update2: It's official — unbelievable as it is — Iraqi state TV moments ago announced the death of Iran's most senior elite military commander, IRGC Quds Force chief Qasem Suleimani:

ALSO KILLED HEAD OF KATAIB HEZBOLLAH ABU MEHDI MUHANDIS https://t.co/K0cJn9rMIc
This is the spark that could set the whole region on fire, given Suleimani is Iran's most important, visible and powerful military leader.

Journalists are circulating graphic photos of the blast aftermath, seeking on the ground confirmation of Suleimani's identity:
Is it the same ring or similar? Asking for expert opinion #Iraq , this is Qassim Sulaimani the Iranian leader of Quds force #Baghdad pic.twitter.com/Xe4viCWKXY— Steven nabil (@thestevennabil) January 3, 2020
It appears Iranian officials have begun circulating condolences, acknowledging his death.
At the beginning of the last decade, when Gen. Suleimani began becoming a more visible and powerful face of influence in Iran and across the Middle East, one former CIA officer cited in a New Yorker biographical piece on him referred to the IRGC commander as the “most powerful operative in the Middle East today.”
As leader of the Revolutionary Guards' most elite Quds force, he directed all unconventional warfare and intelligence activities abroad. For that reason Washington and Tel Aviv had long considered him threat #1 within the Iranian military command structure.

With war in the Middle East now virtually inevitable, here is the latest US naval deployment as of Jan 2:
update: It appears the 'mystery' strike which took out vehicles along the perimeter of Baghdad International Airport in the early morning hours of Friday was actually a US targeted assassination.

If that’s accurate, the #Trump admin just ratcheted up the ante in #Iraq in a big way. pic.twitter.com/p784XmVVq7

BUT I WILL SAY THIS MUCH
MR. TRUMP JUST MADE A VERY VERY BAD MISTAKE.
BY KILLING THAT IRAN GENERAL.
BAD BAD MOVE.
IRAN HAS ATLEAST 10 - 20 NUKES AND EVERY ONE KNOWS IT.
WILL THE END NOW COME ?? COULD BE.
STEPHEN
All right Scott!!!! Seeing Stephen's comment put a big smile on my face! Thanks Scott...it really made my day! Gary
Everything is falling into place as God hath said in His word. Ps JD Faraq said Trump will accelerate end times prophecy. Russia, Turkey and maybe China will join in the fun drive away USA from Middle East leaving Israel alone. Remember Gog Magog war as those Jewish rabbis said.
Yes Stephen, Iran probably does already have nukes. Who are they going to use them on? Not Israel, we know that from Scripture :) As for President Trump's actions, there is the key, "actions". No other recent President had the GUTS to fight back against PURE EVIL!God Bless him! This wasnt just an attack against the evil mullahs, this was defending our Embassy (which is the United States), and PREVENTING what ever evil plans these demons had in the works that we are not privy to yet. Could this lead to the Isaiah 17 war? Possibly, but Gods Timing, is not our timing & we know that it is very,very close to the Rapture :)
The Isaiah 17 war is next...quickly followed by Ezekiel 38-39, which is an invasion of Israel, not a war...look up! :)
Yup - totally agree Mrs C - that will be the order of events....Also FWIW - I could see Iran launching their "Proxy war" (Isa 17) first and perhaps imminently
Yes Bros Scott, It will be first, & when it happens, it will be devastating & happen rapidly. Who ever, or how ever, it starts, we know this, that it will be a multi-fronted war, and Israel will have to fight it alone. :( All part of Gods Plan for them. It will involve the West Bank, Jordan,too. Then the nations surrounding Israel. What we do know, is that Iran will have been damaged greatly, they will be weak as they are reduced to being followers of Gog, and seek Gog for their protection as others will too. By the time the Isaiah 17 war is done, we His Church
will be outta here! :)
