arwaCNN Iran should stop promoting terrorism Iran in the United States looks for the rights of the common people

arwaCNN Какой то сарай из жести. Это точно американская база?

arwaCNN Th US was unable to stop, intercept, or protect from the attack. So all US assets in the region are vulnerable. It's why Trump didn't respond.

arwaCNN Looking at the aerial photo, if she is on the impact site, wouldn't there be tents on both sides of her? She has her back towards the wall, so there would be tents on both sides of her, yet there are none. Very interesting.

arwaCNN You are always playing the victim. Even when you are asked to leave and you spit on Iraq's democratic vote. FFS, GO HOME. Stop you bloody whining. Go!

arwaCNN This is the second time Iran has been merciful and not killed US troops.

arwaCNN Because our military is so much better than theirs that’s why

arwaCNN Arwa don't go sticking your face in that hot ash to give it the old smell test. It's hot.

arwaCNN Khamenei and his government know that Iran will suffer and they will disappear in the same way that Saddam did, hanging in rags before a mob of angry and newly empowered enemies they created out of their own people. There are already people disaffected with the Iranian regime.

arwaCNN The only missile hit the target was the one that killed the passenger aircraft... Damn!

arwaCNN It's not a shock when both the Iraqi's and US knew it was coming............. This is why people hate your coverage. It is fuggin stupid sometimes.

arwaCNN Next exaggeration headline from CNN. “Ukraine Airliner shot down may have had tapes on Trump conversations”
