This is a fight between hawks from the nest
If this was 1914 the assassination on foreign territory of Iran’s equivalent of the head of the CIA would be a Sarajevo moment. It may turn out to be as no self respecting capitalist state can take this lying down, certainly not a medium strong one like Iran. Rocks ahead, then.
This is a very dangerous situation which might produce a confrontation between the USA and Iran and others world powers.

Fights between crocodiles of the same swamp. The USA has just killed the man that conducted the military operation to defeat the US mercenaries and allied known as ISIS and Al Qaeda, which means that, the so called war against terrorism is the war for terrorism, similar to the war on drugs conducted in Colombia. As we correctly told to some US nationalists on this forum at the beginning of his presidency that he was going to be forced to defend the interest of the US capitalists around the world, and to continue the same wars started by prior presidents, and that bourgiose nationalism is also capitalist expansion, therefore, the so called anti-globalization is just an electoral rhetoric to obtains votes and supporters

“Ironically, before the most recent US attacks, tens of thousands of Iraqis were demonstrating against Iran’s presence in Iraq. In November, protestors even burned the Iranian consulate in Najaf, Iraq. Recent Trump administration actions, however, have swung Iraqi popular opinion against the US, and the anti-Iran demonstrations have stopped…The people of the US have no national interest in protecting oil company profits. Recent events have shown that people in the region don’t want to be dominated by any foreign power, whether the US or Iran.”
