I'm not surprised -- especially after reading what a top dog in Iran is reported to have stated.

Iran Vows to Raze Israel In Case of US Response to Gen. Soleimani's Vengeance


TEHRAN (FNA)- A top Iranian official and former top commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps issued a late midnight warning to President Donald Trump, promising that Tehran will bring Tel Aviv and Haifa to ashes if US dares to reciprocate Iran's reprisal attack in vengeance for the assassination of IRGC's anti-terrorism Commander General Qassem Soleimani.

"If the US takes any action after our military response, we will level Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground," Secretary of Iran's Expediency Council Mohsen Rezayee said minutes into Monday.

Few hours earlier, Iran's missile batteries were sighted on the move to the country's Western borders, starting speculations that Tehran's military action to revenge the US terror attack on IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani might be in the offing.

Mohsen Rezayee had warned earlier in the week that Israel is likely to have had a role in collecting intel on the flight of the martyred General from Syria to Iraq.

Rezayee's meaningful remarks came after US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Iran that if it retaliates for the assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, it will face US attacks on 52 targets, a number he said was symbolic.

"Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.........targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD," he said. "The USA wants no more threats!"

In response, Iranian Army Commander Major General Seyed Abdolrahim Mousavi said that Trump does not have the courage to attack Iran.
“The US will not dare to take any actions against our country,” the Iranian Army commander said.

Turning to the unprecedented and unparalleled measures taken by Lieutenant General Soleimani in the Resistance Front, he said, “Martyr General Soleimani took giant steps in the fight against terrorism in all regional countries, specially Lebanon, Syria, Iraq.”

Lieutenant General Soleimani was martyred in a targeted assassination attack by the US drones at Baghdad International Airport early on Friday morning.

General Qassem Soleimani has been martyred by the US aircraft after lifetime efforts, the IRGC said in a statement early Friday morning.
The airstrike also martyred Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), or Hashad al-Shaabi. The PMF media arm said the two were martyred in an American airstrike that targeted their vehicle on the road to the airport.
Five Iranian and five Iraqi militaries were martyred by missiles fired by the US drone at Baghdad International Airport.

The Pentagon confirmed the attack in a statement.

The attack came amid tensions that started by the US attack on PMF units that killed 28 Iraqi popular forces. A day later, Iraqi people attacked the US embassy in Baghdad. On Wednesday President Donald Trump ordered about 750 US soldiers deployed to the Middle East.
US officials earlier suggested they were to engage in further retaliatory attacks in Iraq.

The developments also represent a major downturn in Iraq-US relations that could further undermine US influence in the region and American troops in Iraq and weaken Washington’s hand in its pressure campaign against Iran.

US President Donald Trump was vacationing on his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, but sent out a tweet of an American flag.

The attack represents a dramatic escalation by the US toward Iran after months of tensions. The tensions take root in Trump’s decision in May 2018 to withdraw the US from Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers, struck under his predecessor.

Anyone in the Middle East who isn't a Shia Muslim should be nervous at this point.  Iran's been itching for a war with Israel and Saudi Arabia for quite some time.

Sounds like they're backing down.  Reports are that Iran deliberately missed hitting U.S. troops in last night's attacks ... to avoid a U.S. response.  That way they could save face with the people that they struck back at the U.S. without going to war.  Iranians seem smarter than Trump that way.
