US says it kills top Iranian commander Soleimani in air strike

Top Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, an adviser to Soleimani, was also killed in the attack, a militia spokesman said.

“At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qassem Soleimani,” the Pentagon said in a statement.U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that Soleimani had been killed in a drone strike. Iraqi paramilitary groups said on Friday that three rockets hit Baghdad International Airport, killing five members of Iraqi paramilitary groups and two “guests”.

Iran, for its part, has absorbed scores of air strikes and missile attacks, mainly carried out by Israel against its fighters and proxies in Syria and Iraq.

Remember war is a profitable hobby to America, like, question: America, what do you do for fun, Answer: ohh we just go around the world looking for people to kill(terrorists) and resource to extract.

I love the analogy of this middle eastern specialist you brought. It's time we ask real questions here and stop swallowing whatever the west is feeding us

If they only could spend that money on serious issues, like publiic schooling, health care, environment, instead of hunting commanders in foreign countries...
