Iran condemns US airstrike that killed top commander as ‘foolish’

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif tweeted that the US airstrike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Forces, is a "dangerous and foolish escalation."
Soleimani — the head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force unit — and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis — the deputy head of the Iran-backed Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) — were among those killed in the attack early Friday morning local time, according to a statement from the PMF, which said the pair "were martyred by an American strike."
The killing of Soleimani, one of the most powerful men in Iran and the wider region, is is an audacious and unexpected move that marks a major escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran that can be traced back to Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

    1. This one is better guys :

      Pelosi to Trump: Why can’t you deal with mother Russia !

      Trump: I like to grab smaller pussies

    2. The Democrats are outraged that President Trump took out another terrorist.
      Treasonous bastards, denounce your underserved American citizenship and get on the first plane to Iran!

    1. Hunter Moore so he deserved to die for that? What planet do you live on? And how do you know he organized the people? Where’d you hear that from? Irans top general organizing a mob of people to cause disturbance!?!!! How stupid does that sound?!!!

    2. @Kass Bazzi so its bad a terrorist is killed. He killed 10s of thousands of people throughout the middle east. If you support him then you are a terrorist too. Salami can rest in peices.

    1. He was wrong, history is a fake made up cycle of events recurring over n over until the masses wake up, and oh well put them back to sleep. Wars are great for this.

    2. Don’t have an Iranian General, in Iraq, and he won’t get killed. It’s like having a NK General in the U.S.A., that is not on a diplomatic mission.

    3. @Keno 1900 no it will be started by china…due to south china sea disputes! China is quietly doing the same thing Germany did all those years back with expansions of other countries territories but china is doing it in a much less aggressive manner.its the same thing only germany did it by land…china is currently doing it by water! For they have learned n studied the failers of both germany n japan in ww2…they kno in order to win u must first over take n dominate the sea not land! Facts! First invation? Tiawian then vietnam…stay woke! But usa wnt allow it! China will be the start og ww3!

    1. xxx xxx explain how?? How much crude oil does America produce? Btw it’s far more than any other country and they now export more than they import.

    2. xxx xxx yikesyou are misinformed 😬. America has never sought out a empire so please explain to me how they are imperialist? They would be expansionist or globalist nation but faaaaaar from imperialist.

    1. Pedros1and2 are there Irani and middle eastern troops deployed on American soil or in the west? I don’t think so. Americans live their daily lives with no foreign involvement on their soil. Middle eastern naturally would want to attack American troops who have taken over THEIR SOIL

    2. @Pedros1and2 You do not understand. Killing Soleimani is good for South Arabia and Isreal first then USA. Why should we pay for that not them?

    3. @Yuki Senjuku arr..correction…drinking WATER is a natural thing….dont know what fkt up family you come from to say this is normal…..

  1. *What’s up my fellow epic gamers! Be ready for the new cod ww3 and always KEEP in mind that we are playing in VETERAN mode which is there’s is NO Respawn System*

    1. 45 is a Master of Diversion – he took a chance on starting WWIII to divert a Nation away from his upcoming impeachment. He’s a loose cannon that should be removed from office.

    2. @Ann Venne MacKenzie why is he allowed to doing anything this serious.
      He is a child and these stupid military personnel are warmongers.
      Hope the die for trump.
      Fucking Iran can’t punch back.
      Wonder if they built a nuke inside the USA. Near the fucking white White House. USA not so geographically far away… big and powerful bully.
      USA shouldn’t be warring with anybody. Too big and strong feared and hated.
      Putin’s agenda is to get USA destruction.
      Clownish trump gonna hide under ground when they blow up the eastern USA.
      We are all suckers who allowed these shitty leaders to murder us with a push of button.

    3. @Carlo Jones lol how will they do that. Ive heard russia has missles that go 14machs. Ive also heard the usa has planes that go 20mach. Classified obv.

    4. @Ann Venne MacKenzie hes already impeached twat and look how much that did. Hes not diverting nothing. He already won 2020 too. Get over it.

    1. its just like North Korea. it wont be a war. it will be a massacre. troops in these countries are not professional. they are not fed well. yet the the media hypes it up for views.

    2. @TheRandomGamer we didn’t exactly win the Korean war ya know…or the Vietnam war.. and this will probably be used as recruiting propaganda to enlist more muslims… so we aren’t winning the war on terror either.

    1. Larry Rosol Lol it almost does seem sometimes that they hate Trump so much it drives them to side with our real enemies.

    1. True but Bush was an idiot. It is what it is. President Trump is cleaning up Bush and Obama’s mess.

  2. Your Headline “Iran condemns US air strike” is impressive. CNN, you obviously have a keen sense of the obvious.
