LMAO!!!! Does Iran actually have 80 million USD? If they do can you imagine what would happen to someone who actually tried to collect on that bounty....can’t you just hear the great ayatollah telling you “Trust Me”....

 

Apparently they don't have the $80 million.  During the eulogy they were asking if all 80 million Iranian citizens would DONATE $1 USD to go towards payment for POTUS's head.  I seriously doubt they'll get a 1 million. LOL.

Donald Trump tweets that he'll 'strike back' in a 'disproportionate manner' if Iran hits any US targets after Tehran put an $80m bounty on his head, threatened the White House and tore up nuclear deal

• Donald Trump warned Sunday that the U.S. would strike back harder against Iran if it retaliated 
• Iran officials and supporters of General Qassem Soleimani vowed vengeance for his death in US strike Friday 
• Trump tweeted: 'Should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner'
• At a funeral procession forSoleimani, Iranians were urged to donate $1 each to raise the bounty 
• Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi threatened to attack White House during open session of parliament Sunday  
• MP's threat came after Trump warned that US would hit 52 targets representing victims of Iran hostage crisis 
• Iran has also announced that the country will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal
• Earlier on Sunday, the Iraqi parliament voted for US troops to be expelled from the country, local reports say  
• Iran also threatened to hit 35 American targets in region, including US ships, following top general's death   
• His body was returned to Iran early Sunday to chants of 'Death to America' ahead of a three-day funeral  
• Iranians raised the blood-red 'flags of revenge' over the minarets at the revered Jamkaran Mosque   
• Thousands of US paratroopers from the 82 Airborne Division continue to deploy to the Middle East 

Donald Trump has warned that the U.S. will 'strike back' harder at Iran if it retaliates against over the killing of military leader Qasem Soleimani.

 

'These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner,' Trump tweeted on Sunday afternoon.

'Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!' he continued.

The president remained largely silent on Twitter for most of the day as he golfed during his last winter vacation day in West Palm Beach.

 

He broke his silence after returning to Mar-a-Lago from his golf resort and took a hit at lawmakers and politicians who have criticized him for not notifying or consulting Congress before directing the attack.

Trump ordered an air strike on an Iraqi airport in Baghdad, which took out Soleimani – who was classified by the Obama administration as a terrorist. 

The attack came just days after protesters who support Iran-backed Iraqi Shia militia raided on New Year's Eve the U.S. embassy in Iraq, which has never been breached before.

Several U.S. politicians and pundits have questioned whether the attack was warranted and have said they haven't seen enough intelligence to warrant the action. Trump said he ordered the killing because Soleimani had ordered attacks on Americans in the Middle East.

Iran has since placed an $80million bounty on Trump's head and threatened to attack the White House in response to the president's warning that any strike on American interests in the region will bring massive retaliation.

 

President Donald Trump gave two thumbs up and flashed a smile after leaving his golf resort to return to Mar-a-Lago where he threatened to strike back in a 'disproportionate manner' if Iran took retaliatory action against the U.S. for the killing of General Qassem Soleimani

While the Basra revolutionaries refused to enter a symbolic funeral for the funeral of Qassem Soleimani from the heart of the demonstration square, for his involvement in the blood of the Iraqis, which led the militias to fire live bullets at the sit-in square.

Conscious / Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq: the plane that assassinated the engineer and Suleimani was launched from Kuwait

The "Popular League of the Right" movement affiliated with the Popular Mobilization confirmed today, Saturday, that the American plane that carried out the attack on the Vice President of the crowd, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, and Major General Qassem Soleimani, departed from Kuwait.

"All reports about the MQ-9 drone , which killed the two martyrs Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qasim Soleimani, and which they said were based in Qatar, are completely false information regarding the preliminary investigation," said a statement by the Al-Asaib Movement received by (Iraqi Media News Agency)) .

The statement added: "We found that the only airport for this plane is the State of Kuwait, specifically at Ali Al Salem Air Force Base."

Al-Muhandes and Suleimani were assassinated in an attack by a droning plane at dawn last Friday near Baghdad International Airport.

NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: Obama Launched 2,800 Strikes On Iraq, Syria Without Congressional Approval

Joseph CurlJanuary 4th, 2020

After President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to take out Iran’s secretive Quds Force commander, Qassem Suleimani, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the president should have asked for permission from Congress before conducting the airstrike.

“The Administration has conducted tonight’s strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran. Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress,” she said Thursday night in a statement.

She also said “The full Congress must be immediately briefed on this serious situation and on the next steps under consideration by the Administration, including the significant escalation of the deployment of additional troops to the region.”

But Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, launched more than 2,800 on Iraq and Syria without congressional approval.

“The U.S. military has been conducting strikes in Iraq for 10 months, and began striking directly at targets in Syria last September as part of Mr. Obama’s announced campaign to degrade the capabilities of the Islamic State,” The Washington Times reported in April 2015.

This past weekend’s attacks brought the total to 1,458 strikes in Iraq and 1,343 in Syria by U.S. forces. Coalition forces allied with the U.S. have conducted another 655 attacks on Iraqi targets and 95 in Syria.

Mr. Obama has justified the attacks under his commander in chief powers and under the 2001 resolution authorizing force against al Qaeda, and the 2002 resolution authorizing the ouster of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill have said Mr. Obama is stretching those laws and that the strikes could be illegal — though they say they want to put them on firm footing by passing a new authorization.

What’s more, there were “ten times more air strikes in the covert war on terror during President Barack Obama’s presidency than under his predecessor, George W. Bush,” the Bureau for Investigative Journalism reported in 2017.

Obama embraced the US drone programme, overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out during his entire presidency. A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57 strikes under Bush. Between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in those countries, according to reports logged by the Bureau.

And there’s still more. One week after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that killed more than 3,000 people, Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that lets the president pursue and take out those responsible for the attacks, plus any “associated forces.”

In 2014, the New York Times reported that Obama had authority under the AUMF. In a piece headlined “Obama Sees Iraq Resolution as a Legal Basis for Airstrikes, Official Says,” the Times said: “The White House believes that Congress’s 2002 authorization of the Iraq war — and not just the 2001 authorization to fight Al Qaeda — provides a legal justification for President Obama’s air campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, the Obama administration said Friday.” THe Times continued:

By claiming statutory authority, the administration sidestepped the War Powers Resolution, which requires deployments into hostilities to end after 60 days if Congress has not signed off. But public and background briefings for reporters this week mentioned only the 9/11 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, or A.U.M.F., and not the Iraq authorization, as did a statement the White House released after Mr. Obama’s speech. …

“The president may rely on the 2001 A.U.M.F. as statutory authority for the military airstrike operations he is directing” against I.S.I.S., the administration said in a written statement provided to The New York Times and attributed to a senior administration official. “As we have explained, the 2002 Iraq A.U.M.F. would serve as an alternative statutory authority basis on which the president may rely for military action in Iraq. Even so, our position on the 2002 A.U.M.F. hasn’t changed and we’d like to see it repealed.”

Customs and Border Patrol DENIES reports that Iranians, some of them US citizens, have been detained by American agents at the Canadian border amid tensions between Washington and Tehran

• The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported Sunday that more than 60 Iranians and Iranian-Americans of all ages have been detained
• It was claimed they were detained at length and questioned by officers at the Peace Arch Border Crossing in Blaine, Washington 
• But Customs and Border Protection has since issued a statement saying the claim was false
• It said extra wait times of up to four hours at the border were as a result of increased passenger volumes over the holiday period  

Customs and Border protection says reports of up to 60 Iranians being detained at the US-Canada border, amid escalating tensions between Washington D.C. and Iran are false.

On Sunday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported Sunday that more than 60 Iranians and Iranian-Americans of all ages were detained at length and questioned by officers at the Peace Arch Border Crossing in Blaine, Washington. 

It said more Iranian-Americans are expected to cross the Peace Arch Border to try to return to their homes in the US from an Iranian pop concert that took place on Saturday in Vancouver, Canada. 

It was also claimed that the detained group allegedly had their passports confiscated and they were questioned about their political views and allegiances.

 

However, CBP said in a statement that based on the 'current threat to the environment CBP is operating with an enhanced posture at its ports of entry to safeguard our national security and protect the American people'. It added that it did so while 'protecting the civil rights and liberties of everyone'.

'CBP routinely adjusts staffing and operations to maintain the duel missions of border security and facilitation of lawful trade and travel. Processing times are the result of the current circumstances, including staffing levels, volume of traffic, and threat posture.'

It added that on Saturday - the day it was claimed the large number of people were detained - there were increased wait times of up to two hours, and in some cases up to four hours, due to the high volume of travelers. 

'CBP does not discriminate based on religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.'

What You Need to Know About the Death of Soleimani

 

By Wesley Smith yesterday

 

President Trump ordered the attack on Major General Qassem Soleimani, a master terrorist and the head of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), on January 2nd.  He was killed along with seven others as he arrived at the Baghdad Airport.  Here are key facts about this man, who was responsible for the deaths of untold numbers of people around the world.

 

Soleimani was the most powerful Iranian general.  While other generals may have outranked him, as Commander of the Quds Forces, he answered only to Iran’s Supreme Leader.  His authority was outside the normal military chain of command in Iran and he was given carte blanche authority for the export of terror around the world as he coordinated and directed the numerous Iranian militias and proxies worldwide.
 

The Quds Forces were responsible for assassinations, terrorism and unconventional warfare that Iran exports and executes globally, including places like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.  He was the benefactor of Hamas and Hezbollah.  He was linked to assassinations and assassination attempts in the U.S., Germany, India and Argentina.
 

He was also linked to the deaths of over 600 U.S. service members in Iraq, as he supplied enhanced Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to the insurgency there.  Thousands of U.S. troops were wounded and maimed by these weapons.  The IRGC was responsible for 17 per cent of all U.S. casualties in Iraq between 2003 and 2011.
 

We are in a War on Terror since September 11, 2001.  Iran is the leading state-sponsor of terrorism, and the Quds Forces have been declared a terror organization.  In war, a general officer of an enemy force is a legitimate military target.  This was not an assassination.  It was the killing of an enemy soldier in a war.
 

According to Secretary of State Pompeo, he was not killed because of his past deeds, but because the U.S. became aware of planned attacks by Soleimani on U.S. personnel and others.  The attacks were imminent.

 

Because of this, President Trump was not required to notify Congress in advance.  Under his Article Two powers in the U.S. Constitution, and in accordance with the War Powers Act, the president can take military action if a threat against the United States in imminent.
 

The attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad were not mere demonstrations.  They were coordinated attacks on the U.S. compound and its personnel directed by Soleimani and his Quds Forces, in coordination with Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq.

 

Soleimani was also responsible for the deaths of hundreds of demonstrators in Iran as they protested against government corruption and a failing economy in Iran.
 

Over the last several weeks, hundreds of Iraqi demonstrators were killed as they protested against Iranian influence in their own country and government corruption in Iraq. 

 

The use of live ammunition against these demonstrations in Iraq can also be traced back to Soleimani.
 

 

The events of the last several days are a reminder that there are evil people and terrorist forces who seek to do us harm.  When they chant “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” they truly mean it.  Our nation’s leaders and our men and women in the military have a solemn obligation and a Constitutional mandate to protect America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.  We pray for our nation’s leaders and our men and women in uniform.

A number of rockets have been fired into Iraq's Green Zone near the US Embassy.

A statement from Iraqi military said three Katyusha missiles hit on Sunday evening inside the capital of Baghdad's heavily fortified area which houses government buildings and foreign missions.

Three more rockets fell in the nearby Jadriya area injuring six people, the statement said.

The attack comes two days after General Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad.

 

Earlier today, Iraqi lawmakers voted to expel the US military from the country as tensions between the nations increased.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians hit the streets today to mourn his death and to protest against the American attack.

Iranians have vowed to take revenge following the assassination.

Boris Johnson commented on the crisis for the first time on Sunday since returning from his holiday in the Caribbean and said he had spoken to the US President Donald Trump.

Following the phone call, Mr Johnson warned that all calls for reprisals “will simply lead to more violence in the region and they are in no one’s interest” in the wake of the killing in Baghdad on Friday.

But a short while later, Mr Trump threatened to “strike back” and “perhaps in a disproportionate manner” if Iran strikes a US citizen or target

 

 

Three Americans killed in militant attack on military base in Kenya

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said the country's military will strike more Iranian leaders if the Islamic Republic retaliates to the killing.

 

He said: "We continue to prepare for whatever it is the Iranian regime may put in front of us within the next 10 minutes, within the next 10 days, and within the next 10 weeks.”

As rockets fell, it was confirmed three Americans, one US military service member and two contractors, were killed during an attack by Somalia's Al-Shabaab militant group on a military base in Kenya.

The Al-Qaeda-linked group attacked the base, used by US and Kenyan military personnel, in Kenya's Lamu County.

Easier said than done: Making US troops actually leave Iraq will take more than parliament resolution

5 Jan, 2020 22:28

 

Adoption of the resolution, urging the expulsion of the US military from Iraq, marks a very important step for the country, yet making them actually leave will likely take more than that, analysts have told RT.

The resolution, calling for withdrawal of foreign troops from the country, was adopted by the Iraqi parliament on Sunday. The non-binding document that the government is yet to consider came in response to the assassination of Iranian Quds force commander Qassem Soleimani as well as other Iranian and Iraqi military officials, including the deputy commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Force (PMF), Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. The high-profile officials were killed in a US airstrike on the outskirts of Baghdad earlier this week.

Washington appeared unnerved by the resolution. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended the American military presence in the country, insisting that the Iraqis actually enjoy it.

“We are confident that the Iraqi people want the United States to continue to be there to fight the counterterror campaign,” Pompeo told ‘Fox News Sunday.’ The US top diplomat, however, apparently missed the part when Washington actually attacked the Iraqi forces. The PMF militia, which has been the key force in fighting the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) is  a part of the country’s military, author and analyst Nicolas J.S. Davies has said.

“There’s now a confrontation between the Iraqi government and the US government. The US has already attacked Iraq’s armed forces, that’s how this began,” Davies told RT. “The Iraqi government has every right to ask them to leave, and if the US resists this request then we have a huge confrontation.”

Killing of Soleimani and his associates came not only in a blatant disregard of international norms, but breached the deal between Baghdad and Washington, Davies explained, thus the latest move by the country’s parliament is not very surprising.

“The US is really just behaving like a rogue state at this point. All of it is just a flagrant violation of international law in so many ways,” he said, mentioning that the US troops are in the country at the invitation of Iraqi government.

The parliament’s decision is an “enormous development” for the country that moved a step closer to ending the enduring occupation by the US forces, as well as for the whole region, political analyst and journalist Andre Vltchek believes.

“We never saw the US army to depart just because the parliament of the occupied country would vote that it should. So, this is not going to be easy for Iraq to get rid of the US and NATO military,” Vltchek told RT.

Washington is likely to recourse to “all sorts of tricks” to try and stay in the country, Vltchek warned. Transferring the forces into the autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan region – “as they did in the past” – is one of them. Still, the situation in the region has changed since the times of the 2003 invasion and the local powers and groups appear to show significantly more unity, and the death of Soleimani might potentially become a further unifying moment for it.

The whole endeavor to try and expel US troops from Iraq might still flop, former Pentagon official Michael Maloof has warned, since the country’s politicians – including the caretaker PM, who spearheaded it now – have been very reluctant to actually do so before the US attack.

“Prior to the assassination of the General Soleimani, there was dissent within these Shia ranks, and that’s why you had no decision, because for months, there has been discussion of doing just this – possibly removing foreign troops, namely the US in particular to avoid the very problem we’re having now,” he said.

The local forces have already been deemed capable of tackling the existing terrorist threat on their own – and now the US troops are “basically booted out” instead of departing after an accomplished mission. Still, there’s no certainty that they will actually depart – which will turn them once again into de-jure occupiers of the country, Maloof said.

“Now the question is – if ordered out, will the US forces leave? … If they do not, then they’ll become an occupying force once again.”

The Sun: British submarine ready to launch missiles at Iran in case of war

 

The British newspaper "The Sun" reported that a British naval submarine navy armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles is in a position to strike Iran if tensions turn into a war in the Middle East.

Despite desperate attempts to calm the crisis between the United States and Iran, the Top Brass submarine is working fiercely to ensure Britain is prepared to support America militarily if asked to do so.

The killing of the terrorist Qassem Soleimani in a US drone strike on Thursday raised fears of a third Gulf war.

In the capital, Tehran, yesterday, the Iranian president issued a shocking warning that the United States had committed a "grave mistake" and warned that it would face consequences for years to come.

Soleimani was eliminated after receiving information that his forces were about to launch raids on American citizens and diplomats in the Middle East.

U.S. President Donald Trump also confirmed that Soleimani had planned bloody attacks in London.

As the world held its breath on the next step for Iran, high-level defense sources revealed that the killer of the "Astute" hunter was sitting silently on the range of Iranian targets.

"The first strike will not take place, but all necessary precautions will be taken, depending on Iran's response to Soleimani's death, " one of the insiders told the newspaper, "The Sun" .

 And if things deteriorate quickly, the UK will always stand side by side with the United States. The submarine is the most advanced submarine of the Royal Navy. It is a deadly asset for targets within Iran.

The submarine is carrying a 20-foot Tomahawk missile, with a 1,000-pound high-explosive warhead with the ability to destroy a building. With a range of more than 1550 miles, it runs at more than 550 miles per hour and has a GPS guidance system that allows it to switch between targets in the middle of the flight.

The last Tomahawk ground-to-ground missile attack was launched by the British navy last time in 2011 against Gaddafi's military installations in Libya.

It was used by the navy in Iraq in 2003 and Afghanistan in 2001.

The British Minister of Defense announced last night that the Royal Navy warships will accompany merchant ships across the perilous Strait of Hormuz.

The Sunday Times reported that orders had been issued to the British forces to abandon their training for Iraqi forces and to switch to securing the British embassy in Baghdad.
