The half life of ranking Iranians terrorist leaders in Iraq seems to be getting shorter each day.

That is probably good for our side.

“It would seem Iran / Iraq is a bad neighborhood these days.”

Probably not as bad as Chicago or Baltimore

The GCC is making their move to clear out the Iranian Terrorist Leaders. I suspect this will escalate.

Looks like things are getting warmer for Twelver Shia Marja’ Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei. Now is the time for maximum pressure on Iran. I wonder if Kerry will be in contact with his former counterparts over there, to ease their concerns.
