Iranian militias inside Iraq say that their vengeance against the United States will begin on Sunday night.
It is now 8:12 PM in Iraq.
They are 8 hours ahead of EST in the states.
They say that all US servicemen are fair game, but I wonder how effective they are going to be against the Apache helicopters President Trump sent there after the attack on the embassy.
Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force commander General Qasem Soleimani was killed in a drone attack ordered by President Trump. The Democrats have been critical of the president ever since it was announced. They say it will lead to acts of terror against the United States.
Soleimani killed 608 US servicemen in Iraq, directed a missile attack last week that killed an American and it is being said he approved the attack on our embassy. Seems to me were suffering terrorist attacks with him alive.
President Trump said we have identified 52 Iranian targets.
….targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!

In addition,
- America is deploying 3,000 more troops to the region to deal with the increased threat. These troops are in addition to the 750 troops that were sent last week to Kuwait
- The UK is sending two warships to accompany its oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. British special forces (SAS) in the region are also being equipped with increased fire power. PM Boris John cut his island vacation short and is returning to the UK Sunday
- Two rockets struck near Iraqi bases that house American troops in Baghdad and Balad Saturday evening. No soldiers were injured but civilians may have been injured
- An American government site was hacked by an Iranian group
Finally, in Yemen, the foreign ministry tweeted the comments of Yemini Foreign Minister Mohammed el-Hadrami, who said, “The history of the terrorist Qasem Soleimani is black. He worked to undermine the safety and stability of the region and our country, specifically by supporting the Houthi militias. He and the Iranian regime, the first sponsors of terror in the world, are responsible for killing and displacing thousands of innocents in Yemen and the Arab world.”
