    The United States is pulling diplomats out of the American consulate in Basra, Iraq, in the wake of violent incidents near the facility that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has blamed on Iranhttps://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/28/us-diplomats-iraq-853269 …

        Such baseless and stupid claims. #Iran's own consulate was attacked by protesters in Basra, who are angry at social / economic issues (lack of water, jobs, etc.) - it has nothing to do with Iran. This is just another excuse for the #US and @SecPompeo who is itching for war.

        Many were talking about such things for many years. There are large numbers of militant supporters of the Iranian regime, and Iranian regime proxies throughout the world. They can go kinetic if the US goes to war. Chew on that for a while. Be careful of what you ask for.

        For goodness sake - It's the US that has been the provocateur in Basra. This move is purely political in wake of the increased rhetoric against Iran. Does the American public really want another war?

        The US consulate in #Basra I’m familiar with is a small mud abandon building that had been hit by a mortar round, 1982; anyway folks can take the dual lane highway of death (Iraq War) to Kuwait City which is a two hour drive.

        Mike Pompeo wants a war with Iran so of course the disgusting liar would blame them.
