    Hard to say, but I bet that would be part of Iran's plan. Bad idea to do it though because Israel would fuck their shit up.

    She is making a stand, she's apologizing on behalf of the United States

    It would appear you and her are united in that.

    I usually stay far far away from politics at work, but couldn't bite my tongue on this in the lunchroom. Colleagues saying 'He's going to start a war, so bad, why do that, blah blah...'

    I reminded them gently that this guy might've been the most culpable individual of state sponsored terrorism in the Middle East, perhaps the world. From what I've read he was meeting with the guy who organized the Embassy attack, probably to congratulate him or some shit. It's not that complicated: if you don't want to be smoked by a predator drone... don't go meet with terrorists in Iraq!

    Of course it's more complicated and nuanced, this guy was also beloved in Iran for being the face of 'standing up to America' for decades, but hopefully the Iranian people can see through the propaganda and understand this guy wasn't just paying lip service, he was a true piece of shit leading terrorist organizations and deserved to die.

    I'm curious why you would think that. I imagine Iran is trying to work out ways to hurt the US now

    It worries me too... it's a bold move to finally assassinate this POS. Part of me thinks and hopes nothing will happen because Iran must know they pushed it long enough, but the fear mongers online are saying 'people don't realize but this is going to be a defining moment of the decade.' Only time will tell.

    I think RBP hit he nail on the head.

    Charles Lister, director of the Countering Terrorism and Extremism program at the Middle East Institute in Washington D.C, predicts Israel is a likely target. It always is when predicting what Iran will do

    Lister said possible targets for Iranian retribution include Israel; the Al-Udeid air base in the city of Doha, where U.S. troops are stationed; and U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf, particularly Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
    Israel must agree, they placed troops on higher alert.

    Another one he didn't mention that I'd be willing to bet on are oil tankers.
