Top Iranian General Killed in Airstrike

[ecco]

Ergo they need the US to enforce international law.

That's really funny. Don't you realize that it is a violation of International Law to assassinate someone?

Also...
International law aside, there also has been a U.S. executive order in place since 1976 forbidding the U.S. from carrying out political assassinations. The order came into being after revelations that the CIA had organized or sanctioned assassination attempts against foreign leaders including Fidel Castro.

Trump's order to Kill Iran's general is "act of war" says Tehran's U.N. envoy: "There will be harsh revenge"
TRUMP'S ORDER TO KILL IRAN'S GENERAL IS 'ACT OF WAR' SAYS TEHRAN'S U.N. ENVOY: 'THERE WILL BE HARSH REVENGE'​

saying something is an act of war is NOT a declaration of war. Further, you seem to be missing the important part here, that Iran is RESPONDING TO THE US' ACTIONS. To put it in playground terms "you started it".

Iran: New York, LA, other cities boost security after Soleimani deathLeaders in major American cities ramped up security measures in the wake of a U.S.-ordered airstrike that killed Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani. New York City and Los Angeles officials announced they are monitoring for potential retaliation.​

Iran strike puts U.S. cybersecurity experts on alert
Cybersecurity professionals across the U.S. expressed a mixture of concern and caution Friday, with many explicitly saying that they are gearing up for potential retaliation from Iran, which has already proven in recent years to be a formidable adversary in the cyber realm.​

Israel braces for possible Iranian retaliation after U.S. strike on Soleimani
Israeli officials say the country is bracing for possible Iranian retaliation after the U.S. killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani — and has started taking precautionary measures.

​

Yep, nothing new going on at all.

I missed the part where Iran has actually engaged in hostilities against the US 4or did anything other than sabre rattling. And just FYI, since Americans need to be periodically reminded of the fact for some bizarre reason, Israel is not actually a part of the US

It's almost as if the US didn't ratify the ICJ treaties for a reason.

Iran never responds by threatening to kill civilians.

I live in Iran and I do not hear that any one says Iran must kill American cicilians.

 

[Stanyon]

Trump kills a general and Iran responds by threatening to kill civilians. Seems fair.

Add to that it was one of the generals that was fully responsible for rape, torture, and genocide as SOP (standard operating procedure) in Syria.

Then:

now:

Looks like business as usual

 

[Wandering Monk]

Iran never responds by threatening to kill civilians.

No, they do it through their proxies.

 

[Stanyon]

Iran never responds by threatening to kill civilians.

They just do it and in the terrorist world there are no innocent civilians, only targets. Remember the smell and screaming of the burning goats?

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2011


I always said @BarackObama will attack Iran, in some form, prior to the election.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 16, 2012


Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

Don’t let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected–be careful Republicans!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2012


I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2013


Remember what I previously said–Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 25, 2013


Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

Perchance you are the one who is brainwashed, or both of us may be.

I just realized that the guy in my avatar killed the guy in your avatar

it is a violation of International Law to assassinate someone

It's a violation of human rights to order rape, torture, and genocide.
He deserved worse than what he got

Yep, and it's called "projection".

 

[oldbadger]

More bombs, more soldiers. It is not his family which will get caught in the cross-fire. I appreciate that you understand. If it escalates, it will be another unnecessary war.

Sure thing .
I reckon it's all about getting votes from sabre rattlets, end of day.

 

[oldbadger]

I wouldn't be surprised if the leaders of those European countries have had their ambassadors contact their Iranian counterparts and say: Hey, we had nothing to do with what the idiot Trump did.

Fair enough.
And they would be telling the truth

Trump didn't win the popular vote and he ran on a no new war ticket.

Who threatened to kill civilians?

 

[oldbadger]

Who threatened to kill civilians?

Good question
The risk for civilians could be that extremists target them.
But governments will be very wary of all foreigners now.

Who pulls the strings on many extremist groups around the world? Iran.

OMG!
Honi soit qui mali pense.
How twisted that looks now.
It's in his mind so he sees it in his adversaries.
What will history say about him?

 

[Revoltingest]

Dear ecco,
In Iran a martyr is a good man/woman whom is killed by tyrants and terrorists like Trump.
Your saying is indeed the reflection of a version of Islam which is shown to you in your media.

We do indeed have a media problem.
Even "liberal" news media sport anti-Iran propaganda,
eg, NPR. They've created a false impression that Iranians
hate us. That raises the likelihood of & tolerance for war.
They should be ashamed.
