Iran’s Quds Force commander Gen. Esmail Ghaani arrived in Baghdad and has been meeting with top Iraqi officials over the past day, important consultations amid reports that the US is preparing to launch a war against Iran, with Iraqi militias as a first target.
US deployments of Patriot missiles to several sites in recent days were also criticized in a statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, saying the US needs to halt “warmongering during the coronavirus outbreak” and stop destabilizing the region.
Earlier Wednesday, President Trump claimed that Iran is plotting a sneak attack on the US, and others suggested it might be such an attack that the US couldn’t effectively pin it on Iran. This comes amid reports that the US was planning to “wipe out” certain Iraqi militias in a new campaign.
Ghaani has been the head of Quds force since January, when his predecessor, Qassem Soleimani, was assassinated by the US during his own visit to Baghdad. Ghaani appears to have arrived in Baghdad without any attempts on his life.
The mad rush by the US to start another war in the Middle East in blatant disregard of thousands dying in America of coronavirus shows the mentality of the US leadership. They would rather spend trillions of dollars on an unnecessary war then spend the money to care for the People of America. DISGUSTING!!!
You have a real valid point here, True Sense, and I fully agree. Indeed, this mad rush by the US to start another war in the ME in blatant disregard of thousands in America dying of COVID-19 shows the insane mentality of the US leadership, They’d rather spent trillions of dollars on an unnecessary war than spend it to care for America’s population.
The so-called stupid leadership here are SecDef Mark Esper, SecState Fat-face Pompass, etc. are the lunatics who’d rather spend trillions of dollars for unending wars than ensure the care and safety of the population.
Well they have to keep the dollars rolling in for the military-industrial complex, because that’s who gets most of them elected.
“The so-called stupid leadership here are SecDef Mark Esper, SecState Fat-face Pompass’
Once more, excluding their boss. You are consistent.
Sunkist & Co. are socio….need to be dragged before the ICC.
Except the US won’t recognize the ICC because they know too many Americans would be hauled there to face charges.
That’s ballsy. The good general must have faith in his security team. And this must be a shock that the Iranians replaced the head of the Quds(not Kurds Donald)force. We been playing up killing leaders of all of our “enemies” as some kind of game changer since 2001 and yet we’re still mired in quagmires everywhere.
And the reason Mr. Ghaani is safe to walk in Baghdad is because he is not a threat to the Mullahs back home and therefore has the leadership immunity.
It’s kind of amazing that he didn’t get assassinated by the US at the airport like Soleimani did..
