1 dollar. You think a $1 increase is worthy of posting?
At least wait for tomorrow when it spike more.

The Iranians are usually pragmatic and measured in how they achieve their regional aims as well as how they foster alliances.
Because they’ve been allowed to be pragmatic and measured.
The sanctions are real and the jig is up.

Put aside your emotions, and look at the responses to my posts.
The responses are emotional, not factual. And they’re not driven by any understanding of the region.
That should give you some pause.

State Department says Iran responsible for killing 608 U.S. troops during Iraq War.
Qasem Soleimani led all Iranian and Iranian-backed forces in those operations.
17% of U.S. troops killed in Iraq from 2003 to 2011 orchestrated by Iran, State Dept. says

Meh who cares. Kill one, a thousand others pop up in his place. Time to get the frick out of the mid-east and let them kill each other.

It’s sad reading Twitter. So many scared people, what happened to being tough and standing behind your country. These idiots weren’t outraged at all when they stormed our embassy.

Why would we tell the Russians? Giving Russia advance notice likely means they’d likely tip off the Iranians.

With no due respect, you are out of your mind.
Everything they've done this decade was based on pragmatism. They had to devote the resources to the SCW, as the connection to the Med was seen as important to the survival of the republic itself. The attacks this summer were done to show the KSA and the UAE that America was reluctant to protect them, which ended up being true. The attacks in the Gulf were done to show that they were willing to shut down shipping in the Gulf if a larger scale war were to occur. Everything they've done has been done for the purpose of achieving their regional aims. Their foreign policy apparatus is unchanged from the Shah's era, and the origins of Lebanese Shia links to the Ayatollahs begin during the Shah's era as well. Unless you completely dismantle their security state, their regional aims will always be the same.

I’m glad for the air strike and glad the dude who supplied EFPs that killed my friends is dead.
However, Not a lot of Rand Paul supporters out today. This just guarantees further escalation in the region.

What strategic interest does war with Iran serve?
It’s neocon dogma. But what US security interest does it serve?

I’m not sure how bad it will be though.
IMO, Iran will attempt something on the level of assassinating a Prime Minister or other government official of that level.
I don’t see a hot war happening without provocation on the level of them attacking a US Naval vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
What would be very, very interesting is if the Ruskies gave him up, as some are theorizing.
The confusion that would evolve out of that would be very interesting.

Simon Tisdall of the Guardian just hit a homerun with this prognostication four days ago.

How do they determine which of Soleimani sons will start banging his wives now that he’s dead. Do they pull names from a turban?

All of these attacks you mentioned are part and parcel of why this guy needed killing. Are you Iranian?

As expected Iraqi forces are locking down the Green Zone & setting up road blocks.

He was Iran’s point man for their military operations in the Middle East, and that included unconventional warfare missions.
They weren’t conducting terrorist attacks though.
