On January 3, 2020, the United States assassinated Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The general was in Baghdad at the invitation of the Iraqi government when US drones killed him.
Iran is still not okay with this, needless to say. The Iranian government has now imposed individual sanctions on some 52 Americans for their role in what they called the “terrorist” act of killing their general.
The sanctions chiefly hit US military personnel, including generals and commanders in the vicinity. The sanctions open up the possibility of seizing assets, but none of them has any assets in Iran to begin with.
While most see the sanctions as symbolic, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan still used them as a chance to threaten Iran. He warned Iran faces “severe consequences” if they act against any of the sanctioned Americans.
“Sanction”? Iran should put a hit out on the bastards responsible for the assassination.
Isn’t “fair” fair?
Hi Gypsy33:
Your name suits you (I’m sure I have said that before)!
I would like to see things tamper down because as things stand, they could escalate…
I should add, they more than likely will escalate.

Peace is preferable, but still it would be nice to see Iran and Syria able to hit back once in awhile.
Better for these murderers to be apprended and made to stand trial so the world can hear the full truth of their war crimes.
The Karma would take place sooner or later…!
