Trump has eliminated Iran’s military strategist. He was responsible for killing many Americans. He was a singularly destructive actor in the region. He was considered the second most important man in Iran. He was behind Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah. Iran said they will not be following the restrictions laid out in the 2015 nuclear record. On Sunday they said, “Iran will continue its nuclear enrichment with no limitations and based on its technical needs.”

Many Americans are in fear of World War 3. It has been trending on Twitter with the hashtags #WW3 and #WorldWar3. They think Iran will strike back and will declare war with America. Iran hit back Wednesday. They fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles at two Iraqi airbases housing American forces. Iran Guards said it was in retaliation for the death of General Soleimani on Friday. Iraq and US officials say that there appear to be no casualties. Trump tweeted “all is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well-equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.”

Iran’s leader Ayatollah Khamenei has described the attack as a slap in the face to the US. He also warned that the attack will not end the dispute. He said a speech on Iranian state television saying “When it comes to confrontation, military action of this kind is not enough. What is important is that the corrupt presence of the United States should come to an end!”
