    They hoped the first Gulf War would fail too.
    This is why they only talk about the second
    Gulf War.

    According to your sources. I was listening to an expert in the field talking last night and that is the information she gave. He was not seen as corrupt. He apparently lived in a very modest house. He was not seen as part of the Regime and he was seen as working for the people of Iran. I will take her word. You are however absolutely wrong about saying
    That is the opposite of the truth.

    It seems Iran has decided to deal with this through International Law - what the US has given up. The suggestion by Gardiner on the BBC just now is that Zarif saying their response is concluded is his response and the end of the Official response from Iran and in this contrary to the US, Iran has gone by International Law and so will be winning the support of the world.

    He believes that it is more than likely that we have still to see the proper response from the hardliners which will not come officially from Iran.

    Yup, but I could say that would be that guy from Kansas namely Mike Pompeo.

    Iran is suggesting 80 Americans have been killed. I have no idea how they would know.

    In this case, Israel is meaningless.

    Iran knows that they are militarily inferior to the US. They'll probably prefer guerrilla warfare. I think something like a second 9/11 is on its way ... :(

    "Peace" activists
    American Left - Marxists, Trotskyists etc..
    I remember people falling in the street in theatrical displays about how American
    bombs would kill Iraqis. They spoke about a coming ecological catastrophe if the
    oil wells catch on fire etc.. And this gave Sadaam the idea of torching all the oil
    wells.

    Let them think it. Israel does this - recall when Lebanon attacked Israelis on the border
    last year? Israel let them think they killed some servicemen, it helped cool the situation.

    We are all familiar with the unique stench when rubber burns are we not? Why should this be any different? It smells of "hamburger".

    This reminds me of the good 'ol days of Ho Chi Minh.
    This Communist killer was portrayed to the Useful Idiots
    as a dear, kindly man who loved the children.
    Never mind he used the murder of children in the south
    as a terror weapon.
    And then there's the saintly Uncle Mao. And who can
    forget... Uncle Joe.

    Much ado about nothing—Iran couldn’t beat a kid’s paint ball team.

    As for Trump, not a big fan, but this was brilliant—Iran declared war on America, justice, reason, Individualism, and liberty on 11/4/1979 and has slaughtered Americans without fear of reprisals for 40 years.

    For a brilliant analysis, watch this:

    Yes and no. But the attacks on Israel and American personnel was slowly ramping
    up. And he was the architect of a lot of it.
    We never had this capability going back 70 years. Now we can target a single
    individual instead of a whole army.

    I will just answer one of your posts. The US is the country which is responsible for any aggression re Iran. They reneged on an international Treaty in order to have the opportunity to destroy Iran. On the day they murdered this man he we hear was in Iraq to meet with the Saud's to speak of ways to de-escalate the situation. They were having second thoughts after the attack on their oil refineries. The US knew of this meeting and this presumably is how they knew where they were to kill them. If the US want to call the terror attack which murdered this man an assassination they need to be aware that is against their own law. Israel may assassinate their political opponents but the US does not have that right under US law.

    As far as Israel is concerned. Israel has been killing Iranians for years. She probably has killed hundreds of them so do not give this false information pretending it is Iran who has been the aggressor.

    You have adopted the point of view of Iran and Hezbollah - your words sound they are
    straight from the mouths of killers - Iran's Khamenei and Hezbollah's Nasrallah.
    Most analysts believe that if America left the Middle East then eventually Israel and Iran
    would go to war. And as it is with Taiwan, Sth Korea, Japan in the east - the Americans
    act like a stabilizing influence on an area where Sunni, Kurd, Shiite, Jew, Allowite and
    many other groups hate each other's guts.

    Israel didn't kill hundreds of Iranians....you exaggerate as usual..., probably less than 10.
    And like I said before you already used this "he was working for peace" nonsense with Ahmed Jabari, Hamas commander whose death started "Pillar of defense", I made a joke there is a new game in Gaza....Ahmed Jabari 1000 pieces puzzle....remember now? :)

    Iran does have a score to settle with Israel, but you and alexa are both right. There have been hundreds of casualties from Israel's attacks against bases which are linked to Iran (have Iranian officers acting as advisers or commanders). Most of those casualties have been other nationalities The number of actual Iranians killed have been around 10.

    BS. They’ll be as boring as ever. No war. Iran will remain a hellhole of depravity, deprivation, despair, under a brutal Islamic dictatorship. And America will still be a Mister Whimple.

    Really ? you mean once the score is settled you'll leave us alone ?
    Didn't think so, it's not a score, we are mortal enemies since you had your revolution and it's by your choice so stop with the victim act, you woke America with all your ego nonsense now deal with it.
