U.S. military takes out yet another senior Iranian military commander

American Thinker: With coronavirus seemingly on top of everyone’s agenda, it’s easy to forget that the world continues to turn and other events take place.  One of those events was an Iranian rocket attack in Iraq on Wednesday that killed two Americans and a British national.  Iran’s top leadership may be falling like dominos to the coronavirus, but Iran’s theocracy is still vicious.  The mullahs might have thought that, with the U.S. distracted by coronavirus, they could gain an advantage in Iraq.  The mullahs thought wrong.

According to Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, head of U.S. forces in the Middle East, the attack on Wednesday was almost certainly the work of Kata’eb Hezb’allah, the same group that stormed the American embassy in Iraq.  That effort led to Trump ordering a targeted strike against Qassem Soleimani, one of the most dangerous and deadly terrorists in the world.

Once again, Trump responded forcefully to Iran’s latest deadly attack.  He ordered a counterstrike, which U.S. forces successfully carried out on Thursday:

The U.S. military launched multiple strikes using warplanes targeting multiple bases used by Iranian-backed Shia militias believed to be behind the rocket attack on Camp Taji, Iraq, the day before that killed two Americans and one British soldier, a senior U.S. military source told Fox News.

The launch began after 1 a.m. Baghdad time.

The U.S. military strike was “proportional,” according to the U.S. military source, and hit multiple bases used by the Kata’eb Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia that fired 30 Katyusha rockets yesterday at the Taji Base, which housed American and British troops. Of the 12 troops wounded yesterday, five are in serious condition.

It turns out that this was an exceptionally successful strike because the U.S. military managed to take out yet another senior Iranian military commander. more

  3. …actually, it’s GREAT that our President is not giving Islam a free pass despite our own intestinal troubles.

    …after all, Islam would have been destroyed if Christianity had stayed united about it and not fallen to killing each other instead of Muslims over Martin Luther’s fabuously bad timing…

  4. Why does it have to be proportional? They are launching attacks on foreign soil, why doesn’t the U.S. bomb Iran directly? Blow up their military totally, and their parliament building.

    Who would care?

  6. Just a reminder goat fuckers.
    Explosives contain a large amount of gelatin, a pork by product.
    Whether detonating a vest or being a casualty of a missile you become saturated with gelatin/pork.
    You become Haram.
    You will never enter paradise or be accepted by allah.
    PS Fuck You
