The haka warrior who have danced from Friday, president Donald Trump and the supreme leader Ali Khamenei has already been performed finally with a sort of preventive attack iran after the devastating blow u.s. that took the life of general Qasem Soleimai, enemy ‘number one’ of Washington, Israel and the countries of the sunnis of the middle East.
despite the rhetoric warmongering of the “slap in the face to Satan”, Khamenei and the dome of the Islamic Republic seem to have been familiar with the narrative gestures of a property tycoon, settled in the White House. The launch of dozens of missiles ground-to-ground against the bases iraqi Ain al-Asad and Erbil, with prominent american military presence, is reminiscent of the offensive retaliation with a deluge of Tomahawk ordered with great fuss by Trump in 2017 and 2018 against suspected chemical attacks of the syrian regime.

The powerful militias shiites, remote control in Baghdad from Tehran, they can be in charge of completing that goal.
in Anticipation of the current apaciguadora, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned a few hours after the iranian attack in Iraq that “Israel will respond strongly if it is attacked”. Nothing new in the doctrine of exorbitant military deterrence of the jewish State since its creation almost 72 years. The words of the head of the Government Hebrew to justify the targeted killing of the head of the Quds Force of the Guardians of the iranian Revolution were later repeated almost literally by Trump in the White House.
The militia, lebanese Hezbollah, the main force of shock proiraní in the nearly nine years of war in Syria, he called out to avenge the death of the general, to whose orders they fought.

The message seemed to be aimed at both Israel and Hizbullah and other militias affiliated to shi’a. The Kremlin would have sent stop so the regional extension of a conflict that still threatens to become the third Gulf war.
