Reports are coming in that Qassem Soleimani, leader of the Iranian Quds force has been assassinated in drone strikes near Baghdad Airport. This is HUUGE!

Thoughts with Ali J

Pretty much the fact Ali J has decided on a career in the western world has marked him as tainted by western ways. He will feel even more ashamed all the time reaching for his wallet.

I fear Trumps actions are an attempt at placating his fan base at home on this election year, it's a very worrying event this is not a rouge leader of some terrorist organisation but a General of a sovereign state I hope our Government condemns the US actions

I wonder if they think - the nation is rejoicing Alireza’s strike now’s probably a good time to pop that general off?

Nah, probably didn't even show it on ESPN's Sports Center. Mostly because it was on the NBC Sports channel.

American officials consider General Suleimani responsible for the deaths of hundreds of soldiers during the Iraq war, when he provided Iraqi insurgents with advanced bomb-making equipment and training. They also say he has masterminded destabilizing Iranian activities that continue throughout the Middle East and are aimed at the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

“General Suleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region,” the Pentagon said in a statement. “General Suleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more.”

It did not elaborate on the specific intelligence that led them to carry out General Suleimani’s killing. The highly classified mission was set in motion after the American contractor’s death on Dec. 27 during a rocket attack by an Iranian-backed militia, a senior American official said.

Not sure which way to feel but those Iranian leaders can be pretty rotten. Hate Trump though. You never know where the truth lies with him either.

Well, World War III is now trending so I'm guessing.........bad?

So Trump has just ordered the highest general of a sovereign nation (not a terrorist organisation and not a nation who the US was at war with) to be killed by air strike, outside an international airport in a third country (Iraq) and without any kind of approval from US Congress.

Starting a war to please his fanbase leading up to an election. I wonder what Boris will do in response when this inevitably escalates.

Whatever will win votes.

On the back of Blair’s doomed Iraq war, I’d suggest Cummings will be telling him to keep
out of the US-Iran crisis telling the electorate that he is concentrating on ‘getting Brexit done’.

However, it will clearly effect our ability to strike a trade deal with the US if Trump remains in power although that deal could take the best part of six or seven years to finalise so Trump might be gone anyway.

Hopefully he will keep his mouth shut. He's never gonna condemn the US.https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/nov/12/woman-jailed-in-iran-shocked-by-boris-johnsons-comments-her-husband-says
