BRKG ***CONFIRMED... Iran's Qassem Soleimani killed in US airstrike*** (i.e. BUCKLE UP!) - Iran counterattacks

I'm wondering if the new sanctions on Iran will cause them to make another retaliatory strike against the US? OR, if they will just stay quiet for awhile, after shooting down this airliner? I can't make myself believe that all this is over and done with.

Well, if they made the ketchup pattern square, it would run off the slice. It's possible you're overthinking this. :)
The symbol does not follow the slice it is sideways so not doing a triangle in the shape of a pizza slice ??

Reuters: SENIOR IRANIAN GUARDS COMMANDER SAYS IRAN WILL TAKE "HARSHER REVENGE SOON" AFTER MISSILE ATTACKS ON U.S. TARGETS IN IRAQ - TASNIM NEWS AGENCY

I haven't been keeping up and am only skimming thru all of this.

I don't even know or remember how many Iranians and Iraquis or their ranks or positions in gov/mil were killed and/or injured in that strike when we took out Soleimani, but it makes a difference.

Soleimani was not buried until after the attack on our bases the other night so, none of it was in revenge of his death. It might have been for a minor player or for those injured or maybe even for the humiliation of the US taking him out, but it was not revenge of Soleimani's death. So, more to come at some future date.

Top Journalist Warns That Iran Firing Missiles At U.S. Troops Is Not How They’ll Retaliate

Hadith 4:269 - The Prophet said, "War is deceit."

I just have a gut feeling that they are not done, yet. Meanwhile, we are lulled into a false sense of peace and security...

From RNC Research on twitter:
Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was seen laughing and joking around while her colleague discussed US casualties in Iraq, during a House Progressive Caucus press conference on Iran on 1/8/2020.

I dislike all Dems and especially Omar. Isn’t that incredibly disrespectful of her, to treat her senior Congresswoman like that! I can’t believe how stupid she is!

I don't think Sheila Jackson-Lee is going to take too kindly to that kind of disrespect behind her back. The Squad might get some old school learnin' handed to them.

I would doubt they have the ability to guide a missiles that accurately. Anyway, don't most Mid-east missiles have a school, hospital or apartment complex homing device built in?

Since 4 of the 15 missiles they fired failed, they definitely have quality control issues but I have read they have very accurate guidance systems, something like 3 meters of where they aim.

Well, Iran was warning on FOX earlier today that their revenge attacks would continue! I guess they meant it.
I was hoping it was bluster like claiming they "killed" 50 Americans the other night when they killed no one, but if they start it up again it is on their heads.

I've heard the same thing, and if that is true, then they meant to miss the other night. Now figure out why.

On news Iran is saying they didn't shoot down plan. So the answer is, they did it. They're using "it wasn't me" defense.

It was bluster like saying that no Iranians were killed
when in fact some large number of Iranians aboard a Ukrainian Airliner were killed

Raven, the passenger list always including quite a number of Iranians, it just also had a lot of citizens from other countries - this is really getting tedious, and I think the public announcement that the US thinks the plane was shot down (as do quite a few other countries) is a lot more immediately important.

But even more important is if Iran is starting to lob projectiles at Americans again, that could lead to a re-run of the other day only with a lot larger action by the US.
