A Boeing 737 carrying 180 people crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran because of technical problems, according to the Iranian Students News Agency, a state-run media agency.

The conditions of the passengers and crew were not immediately known.

The plane was bound for Ukraine, the news agency reported.  


Perfect, one can blame Iran, US, or whoever else for this that fits the narrative they believe.

I don't think Congress will be able to slow this down, the War Powers Resolution is vague enough that it might as well not exist, and they would need a veto proof majority to pass a new one.

Best chance of things slowing down enough to begin some sort of negotiation would probably be someone who can really kiss his ass and make him feel good, like Rand Paul or Lindsay Graham or even Mitch, convincing Trump that his maximum pressure strategy could have a worse result than Bush and Iraq and offering some scenario for him to back down and convince his followers he didn't actually back down and any negative side effects are 100% the democrats fault.

Where is Pelosi?  Congress needs to put the leash on Trump instead of just sitting by while he takes us to war.

Soliemani was on the ground, on the street next to the US Embassy, directing the attacks there.

There are actually laws about war.   We are/were not legally at war.  We are just there perpetually without permission from our government or theres.   Thats why its illegal.   

With that said, no one even has documentation linking him to the "hundreds of american deaths" myth being repeated by corporate media.

You can say that in all wars the other country's troops are in there illegally.

He did not threaten, Obama and other dickless wonders threatened. Trump kicked them in the balls!
NICE!

Our troops were in the country illegally.  IF iran had troops fighting in the streets of Kansas, would we bad for killing them?

Thats a dumb question because Iran doesn't invade other countries.

-    Iran officials and supporters of General Qassem Soleimani vowed vengeance for his death in US strike Friday
-    Trump tweeted: 'Should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner'
-    At a funeral procession forSoleimani, Iranians were urged to donate $1 each to raise the bounty
-    Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi threatened to attack White House during open session of parliament Sunday
-    MP's threat came after Trump warned that US would hit 52 targets representing victims of Iran hostage crisis
-    Iran has also announced that the country will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal
-    Earlier on Sunday, the Iraqi parliament voted for US troops to be expelled from the country, local reports say
-    Iran also threatened to hit 35 American targets in region, including US ships, following top general's death
-    His body was returned to Iran early Sunday to chants of 'Death to America' ahead of a three-day funeral
-    Iranians raised the blood-red 'flags of revenge' over the minarets at the revered Jamkaran Mosque
-    Thousands of US paratroopers from the 82 Airborne Division continue to deploy to the Middle East


Iran has since placed an $80million bounty on Trump's head and threatened to attack the White House in response to the president's warning that any strike on American interests in the region will bring massive retaliation.


An organizer for a funeral procession for General Qassem Soleimani called on all Iranians to donate $1 each 'in order to gather an $80million bounty on President Trump's head'.

The organizer made the remarks during the procession in Mashad.

Iran has also announced it they will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal.

A statement issued by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's administration said the country will not observe limitations on its enrichment, the amount of stockpiled enriched uranium as well as research and development in its nuclear activities.

It did not elaborate on what levels it would immediately reach in its program.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations watchdog observing Iran's program, could not be immediately reach for comment.

Earlier on Sunday, the Iraqi parliament voted for US troops to be expelled from the country. The vote will 'obligate the government to work towards ending the presence of all foreign troops on Iraqi soil,' the country's media office stated.

They simply don't want any more interventions and destruction

Actually it makes many country scared because of the strikes that has done by US that killed the general of iran. Honestly,  IRAN already raise a red llag in their mosque which signifies that a war is coming soon.  Hopefully this wont happen and will have peace on earth. 

I don't understand why would they attack it and bring war opon their people.
Or was it the Iraqi who wanted to get Iran even more involved? o.o
