It was in fact a part of a plan to murder top officials to destabilise the Iranian leadership.

But the other part , or parts ,
failed.

* * *
On the day the US military killed a top Iranian commander in Baghdad, US forces carried out another top secret mission against a senior Iranian military official in Yemen, according to US officials.

The strike targeting Abdul Reza Shahlai, a financier and key commander of Iran's elite Quds Force who has been active in Yemen, did not result in his death, according to four US officials familiar with the matter.

US military operations in Yemen, where a civil war has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, are shrouded in secrecy.

US military operations in Yemen ?

* *
Officials at the Pentagon and in Florida were monitoring both strikes and had discussed announcing them together, had they gone well, officials said.

But they didn't go well ,
so they had to come up with a different story ?

* *

Another senior official said the two strikes were authorised around the same time and that
the United States did not disclose the Shahlai mission because it did not go according to plan.

* *
"This suggests a mission with a longer planning horizon
and a larger objective,
and it really does call into question why there was an attempt to explain this publicly on the basis of an imminent threat," said Suzanne Maloney, an Iran scholar at the Brookings Institution.

These revelations , along with other information certainly dose call into question everything we're told about all of these types of things in that region.

It seems , as usual , were still just feed bullshit ,
concocted to fit the situation.
Varying , depending on the success or failures involved.

Nothing to do with the actual truth.

This is nothing new of course , but in this day and age of instant information , media , and news swapping etc
it is exceedingly risky ,
and this time ,
has gone horribly wrong ,
leading to events that have resulted in the homicide of 176
innocents ,
meaning it ain't going away so easily.

Some poor dumb frightened Iranian soldiers , stuck in a air defence bunker fucked up ,
why were they so scared ?
Oh
American threats.
Why.
Oh just because America threatens , and murders our leaders ,
nothing new .


Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

And men still keep on marching off to war
La de da de de, la de da de da

 

Hmm who fucked up Yemen in the first place? I can't remember....

Did this really need to be a new thread?

 

Indeed , who did fuck up in the first place ?

How can we know.
Who's going to tell us the truth.

Why did Saudi Arabia suddenly go to war with Yemen ?
Was/is it a n fact a proxy war for the US ?

If not , why is American military involved in Yemen ?

 

I think Islam fucked up Yemen, as well as the rest of the middle east and anywhere else touched by its backwards philosophy.

 

Man you are one judgemental fuck!

 

Yemen was fucked up by Mikimoto Kokichi, the man who perfected to process of creating cultured pearls in 1893. This destroyed the economic basis of Yemen, which had been a source of natural pearls for thousands of years.

 

So no-one wants to address the elephant in the room.

All off on a tangent about the "old" history of Yemen.

Nothing about recent developments ,
recent interferences ,
what's been happening in the last decade.
One of the world's greatest humanitarian crisis.
Nothing about the escalation in threats actions and tensions etc , which have lead to this latest tragedy.

The lies and deceptions .

I wonder what would happen if say Syria murdered a US vice president , secretary of state or similar , at an Egyptian airport.

Remember , the US did actually plot against the Syrian leader , and support Syrian terrorists.
So by recent actions , he could easily trump up a reason to murder any of them.

 

More media speculation...passing it off as fact based?

International terrorists representing a Nation that has the intent mission of destabilize Western morals.

Stop looking at this as anything other than what it is..'A WAR ON TERRORISM''

 

But it's not a complete war on terrorism, just a few selected countries.

Why does the Saudis and the UAE get a free pass?.

Why is Nth Korea donnie's love child?.

 

None the less, it's still a war on terrorism

So far the intelligence suggests that it is what it is.

To keep communications and the dialogue continuing...something the past Administration chose to ignore.

 

We are able to kill foreign leaders because our leaders feel immune to repercussions.

 

The British, dumbass.

Their government had shadow wars in Yemen and Oman after both got their supposed independence after years of being plundered for oil and oppressed.

Anybody not wanting to admit it doesn't make it any less true.

 

No, it wasn't.

You may think this shit is funny but people have been dying there for decades thanks largely to British interference and then the US being stupid enough to try to clean up yet another one of their messes in the Middle East.

Kindly shut the fuck up.

 

I wasn't aware the '80s was ancient history. Funny how that isn't the case whenever you bring up the US.

The fact is nobody fucked up these countries like the British. Even a few British journalists have the stones to admit it but not you empire apologists.

You have the nerve to constantly chastise the US for things that don't even come close to what the British did in any of these places.

 

Hmp...the military uniform has you confused?

 

The British ruled the world for several centuries., long before the U.S. was ever established.

 

No, they didn't.

They had colonies in a handful of places before the 19th Century. Their "empire" was largely when the US was fully established as a country.

Learn history.

 

Probably the same reason the British gave them a pass before us.

Our country has been unfortunately following their playbook for decades and getting sole blame for it.

 

Britain ruled for over 3 centuries and North America was in their rule....then the the U.S. was established ...

That is history.

 

No, they didn't. Their colonies in Africa and the Middle East were largely either established in the 19th Century or taken over from the Ottomans.

They "ruled" in part of the Americas and Ireland up until then.
