Iraqi TV, Officials: Iran's Gen. Soleimani, Head of Elite Quds Force, Killed in Baghdad Airstrike

The view from Tehran: Soleimani's death is just the beginning

I cannot say what these developments will be, because decisions are made in back rooms by a very small group of people. It seems to me, however, that Iran is not declaring war nor is it preparing for war with the United States.

Although these decision-makers are preparing a retaliation for the targeted killing, it will happen at a time and a place convenient for them. It may be in the coming months or even in the coming years.

Iranians are patient people. There is also the element of surprise to consider.

The view from Tehran: Soleimani's death is just the beginning

Opinion: A Tehran-based journalist believes the world is not better since the U.S. killing of the top Iranian commander, claiming the regime's retaliation to the assassination will only make region more unstable

I beg to differ, Iranians(Iranian regime) are not a patient group of people. More like impatient people who resort to sectarianism and desperately trying to take over neighboring nations via proxy forces and violence. They are only 'patient' when they know they will pay a big price for their actions. And they are not a religious people and more a culturally religious people with their Persian fused type of Islam which is intend to modify Islam to their taste and culturally modify it to fit Persian ideals. As a result a lot of them are attached to this life and want to reap benefits of what their proxies achieve and do not want to die in war and are not spiritually or mentally prepared for war at all.

It is becoming more apparent that Iran is too cowardly to respond against the US. Now we are to see if the US is introducing a new strategy of targeting Iranian proxies in Iraq/Syria or just wanted to warn Iran not to employ its proxies to change status quo in Iraq.

Have some patience as it will take some time for this region to evolve and recover.

for how long? Shia of Iraq has to admit they are incapable of running the country period.

I am referring to the whole region but in case of Iraq the problem isn't Shia or Sunni it's that the democracy in Iraq is a sham due to presence of background militias led by popular military or religious figures. Those militias want to keep Iraq closer to Iran and also see themselves as protectors of Shia rule in Iraq. So yes some Shia's are to blame but many others aren't. Kurds are not helping with unifying Iraq either and some Sunni's too like ISIS are not helping if they keep saying the solution is to conquer the country completely.

All groups in Iraq if they want a future for their country need to be wise and mature and need to make big concessions towards one another. I'm afraid that's a pipe dream though, lol.

Btw I told you guys before not to trust Muqtada Al Sadr, he's not a good or wise person. I am baffled why such people are given authority/respect in our countries. That kind of respect should go to figures who actually work to improve the situation and figures who earn their credibility.

They want to corrupt Islam and push it towards cultural and blasphemy route which is going to enable Iran to gain influence over the region. Everyone that doesn't like Allah, Mohammed and Islam have the opportunity to join the new Farsi religion in which they attempt hijacking Islam to destroy it from within. But they are not going to succeed, don't worry, we have one more hardship to through and then Islam will rise again. And afterwards regardless of what hardships we go through we will be satisfied if Islam is renewed and good returns to the world.

You realize Persians/pro Iran twelve Shia do not want to do any Jihaad-Nafs. Which is to contain these desires to do shirk/blasphemy and other sins. They have a let your heart out approach and that's why their ideology is all over the place and full of innovations and lies. Because they gave in to the shaytaan quite easily. And they are attached to this world and not attached to Allah(SWT). Like some Christians they like to put fake pictures of religious figures all over the place which is forbidden in Islam but they are not true monotheists and don't truly believe in Allah, they think Islam is a product of man and they want to make it a cultural possession of theirs by moving it towards Persian angle more. This is why their pictures of Hassan /Ali/Hussein they make them like girls with Persian eyebrows and Iranian nose surgery nose. Hassan/Hussein did not look like that.

And then the worse part is they ask these dead figures for tawfeeq and other support which is shirk and only can you ask Allah for Madd and Tawfeeq.

Some hardcore iranian nationalists actually support the regime purely for this reason. They view shiaism as Islam corrupted by persian ideas and practices and see it as a way to fight sunni Islam which of course they associate with the Sahaba who brought their persian empire to an end.

There was some guy on twitter who prayed for soleimani after his death and used a sassanian empire flag in his majoosi ritual lol.

Lol, that's exactly true. Lots of them are nationalists who don't care for religion but nevertheless they find the Hussein picture/chant thing and Persian looking guys appealing since they don't mind trying to hijack Islam from within. They are similar to the Christians who put tattoos of the cross and pictures of Jesus and say 'God is Love' but don't lead a lifestyle anything remotely similar to Hussein or Jesus.

If you really believe in God and want to dedicate yourself him then you need to show it. It's not about tattoos and pictures and screaming/pretending you care about these figures. God is not a human and will not be seen by any of us until we die. People need to understand that. Worship him without seeing him and you will get a big reward.

Btw, I am annoyed by those people who suggest proclaiming to fight Israel/US means they are the Muslims following the right path. Why is that? Are they aware Islam isn't needed for two groups of people to dispute? And are they aware Persians used to fight the Romans and the Greeks and they weren't Muslim then? Just some food for thought.

It's one of the many Iraqi militias, although at this point it may not be organized and more conducted at individuals behest.
