Of course the terror leaders are heroes of global counter-terrorism, just as the quintessential Washington establishment swamp rat is going to bring reform to the U.S. government. Come on, man!

I think the concept of hypocricy may not exist in Arabi or Farsi, but I think their meaning of Counter Terrorism refers to the war that is being waged against Islam (in their imagination) not the war being waged against Islamist terrorism against the non Muslim world. Their religious concepts
see the latter as just and mandated by ‘Allah’. Like Nazism, Islam is intended to dominate the world

Celebrating Solemani , in Iran, as some kind of “heroic man ” is not only absurd and nothing but nonsense but is event also exposes just how deluded and far from reality those mullahs , who have much power, actually are .
For Solemani was dangerous vicious and violent man yet those Iranian mullahs praise him asa “hero”.the reality was and still is that it was necessary that he was eliminated by that American military drone strike .
As the Bible informs it’s reader “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.” Proverbs 28:4. [N.K.J.V.]

Shame to and on those mullahs of Iran who make the wicked man,Soleimani , out to be a :”hero.”
The Bible reads “Who to those who call evil good and good evil…” Isaiah 5:20. [N.K.J.V.]

Iran to host ‘Heroes of Global Counter-Terrorism’ festival celebrating Soleimani and Muhandis in Iraq
…………………..
In other words, these “heroes of global counter-terrorism” are actually *terrorists*.
Keep this in mind the next time Muslims say they oppose terrorism.

One Year Without Soleimani – A Weaker Islamic Republic
Opinion-Analysis
Qasem Soleimani’s death one year ago has had significant consequences for the Islamic Republic, its leader Ali Khamenei, the Revolutionary Guards and its Qods Force, Iran’s proxy forces in the region and for the Middle East, and in general it has weakened the regime in Iran.
The death of the commander of proxy forces
Soleimani was the chief commander of Iran’s proxy forces in the Middle East. He directly commanded the Hashd al-Shaabi and its multitude of Shiite militia groups in Iraq, the Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, Afghan and Pakistani militias fighting in Syria (Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun) and to an extent the Palestinian Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
These groups are the Islamic Republic’s muscle against adversaries in all the regional countries where they are based and its tools for expanding influence. Soleimani was not only the commander of these groups but the founder of some of them, such as the Iraqi militias and the Afghan fighting units. He was also the architect who linked all the proxy forces and coordinated them as a network for advancing the Islamic Republic’s strategic goals. After his death, the successor Esmail Ghaani has been unable to fully play Soleimani’s role as the glue that bounded these forces.

Soleimani, Iran’s key player in the Middle East
The general killed by a US airstrike on January 3, 2020 in Baghdad was also Iran’s chief diplomat in the region, far more powerful than the foreign minister. This commanding position was due to the personal and special trust Khamenei had in Soleimani. Ghaani has not been able to play such a role.
One good example is Mustafa Al-Kadhimi becoming Iraq’s prime minister after Soleimani’s death. Kadhimi is more independent from Iran than his predecessors. While Soleimani exercised far stronger influence in Iraqi politics, his successor Ghaani failed to control events and allowed a person opposed to Iran-backed Shiite groups to become prime minister.
There are signs of less activism by the Qods (Quds) force also in Syria, the Gaza Strip, and even in Yemen. Ghaani simply does not have the personal influence and energy Soleimani had, while Soleimani’s killing has reduced Ghaani’s ability to move around and show his presence in the region.
Happy Ghasim Jan we hope you have now 72 virgin with you… I was one of them you raped me in Evin. God put you hell.

There is no need nor there a reason to keyboard the name of the Iranian warlord general who was exterminated by a US military drone strike.

The moment a missile ‘launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels’ slams into Yemen airport killing 26 minutes after the new government landed in capital
Explosion and gunfire heard at airport in the southern Yemeni city of Aden
At least 26 people were reported dead and dozens more wounded in the attack
Came as members of the country’s newly formed government disembarked from plane that had arrived from Saudi Arabia
Government of President Hadi and south separatists are fighting Houthi rebels. Bomb Bomb IRAN.
Iran is cancer of middle east sooner bombed hell sooner democratic people of Iran will see happiness back. We need Discos, Dancings, we are seek of tired of this regime , we have to do everything underground?
Walter Sieruk says
President Trump wisely ordered drone strike that took out the dangerous, murderous jihad warlord.
This is because the President understood that Soleimani was a very vicious and dangerous man. Therefore it was necessary that he was eliminated.
As Thomas Jefferson had written “With every barbarous people …force is law.”

US Aircraft Carrier to Stay In Middle East Over ‘Threats’ From Iran
Acting SecDef Miller reversed an earlier decision to bring USS Nimitz back to the US
Dave DeCamp Posted on January 3, 2021Categories NewsTags Iran
On Sunday night, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller announced that the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz will remain in the Middle East, citing “threats” from Iranian leaders. The announcement is a reversal from Miller’s earlier decision to bring the warship back to the US.
Miller’s earlier decision to bring the Nimitz out of the region was seen as a possible de-escalation from the US. The reversal is a sign that the US will continue to ratchet up tensions with Iran in the Trump administration’s final days. Also Iranian democratic of Iran burned posters of General Ghasim as well . I told you and predicted this and Iranian read this web sites. I ask again Navy , Army ,Air Force of Iran stand down let your country free. Take your generals in prison until we give them best lawyers and let them defend . We shall be televised the trials for all world.Also there was a threat in Florida vacation for PR Donald Trump from Iranian terrorist regime. He came back to white house 17 hours ago.
Freedom of Iranian people is very close.. Leave Tehran and 10 major cities that nuclear facilities are there.This is an order.

What’s next? Saudi Arabia elected to preside over the UNHRC?
We don’t have to use giant radio telescopes to listen for alien conversations we have them right here on Earth under our noses. Yes they were dropped on their head when they were small but beggars can’t be choosers, if you want aliens with incomprehensible thought processes there are plenty to study in the ME.
