Interesting that Pompeo was just in the Region . . . .

We Chinese all know the Covid-19 virus was intentional accidentally leaked on Sept 18, 2019 when the CCP did a drill to plant and detect the virus at the Wuhan Tianhe airport. The virus was made in a PLA lab. The truth about the pandemic the MSM and leftists keep hiding from you.

So confused by the Islamic Republic striving to copy the weapons of the great satan. Have they changed sides or shown their true colours?

As long as they aren't blaming the US. It probably was Israel and NO! I don't stand with them. They are now terrorists.

HR violation and War crime?

How u blame buddy isreal and the nasa elephant riHt in front ya face .... Iran strait cowards for beefing wit a robot country when the energy controlling the robot still exist rabbitHoleCowards

I think cnn and msnbc are broadcasting it live. They also send their heartfelt condolences.

I can think of a whole host of proportional responses that Iran could legitimately make. Targeting Western public officials who wear sneakers might suffice.

Grown ass adults especially political leaders pointing fingers. Grow your asses up.

People of the world. I'm asking for help, my son Artem needs urgent heart surgery. He has a heart defect. There's less and less time left. If you can help, go to my profile information there. I beg you on your knees, help save your son

When Iran supports its regional allies, it’s called “meddling” or “Iran’s malign influence” or “intervention.” When the US assassinates an Iranian general an ocean away from the continental US or when Israel assassinates an Iranian scientist, it’s labeled “fighting terrorism.”

Assassination

I wonder if the Mossad sent flowers.

Turn Iran into the wasteland its begging to be. Just get the innocent folks out first

They wont do anything as long as realDonaldTrump is in office. But if he leaves, 4 years from now, then they will do something...

RIP
