup and arrest Dems in Congress who mouth off. Plan a bogus op, Leak it to th Big 8, and find out who is the traitor(s).
We can take you out when we want to take you out.
I remember President Trump making a statement that he would rather do drone strikes or special ops missions and knock out the terrorist leaders then get tangled up in long deadly expensive ground wars.
...and NO bacon.
For three decades terrorists have used Red Crescent (Islamic Red Cross) vehicles to transport weapons and terrorists. Islam is short on both ethics and morality.
What was the last thing that went through these terrorists minds? Their a$$@s.
“Iraqi official says airstrike hits cars carrying Iran-backed militia north of Baghdad, kills 5”

This is a major blow against the ayatollah Nazis in Iran. The American Nazi ministry of propaganda media will be bitching about this for the next six weeks. We can help the process along by mailing these pigs letters, calling them Nazis. Nothing pisses off a commie more than calling them Nazis.
Medical convoy? Hmmmm.
Must have been going to the baby milk factory.
DEFINITELY!!
I like the cut of your jib
I guess that they aren’t familiar with the phrase “There’s a new Sheriff in town.”
The baby milk factory with the hand-lettered cardboard sign? I remember that.
So do they get their own official 3 days of mourning or I think the Iranians should just mark January 3rd as a new national holiday
Also sending a message to the Iranian protestors...
