The Pentagon’s announcement that U.S. forces conducted a strike killing Iran’s top general sparked a firestorm on Capitol Hill, with many members of Congress praising the move and others warning of unintended consequences. The avalanche of reactions came after the Defense Department said in a statement it had conducted an airstrike on Baghdad International Airport to kill General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force. Soleimani helped direct Tehran’s proxies across the region and is believed to be responsible for several attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq conducted by Iranian-backed militias. The Pentagon said Soleimani was “actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region” and was “responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more.” President Trump’s allies on Capitol Hill rushed to praise the operation, saying the killing sent a strong message to Iran and could be a strong deterrent to Iranian proxies in Iraq. “Wow - the price of killing and injuring Americans has just gone up drastically. Major blow to Iranian regime that has American blood on its hands. Soleimani was one of the most ruthless and vicious members of the Ayatollah's regime. He had American blood on his hands,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a prominent foreign policy hawk who often speaks with the White House, said in a series of tweets. “The defensive actions the U.S. has taken against #Iran & its proxies are consistent with clear warnings they have received. They chose to ignore these warnings because they believed @POTUS was constrained from acting by our domestic political divisions. They badly miscalculated,” added Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). “Qassem Soleimani masterminded Iran’s reign of terror for decades, including the deaths of hundreds of Americans. Tonight, he got what he richly deserved, and all those American soldiers who died by his hand also got what they deserved: justice. America is safer now after Soleimani’s demise,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) echoed. Some congressional Republicans who, at times, criticize Trump also backed the attack, saying the assassination was the right decision. “This is very simple: General Soleimani is dead because he was an evil bastard who murdered Americans. The President made the brave and right call, and Americans should be proud of our servicemembers who got the job done,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said in a statement. The strike against Soleimani, which also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of an Iran-backed militia in Iraq, could lead to further escalations in an already deteriorating situation in the Middle East. The U.S. military struck an Iranian-backed militia group in Iraq on Sunday after a rocket attack Friday killed a U.S. contractor and wounded four U.S. troops. The Trump administration blamed the attack on this group. The militia and its supporters responded by storming the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, prompting the U.S. military to deploy 100 Marines as reinforcements at the embassy and 750 more troops to the region. Some Democrats expressed concerns that the killing of Tehran’s top general could lead to a fiercer beating of the war drums in Iran and could put American interests in the Middle East at risk. Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) said the strike could put “U.S. forces and citizens in danger and very possibly sinking us into another disastrous war in the Middle East that the American people are not asking for and do not support.” “I urge members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to show courage on this issue, and I urge the Trump administration to change course and pursue diplomacy before we are entangled in yet another war in the Middle East with no end in sight,” he added in a statement. “[Qassem Soleimani] was an enemy of the United States with American blood on his hands. But the question we’ve grappled with for years in Iraq was how to kill more terrorists than we create. That’s an open question tonight as we await Iran’s reaction to Donald Trump’s escalation, wich could ignite a regional war, with still no strategy from the Administration,” said Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), himself an Iraq War veteran. Some Democrats also argued that Trump did not have the authority to order the strike without congressional approval. “Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) tweeted. “The question is this — as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?” Republicans pushed back on the criticism, saying Trump had an obligation to respond to past attacks and prevent future assaults on American assets in the region. “Gen. Soleimani has killed hundreds and hundreds of Americans, and was actively plotting more. This commander-in-chief — any C-in-C. — has an obligation to defend America by killing this bastard,” Sasse said in response to Murphy’s statement. While the debate raged in Washington over the effectiveness and legality on the killing of Soleimani, the Pentagon left the door open to future actions to deter Iranian attacks. “This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans,” the Defense Department said. “The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world.”

Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!
General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more...but got caught! He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself.
While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country. They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago!

1914年6月28日（塞尔维亚国庆），奥匈帝国皇储斐迪南大公夫妇在萨拉热窝视察时，被塞尔维亚青年加夫里若·普林西普枪杀，成为第一世界大战的导火线。
同年7月28日，奥匈帝国在德国的支持下，以萨拉热窝事件为借口，向塞尔维亚宣战。接着德、俄、法、英等国相继投入战争，第一次世界大战爆发。

殊不知 过去中共政权得以有时间喘息是因为没有到它灭亡的时候 而时候到了 不论美伊如何 中共还是会灭 因为万事有万事的进程和时间表🤷🏻♀️
美国国务卿：与伊拉克议会议长阿尔-哈布希通了话，对他就伊朗及其代理人袭击美国驻巴格达大使馆所表达的谴责表示了感谢。我们一致认为，伊拉克必须负起责任，保证美方人员的安全并防止袭击再次发生。建立一个有主权、强有力的伊拉克仍是个共同的优先事项。

马汉指出，国家的力量由其军事经济实力以及使用这种实力的决心而决定。美国毫无疑问拥有经济政治和军事实力。但奥巴马时代缺乏了使用这个实力的决心，所以在国际上处处碰壁。

别意淫了好不，不管发生什么，中国压力不会减少。

有个屁balls，以色列在叙利亚揍了伊朗几十次了，伊朗没一次还手。真打起来，伊朗还不如90年伊拉克。
干得漂亮！
跟野蛮谈文明，人家知道那是啥？
才double啊。呵呵。不double，砸大使馆示威，double呐，去基地示威？
美国驻巴格达使馆周五（1月3日）要求所有美国公民立即离开伊拉克。
川普的确点出了美国伊拉克政策的致命缺陷：美国每年给伊拉克几十亿美元的援助，伊拉克却越来越被伊朗操控。美国干掉萨达姆之后，什叶派主导的伊拉克政府不可避免地被伊朗渗透和操控。对这个问题，并没有有效解决办法。
逊尼派的萨达姆含笑九泉，他在台上时，成功扼杀掉什叶派势力。
管杀不管埋就行了。
以前美帝陷入泥潭是太理想主义，总惦记战后重建弄个民主标杆，又是制度设计，又是重建。最后弄得升米恩斗米仇。
想开了，进去砸完，扭头就走。有屁泥潭可进。低等民族不值得投入资源。
川普就是这种人。
有屁冲突。伊朗要报复，升级轰炸德黑兰，再报复，一个个电站，交通枢纽炸光。
就是不进地面部队，不搞政权更迭，不搞重建。
处理旧货
伊朗没啥力量。美伊实力就是一大人和三岁小孩的实力对比，不揍你是给你面子。真不给面子，你怎么一哭二闹三上吊都没用。
其实美中也是，最多是一壮汉和半大孩子。
真搞，全都得跪，就是寄希望大人在乎脸面而已。
和犹太人没关系。
踩了美帝红线了，美帝红线是不能死美国人。
这次炸了一包公头，踩了红线了。
分析的很对，这是美国的失策，推翻了萨达姆却不可避免的使得伊拉克落入了什叶派的手中（谁让人家什叶派人口最多呢，在伊拉克要搞民主的结果就是什叶派永远当权），伊朗是中东什叶派的代表，伊拉克不可避免的早晚会靠向伊朗，一场海湾战争以及十几年的人力财力的投入都给伊朗做了嫁衣，现在美国扶植的伊拉克亲美政府也暗里放水，放任示威者进入美国大使馆破坏，真是搬起石头砸了自己的脚。现在杀了二号人物，想下台都没台阶了，还硬生生把伊拉克推向了反美的一边，这是外交上的重大失策。
外交部觉悟挺高的，五万块没敢要。一条人命五万块。还炸你县城，抗美援朝以来第一次。
