Reactions

Some people (especially celebrities that don’t seem to have a clue what is going on) decry the killing of the Commander of the Iranian Terrorist Group: Qud Forces, Qasem Soleimani, and his Iraqi lackey, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. They should know and understand what Iran has done in the past few months. 

Also if a celebrity (like Rose McGowan) is going to say the US “disrespected” Iran by killing the Terrorists they should know they are disrespecting Iran by A.) Being a female and speaking openly in public. B.) Not having a male guardian with her. C.) Not having her head, skin and hands covered with a candor and a headscarf. If McGowan was in Iran she would be arrested by the Religious Police, beaten and given both a fine and even prison time. If it was her third offense she could be put to death for disrespecting Islam and Iran for speaking out and not covering-up. Iran would also put her to death for promoting homosexuality.

For everyone else (not those tainted with disrespecting religions) here are the events in the past few months leading to what happened today:

- May 12, 2019: Four commercial ships (two Saudi oil tankers, an Emirati oil tanker and a Norwegian oil tanker) were damaged near the port of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman by Iran and her allies. A June 6, 2019 report by the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Norway believes Iran is responsible for the attacks. 

- May 19, 2019: Iranian-backed terrorists launched a rocket into Baghdad’s Green Zone (1 mile from the US Embassy.)

- June 13, 2019: Two oil tankers were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz while they transited the Gulf of Oman. The Kokuka Courageous, flagged in Panama and operated by a company based in Japan, and Front Altair, flagged in Marshall Islands and operated by a company based in Norway, were attacked with limpet mines or flying objects, sustaining fire damage. The US, UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Germany and the Arab League believe Iran is responsible for these attacks. 

- June 20, 2019: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's (IRGC) shot down a United States RQ-4A Global Hawk BAMS-D surveillance drone with a surface-to-air missile over the Strait of Hormuz in international waters. 

- July 18, 2019: The USS Boxer took defensive action against an Iranian drone that had closed with the ship in the Persian Gulf to approximately 1,000 yards (910 m) and jammed the drone, causing it to crash. General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., commander of the U.S. Central Command, subsequently claimed that USS Boxer may have downed a second Iranian drone.

- July 20, 2019: The British-flagged tanker Stena Impero was seized in a raid by Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces. Four small boats and a helicopter stopped the ship and Iranian commandos rappelled on board from the helicopter. The ship was taken to Bandar Abbas and its crew of 23 detained on board. On  September 4, 2019, Iran decided to free only seven crew members of the detained British tanker. The rest were freed by Iran on September 27, 2019. 

- August 4, 2019: The Iranian Revolutionary Guard seized an Iraqi tanker. The 7 crew members on board were detained further heightening tensions in the Persian Gulf. It was just 3 days later that Britain and eventually Israel joined the Sentinel Program to protect oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.

- September 14, 2019:  Iran attacked merchant ships and the Saudi Aramco oil processing facilities at Abqaiq and Khurais, Saudi Arabia using Cruise missiles and drones. The US, UK, Saudi Arabia, Germany and France stated that Iran was behind the attack.

- December 27, 2019: A rocket attack on the K-1 Air Base in Kirkuk Province in Iraq. The air base was one of many Iraqi military bases that host Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) personnel. The air base was attacked by more than 30 rockets, killing a U.S. civilian contractor and injuring four U.S. service members and two Iraqi security forces personnel. The U.S. blames the Iranian-backed Kata'ib Hezbollah militia, a subgroup of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), for the attack. 

- December 31, 2019: Iranian-backed militiamen stormed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq forcing American diplomats to evacuate to safe rooms. The militia later withdrew due to the US Military’s presence. An additional 100 U.S. Marines were sent to reinforce the Embassy. It is similar to the 1979 storming of the US Embassy in Tehran, Iran where Iran took over the US Embassy and held 52 American Diplomats and Citizens hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981.

- January 3, 2020: The U.S. launched a drone strike against a convoy travelling near Baghdad International Airport that was carrying several passengers, including Iranian Major General and IRGC Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

It seems people have become so obsessed with hating Trump that they would rather support a known Terrorist and the country that backs him than stand for their own country and the innocent men, women and children he murdered.
