The killing of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard top commander has sparked furious reactions from the Iranians with the president promising retaliation to the attack, bringing forth worries of a possible fight between the two world giants.
The White House confirmed the attack on Friday, in which Maj. General Qassim Suleimani died. The attack was carried at the Baghdad International Airport.
President Trump was unapologetic after the attack, tweeting the American flag without any caption of it.

The attack has not only posed a great threat to America but also its close associates and especially Israel which for long has been one of America’s Interests.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani termed the attack by the US as cowardly and they will be planning an attack to revenge in the near future.
Donald Trump received criticism and praise in equal measure following the attack, his critics mentioning he has put the future of the nation and the surrounding regions at stake, while those in his support likening the attack to that of Al Qaeda’s Osama Bin Laden in 2011, which had no negative impact to the country when President Obama was the one at the helm.
The killing of Suleiman had an impact shortly after the announcement was made. Asia stock markets were reported to have significantly gone down, hiking of oil prices, the death toll in Baghdad reaching 12 people so far, Israel convening a security meeting to brace for a possible mighty war, Iranian government declaring three days of national mourning, and notably Russia terming the killing as an “assassination”, not explaining the interest it may take in the whole debacle.
