Such baseless and stupid claims. Iran's own consulate was attacked by protesters in Basra, who are angry at social / economic issues (lack of water, jobs, etc.) - it has nothing to do with Iran. This is just another excuse for the US and SecPompeo who is itching for war.

Many were talking about such things for many years. There are large numbers of militant supporters of the Iranian regime, and Iranian regime proxies throughout the world. They can go kinetic if the US goes to war. Chew on that for a while. Be careful of what you ask for.

why USA Remove Saddam in 2003 to let Iran control Iraq and now they left Basra and give it all to Iran

The US consulate in Basra I’m familiar with is a small mud abandon building that had been hit by a mortar round, 1982; anyway folks can take the dual lane highway of death (Iraq War) to Kuwait City which is a two hour drive.

Continuing to fabricate war propaganda against Iran. We’ve been down this road before many times WagTheDog

Wag The Dog

Stay safe everyone!

If Pompppeo doesn't turn out to be a mobbb bbboss I'l be very surprised.

Politico; can you investigate about money paid secretly to Pompeo, Guilliany, and Bolton to make propaganda against iran. I'm talking about big big money...!

nahaltoosi Sad how we can blame the biggest foreign policy failure in the past 20 years on Florida's dangling chads.

Mike Pompeo wants a war with Iran so of course the disgusting liar would blame them.

Wow such a Suprise with Trump's comments.

9/11 has not made these Swineshead to understand that no one has a Monopoly of VIOLENCE and STUPIDITY :

we are turning tale & retreating because we have a WH with no balls just a big mouth.

DoctorCara Thank God Hillary isn’t president... she would have left them and went to sleep!

Here we go again. This is what we do before we do something bad.

The United States is pulling diplomats out of the American consulate in Basra, Iraq, in the wake of violent incidents near the facility that John Bolton told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to blamed on Iran

The Shia won remember? Iraq was the balance against Iran. Remember? Now all apparently pay the price of the illegal war of GWB.

Wag the Dog.

Is this reasonable, we are back to before World War II,

WMD!

Iraq has been a total disaster. Biden was right the country is dissolving slowly into three pieces.

Iraq doesn't mind . You can pound Iran if they won't leave .

So Mikey wants to start a war

Trump admin trying any form of lies or tactics to create a war and put thousands of young men and women who are not their children, at risk of death for no reason.

Who wants to poke Pompeo’s belly?

Bolton.

and now orange45 will invent a war as distraction...

and here we go.
