Irans response to President Trumps decertification of the nuclear deal, teased all week and finally made official on Friday, includes a mixture of belligerent rhetoric, ominous threats, and uncertainty about whether the deal can survive. Belligerent rhetoric poured in for days as decertification became a certainty.
Among the latest examples was Brig. General Esmail Ghaani, deputy commander of the infamous Quds Force, declaring that Iran is ready to bury President Trump.
We are not a war-mongering country. But any military action against Iran will be regretted. Trumps threats against Iran will damage America, Ghaani said to Irans Tansim News Agency, as reported by the UK Independent on Friday.
We have buried many
like Trump and know how to fight against America, the general added. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was sanctioned as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Treasury Department on Friday, although the State Department did not formally label it a terrorist organization, the harshest measure that could have been taken.

We are not a war-mongering country.”
In a way he’s correct. “War” I’s too dignified a word for what they do. They’re sneaky, cowardly terrorists.
They still remember Hulagu Khan.
Firan. It should have been rubblized in 1980.
Esmail is being impolite and has no wish to live. By the way, Esmail is an Arab name, and Iran is an Arab culture. In fact, many of its people are descended from Arabs—especially its leaders.
You make a powerful analysis, assuming all that you say is true, of some major strategic breakthroughs. When things come to a head, and they will, I sure do hope that we have some pre-emptive surprises in place — surprises that would render Iran’s command/control systems inoperative; surprises that would set their nuclear aspirations back 25 years.
And, if all you say is true, you have studied very deeply into categories I could scarcely guess at.
Anecdotal post: Last Time I was in Beijing I went to the Forbidden City. On the way in there are several check points/security areas you had to go through, our guide told us that they were set up to get the Muslims out. If it is true or not I don’t know, it was still interesting to hear.
“We Have Buried Many Like Trump”
I doubt it. For one thing, Donald Trump is a totally unique individual, there are few even on par with him.
Lots of much better people than this Quds commander, BG Esmail Ghaani, have attempted to knock off The Donald, but if they do not pull off their best shot, they won’t get a second chance.
Not vey relevant to the main topic technical correction:
2015: In December 2015, members of Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq kidnapped 29 Qatari falcon Houbara bustard hunters in the Iraqi desert only to release them over a year later in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in ransom.
Yeah? That’s what the DNC, Hillary, Megan Kelly, and numerous others have said. So far, they’re the ones scrambling to get out of the ground...
