At first glance Im on the fence on this one nigas. I always said USA is not as stupid as starting a hot war with Iran but seems my expectations of US stupidity were lacking
It seems this General was a hero for Iran vs ISIS and helped Shias in Iraq as well as main person in charge of coordination with Hezbolla in Syria and Lebanon and Houthis in Yemen.
But also seems this general eould travel freely and without any fear around middle east. I believe he truly believed in his diplomatic immunity. He was actualky traveling to Iraq from Lebanon in a regular plane and was picked up by Iraq diplomatic security vehicles qnd forces which means US also murdered legit Iraqi security forces.
The more and more I read seems this is a huge deal as another level has been set by USA. Diplomats from either side are now open season. I think this was a huge up. I still dont think will be an open war. Iran is too smart to get baited. But any american diplomat or not remotely close to the ME is in huge danger and needs to run home now
more likely responses from Iran:
- american citizens diplomats killed
- saudi arabia fire bombed again
- lebanon barracks style bombing planning
all will be done through Iran proxies and under cover as not to start a legit war
oh and Iraq must kick out all USA personel from their land immediately if they have any self respect at all and if they want to be considered an actual country. this would actualky be the biggest blow to USA. they will practically lose Iraq as base. but maybe Iraqis are true pussies after all
