'If nothing happens, if this doesn't escalate, this will appeal to [Donald Trump's] base.' Former US assistant secretary of defence Lawrence Korb explains how tensions with Iran could play a role in the US election. Read more:

"This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans," the Pentagon said in a statement, adding that the US would continue to take necessary action to protect Americans and interests around the world.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned a"harsh retaliation is waiting" for the US - describing the commander as the"international face of resistance".Declaring three days of public mourning, Khamenei added:"All enemies should know that the jihad of resistance will continue with a doubled motivation, and a definite victory awaits the fighters in the holy war.

And Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter:"The US act of international terrorism, targeting & assassinating General Soleimani... is extremely dangerous & a foolish escalation. The US bears responsibility for all consequences of its rogue adventurism."A senior Iraqi security official said the strike took place near the cargo area after Maj Gen Soleimani left his plane to be greeted by Mr al Muhandis. The plane had arrived from either Lebanon or Syria.

Nothing will happen Russia gave suleimani up (got rid of him since he was making too much noise in Syria), China doesn't mind a weaker Iran so those two (read mullah's masters) won't let anything happen. mullahs will be barking for a while and that is it. Trump did good!

Coulda,woulda,shoulda... meaningless jibberish.

Iranian special forces penetrate America and kill a high-profile general. What does Trump do? Nothing? That’d involve loss of face and send a signal to his enemy he’s weak. So what does Hassan Rouhani do? He sure as hell ain’t gonna do nothing on the principle outlined above.

Awaits Jeremy Cobrns response ........
