There was a huge car bomb exploded a few days ago in Baghdad that killed dozens.

No doubt, Hezbollah will be looking for American targets for revenge.

Many think it may be in the form of cyber attacks?

But, Iran's terrorists arms reach all over that part of the world.

American Embassies in North Africa and other more isolated places could be at risk?

Also, as we learned in 1979, Iranians like to take hostages.

The most visible targets might be the oil tankers that go thru the Straight of Hormuz. They could severely affect the price of oil in the world market?

Or they may not be happy unless American lives are exchanged for Soleimani?

1. and, don't forget

Trump properties in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, South America...

2. And Istanbul.

And New York City.

3. I don't think they will be content until they have killed many Americans or at least 1 important one

This is totally drumpf's war of choice, it was not in response to the raid in Iraq - that is just his fascist lie. Other countries say it's proved that Iran wasn't involved, but drumpf never let facts or truth stop him and he sure didn't this time. He wants a war so he can call Dems unpatriotic. Guess everything should just be dismissed - well, that's what his idiot supporters will claim anyway.

I just wonder why PUtin picked this guy, you know it wasn't drumpf - he's not smart enough or briefed enough because he truly doesn't care about anything but helping himself and PUtin or Erdrogan because they are threatening him or bribing him. Wonder if this guy was trying to push Iran away from Russia, there's got to be some reason PUtin ok'ed or ordered this.

9. this is the really funny part about trump. no one knows

if he is being blackmailed because we know nothing about him. we don't even know his actually physical condition.

4. Cyber warfare could do the most

damage with the fewest resources. Imagine if they could srike within the heart of the US. Whatever they do will be on their time table not ours.

Somebody on MSNBC last night indicated that guerilla style tactics could prove effective to the Iranians.

Have any of our "allies" made any public comments. The longer they remain silent the more it does not bode well for it the US.

5. There have been several car bombs and lots of other violence in Iraq

for most of 2019 but who cared as long as Iraqis were killing Iraqis.
There have also been other violent protests against the useless puppet government in Iraq.

6. "Iranians Like to Take Hostages"

One incident is, what we call in the data analysis biz, a "statistically insignificant sample".

[kentuck]

7. Some might argue it was more than an "incident"...

It was a part of their history.

[brooklynite]

8. ...which was never repeated (Iran has plenty of other enemies they could have taken hostages from)
