Iran's response to the Soleimani assasination

The pro-Trump Right, which was anti-war (decreasingly so),seems today to be scrambling to justify this reaction which, there is no doubt, came straight from their hero.

We are being told to "trust the plan"

Those who are talking about a nuclear attack by Iran are lying. Remember the quality of "intelligence" in 2003?

I suspect payback will come from an unexpected direction

Millions took to the streets of Iran after Friday prayers, mourning the USA assassination of General Soleimani. A Government Spokesperson: “our response will shock America to the core.”

The following Bullet Points Cover the Immediate Reactions to the US Attack which killed the Iran General:
  • Foreign oil companies are evacuating dozens of American employees from Basra, Iraq
  • US State Dept tells US citizens to leave Iraq immediately
  • IRGC confirms four senior members were killed whilst accompanying Soleimani:

    1- General Hussein Jaafari Naya
    2- Colonel Shahroud Muzaffari Niya
    3- Major Hadi Tarmi
    4-Captain Waheed Zamanian
  • Khamenei literally said at the National Security meeting: "I want a clear and decisive response"

Under TIRANNT, cruise missiles would be unleashed from ships in the Gulf and bombs dropped from formations of B-52 Stratofortress as well as B-2 stealth warplanes.

More than 10,000 targets.
Qais al-Khazali, Secretary-General of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (part of Iraqi PMU), has told his fighters (10000-20000) to prepare for an imminent war.

Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq conducted 6000 (!) attacks on US occupying forces inside Iraq between 2004 and 2009.

Iran-backed Kataiyb Hezbollah militia announced opening the door for volunteers wishing to carry out suicide attacks against US forces in Iraq

Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei:

From now on, Iran will have the right to shed the blood of any American figure in the world and respond in kind, especially resorting to the option of assassinations of American officials !!!

This seems to be a bit of a meme on the Right.  They will strike back but not in the USA.

Iran Has Hezbollah Sleeper Cells In The US Ready To Strike

3 January, 2019

The threat posed by Iran-backed Hezbollah sleeper cells embedded in major American cities has once again come to the fore following the killing of Iran’s Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani.
Following last night’s assassination of the Iranian military leader, authorities in both New York and Los Angeles announced that they were ramping up security in readiness for possible revenge attacks on U.S. soil.
This is because Iran is known to have placed Hezbollah terrorist sleeper cells throughout not just Europe but the United States too.
Last year, the the criminal prosecution and conviction in New York of the Hezbollah operative Ali Kourani revealed that the terror outfit has already plotted to attack U.S. interests inside the country and is ready to activate if it considers the existence of either Hezbollah or Iran to be at stake.
Following the arrest of Kourani and another Hezbollah operative named Samer el-Debek, the U.S. intelligence community reversed its belief that Hezbollah was unlikely to attempt attacks within the U.S.
“It’s our assessment that Hezbollah is determined to give itself a potential homeland option as a critical component of its terrorism playbook,” said National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen.
“We in the intelligence community do in fact see continued activity on behalf of Hezbollah here inside the homeland,” he added.
Hezbollah has never directly attacked the U.S. homeland, but Kourani, working for the Hezbollah-controlled Islamic Jihad Organization, was confirmed to have been conducting surveillance of FBI and U.S. Secret Service offices, as well as a U.S. Army armory and John F. Kennedy International Airport, all in New York City.
In casing both JFK and Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, “Kourani told the FBI that he provided Hezbollah with details about security procedures, the uniforms worn by security officers, and whether the officers were armed. His surveillance, Kourani told the FBI, focused on exit points, security checkpoints, camera locations, baggage claim procedures, and what questions airport screeners asked passengers,” reported ForeignPolicy.com.
With the world now waiting for Iran’s response to Soleimani’s killing, we can only hope that it doesn’t come in the form of a massive Hezbollah-backed terror attack targeting a major American city.
