Today, Iran's Supreme Leader warned of "harsh retaliation" after a U.S. airstrike killed Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force.

We often think of the Middle East as a semi-destroyed warring hellscape. Thats not actually true. In every town, in every village, in every hamlet there's a shiny clean toyota dealership. You walk in and its perfectly air-conditioned. The floors gleam. The cars glitter. The staff smile and help. You might even bump shoulders with some guy in camo but don't think twice

I just love how you are saying that iraqi people should not side with iran . because america will come from the other side of the world make your country hell . Iraq and iran are allies because they share intrests and values . Unlike usa iran didn't invade iraq , we showed them our friendship and they accepted it . If usa has a problem with that then it can get out of our neighborhood !

Iraqi officials in this video very ungrateful. They forgot when Saddam was terrorizing them and west countries helped Saddam which country host them and supported them. They forgot Saddam attacked Iran with support of United State and Europe and caused Iran 300000 death after war Iran didn't ask for penalty on Iraqi since Iraq was weak after us attack in 2003 . They forgot when isis attack north of Iraq and they were near Baghdad it was Iran sent military to help them and only God knows how many Iranian died in Iraq fighting with isis . And Iran spent noticable money to rebuild holy cities in Iraq to host millions of people visiting there each year. Politic men corrupt usually no matter which country .
