“Not only will Iranian leaders retaliate but also Iraqis will retaliate.
“The Americans have murdered Iraqi war heroes, this was a senior Iraqi government official.
“The American position in Iraq is no longer sustainable and I think that the whole region is now a threat.”
“The whole region’s future is unclear because of the terrorist attack committed in Iraq. No matter how you frame it, it’s the equivalent of assassinating the British commander of the British armed forces.”
“This is essentially a declaration of war against Iran and they have a pretty wide menu from which to choose [as a form of retaliation]”
The US Military has approximately 5000 troops in Iraq, making them a high priority target for the Iranian regime.
