U.S. & Iran: Wages of aggression

The Hindu  

MORE facts and details are emerging about the motivation behind the targeted killing on January 3 of Iran’s top general, Qassem Soleimani, on the orders of United States President Donald Trump. It now emerges that Trump had taken an executive decision to kill the leader of the Quds Force much before the rocket attack on the K-1 Iraqi military base in Kirkuk, which U.S. soldiers shared with Iraqi troops. Refused to heed warning In the first week of November, Iraq’s National Security Council sent a report to the U.S. stating that the Daesh was trying to target the K-1 base. Speaking to the media after attending the Munich Security Conference in the third week of February, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said that the killing of Soleimani “was an act of terror” and warned that the U.S. could not “remain immune from the consequences”. He warned Iran against retaliating militarily, threatening fire and brimstone and even to target Iranian cultural sites if there were casualties among U.S. troops as a result of an Iranian military response.
