Soleimani was planning jihad attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq, but from the standpoint of the mullahs (and all other Islamic supremacists), the fault never lies with them. They never take any responsibility for their actions. Every action by infidels is gratuitous and unwarranted, and requires revenge.
“Iran taunts Trump and says plans for ‘revenge’ over the drone strike that killed General Qassem Soleimani are ‘obvious, serious and real’ – after reports of a plot to assassinate a US ambassador,” by Andrew Court, Dailymail.com, September 20, 2020:
The chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has threatened revenge on everyone who played a role in the death of General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike in January.
On Saturday, the Revolutionary Guard released a statement from General Hossein Salami, which featured a direct message to US President Donald Trump.
‘Mr. Trump! Our revenge for martyrdom of our great general is obvious, serious and real!’ the statement – posted on the Revolutionary Guard’s website – read.
Earlier this week, Trump warned that Washington would harshly respond to any Iranian attempts to take revenge for the death of Soleimani.
He tweeted: ‘If they [Iran] hit us in any way, any form, written instructions already done we´re going to hit them 1000 times harder.’
The president’s warning came in response to a report that Iran was plotting to assassinate the US Ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks, in retaliation for Soleimani’s killing.
‘We took out the world’s number one terrorist and the mass murderer of American troops and many, many troops and many people all over the world,’ Trump said. ‘Qasem Soleimani is dead. He’s´s dead. Bad guy. Bad guy. Very bad guy.’
But in the statement put out on Saturday, Salami rejected the report of an Iranian plot to assassinate Marks, but made clear that Iran intends to avenge the general’s death.
‘Do you think we hit a female ambassador in return to our martyred brother?´ the general said.
We will hit those who had direct and indirect roles. You should know that everybody who had role in the event will be hit, and this is a serious message. We do prove everything in practice.’
American officials said they had been made aware of threats towards Marks, 66, since the spring but the intelligence detail has suddenly become more specific in recent weeks….

President Trump had shown wisdom in ordering that US drone airstrike which eliminated that brutal, violent and murderous Iranian terrorists commander , at the Baghdad airport, is this is the best way of sending those cruel ruthless jihad –minded rulers in power in the “mullah regime “ of Iran a message in the only language that they will understand. Which is a message sent with and by the power of strong military might.
Soleimani was a very vicious and dangerous man. Therefore it was necessary that he was eliminated.
As Thomas Jefferson had, so clearly, declared, “With every barbarous people …force is law.”
patricia triggs says
Agreed Walter, Trump has shown so much wisdom since he’s been in office, it is the only way to deal with these mad mullah’s, to fight fire with fire.
He has warned them he will hit them a 1000 times harder if they try anything, and they no darn well he will. These cowards wont do anything while Trump is still President, but it could be a different story if Biden got in.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps top dog on Soleimani killing: ‘Everybody who had role in the event will be hit’
………………
More over the top saber rattling and threats from Iran–this time from General Salami…
tim gallagher says
As other commenters have pointed out, don’t these clowns love to talk big with the threats they make. I wonder if even the people in Iran just yawn and say, oh, not more of this bullshit from these big talking fools.

So, planning on taking a trip to Iraq anytime soon?

It’s easy to blow this off as some kind of Islamic rhetoric meant for their own followers, but I do not believe it is. Nor do I underestimate an enemy. Once they have their own national nuclear capability, and they will, soon, they can act with more impunity. And their rhetoric has begun to match that confidence they have in their plans. Meanwhile, we are distracted by our internal political struggles. Anyone want to bet Iran has a hand in that too, a connection to BLM/Antifa? I’ve heard that a fair number of rioters have a segment of Muslims embedded within the rest in order to actively take part in and encourage the mayhem.
