A senior military official in Iran threatened an attack on some 35 “American targets,” including “destroyers and warships” near the Persian Gulf Friday night, promising to seek revenge for the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, according to a report.

The latest threat against the U.S. came late Friday night from senior Revolutionary Guards commander Gen. Gholamali Abuhamzeh, a day after top Iranian military general Soleimani was wiped out by an airstrike at Baghdad International Airport.

We may get to see how effective our combat lasers really are.

Those clowns aren’t very bright. They haven’t learned a thing over the last few days. Maybe he wants to die too.

Everything but their nuke facilities. That’ll be their ace-in-the-hole, especially when they get a delivery system.

We have to hit every Iranian incursion in Iraq, constantly, in Iraq. It has to be open season on hunting Iranian militants.
..........
Hard to do considering the tens of thousands of Iranians that have virtually free travel to Iraq as religious pilgrims.
...........
Iraq is also the principal trading partner with Iran.
...........
Remembering that our “allies” in Iraq, the Sunni’s and Kurds, are only about 42% of the population.
.............
Shia’s are about 52% and are concentrated in the east and south of Iraq, Baghdad and Basra where economic and political power is concentrated.
...........
A very difficult fight inside Iraq. We are at war with Iran. Some of our military just killed some of their military. THat is the definition of war.
............
We have simply chosen to fight the war in a third coiuntry, Iraq.
...........
Now, Iran is going to take that fight to American territory, our homeland, internet sites, and our embassies.
...............
We will have no choice but to take that fight to Iran’s homeland and internet sites.
...........
What will be very complicated is the choosing up of both sides of their allies, the Europeans (whom have little stomach for this fight) and the Russians and to a lesser degree the Chinese.
............
We are going to be challenged to stay in the fight as we are now oil independent, but strongly support the Kurds and mainly, the Israeli’s.

They were emboldened by Obama, who allowed them to take our gunboats and capture our sailors. Those days are over.

Does Iran have a death wish?

I’d recommend to the Iranian General that he take Obama’s approach and give us $150billion cash, a BS treaty and a sternly worded letter.

The we can immediately violate the treaty and laugh at them....

This is an international version of suicide by cop.

I’m fine with completely destroying Iran if that’s what it takes to get them to stop making war.
