Peace on hold: Welcome to 2020

…new years kisses have dried. The confetti in Times Square is already a distant memory this second day of 2020 .. with this new year’s hopeful wishes as the clock struck midnight on a new decade came bombs bursting in Iraq and a large scale protest at the US Embassy in Baghdad. American media largely called it ‘Iranian’ sympathizers. There are deeper reasons for the season.. there are decades of war even before the previous two decades of war since the United States led an invasion for Weapons of Mass Destruction…

Tonight news broke of a missile attack in Iraq.. Sources quickly found out what occurred:

The Pentagon said late Thursday night that the U.S. military has killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, at the direction of President Donald Trump.

Soleimani has been called the head of Iran’s regional security apparatus.

He was killed at Baghdad’s international airport Friday, Iranian state television and three Iraqi officials said..

The attack is now expected to draw severe Iranian retaliation against Israel and American interests.

The Defense Department said Soleimani “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.” It also accused Soleimani of approving the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad earlier this week.





And the rest WILL BE history.. yet to be written..
