The Pentagon announces the elimination of the Iranian IRGC on the orders of Trump

66

On January 3, 2020, near the international airport of Baghdad (Iraq), as a result of a missile “defensive strike” by the United States, the commander of the special unit “Quds” (“Cods”) of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) of Iran Major General Kassem Suleimani was killed. The Pentagon has already stated that a special operation to eliminate (kill) a high-ranking Iranian military in Iraq was carried out by order of US President Donald Trump.

It should be noted that as a result of this action eight people were killed and this, without a doubt, will lead to even greater tension in the region. Five of those killed were representatives of the local Iraqi Shiite militia, including Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of the Iraqi People’s Mobilization Force. One civilian was also killed (in his car). In addition, twelve Iraqi troops were injured.

The US Armed Forces, in accordance with the President’s directive, resolutely carried out defensive actions, destroying the head of the Kuds KISR terrorist organization Kassem Suleimani’s defense team in defense of United States overseas personnel

- reported in a statement by the Pentagon.

The Americans emphasize that Suleimani "was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and military personnel in Iraq and the entire region." Therefore, Washington had to strike at Suleimani to deter Iran from future attacks against the United States.

However, according to the American media, the Pentagon is completely unsure of Suleimani’s death and believes that DNA analysis will be required to confirm it. It is specified that the body of Suleymani was identified by the ring that he wore. At the same time, the US Armed Forces are on high alert.

                        Unlike the Soviet Union, Israel was not the first to experience complexes about the outbreak of war. Therefore, on June 5, 1967, Israeli Air Force aircraft launched simultaneous air strikes at all Egyptian airfields.
                        UN Security Council 22 November 1967 adopted a resolution providing for the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from the territories occupied during the Six Day War. However, it is known that it was not executed by the Israeli side.

          Where does such knowledge come from? Apparently, you wanted to say that the shah’s regime was pro-American and Israeli, and therefore consider it more democratic?

          The internal politics of the Shah of Iran was distinguished by authoritarianism and a desire to suppress any opposition tendencies. The main enemies of the regime were proclaimed Communists and Islamists, against whom brutal repressions were undertaken.
          In the fight against internal opposition, the Shah relied on a policy of harsh terror against his opponents. A powerful and extensive SAVAK security service network was created (Sazman-e Ettela'at va Amniyat-e Keshvar - Country Information and Security Service). Direct assistance to the Shah in the creation of special services was provided by specialists from the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. Over the years of the existence of the ominous intelligence service of SAVAK, about 380 thousand people were tortured in Iran. In prisons of the Shah’s regime, counterintelligence officers used the most brutal torture, of course, denied at the official level. Tortures by electric current, injuries of the genitals, and tooth extraction - all these bullying and torment against the opposition were regularly practiced in the dungeons of the Shah’s regime.
          It came from the Shah and national minorities. Iran is a multinational country, and the Persians do not even make up the majority of the population. Nevertheless, taking a course towards Persian nationalism, the Shah government oppressed the peoples living in the west, south, east of Iran - Kurds, Azerbaijanis, Turkmens, and Balochs. The latter often revolted against the central government.
          ...... the Islamic Revolution that took place in February ended with the creation of a new type of state, unparalleled in the modern Muslim world. The next three-plus decades of Iran’s history are the way to go. turning the country into a developed modern power of regional significance, which was able to combine scientific, technical and economic progress with the preservation of traditional cultural and religious values.

Well, if they could break their jaw, break a brick on their head, withstand five hits on the press, drink a bubble of vodka from their throats, this is a professor, but they don’t understand that it’s unpleasant for ordinary people, they’re sitting and writing something. And to them the state must pay money for this. So do you think?

                    Not at all. Not in my opinion. There is a professor teaching students who is engaged in creativity and self-perfection, but at the same time he does not agree with the authorities for one or another of its decisions, this is normal.
                    1. It is abnormal when this professor receives grants from the power that he hates and continues to scold her ...
                    2. It is abnormal when this professor receives grants from a country that imposes sanctions against the country where he was born and lives, for his scientific articles, monographs, etc., in which he disagrees with the authorities for one or another of its decisions. ..
                    In both the first and second cases, if this professor receives money from the hated "REGIME" or from a foreign state that is fighting against his country, he is a PROSTITUTE .... regardless of his gender, male or female .. ...

                      In fact, 90% of researchers do not receive any grants, but live on a well-earned salary. And you think that any person can be bought with a grant? Even if he received a grant from the state (not just from representatives of political authority, this, as you rightly wrote, is the taxpayers' money) for scientific activity (and no one gives anything to the other), he is now obliged to give up his conscience and beliefs licking someone’s boots?

              At least four rockets exploded as a result of an attack on a military base north of Baghdad, where US forces are deployed. This was announced on Sunday by Al Arabiya, citing a representative of the Iraqi security forces.

            No, not Trotskyist. I am a Stalinist. It seems that nothing is pushed, the hammer and sickle on the flag should be in the corner, but where do you think? Most likely, it is with your eyes when you see the Soviet flag. Maybe this is fear?

    The Gulag was one huge synagogue from the top to the top, Trotsky has something to be proud of, the countrymen did not disappoint, there was no need to be shy and pretend to be a sheep.
