I see. So, you lied. The large groups that came out in the streets for Soleimani weren't forced. Instead you played bait and switch. Fuckin' wingnuts.
LIke you know jack shit about what happened in Iran,
I didn't so much as claim I know what happened as ask for some decent evidence that millions were forced out of their homes to attend a funeral. Again, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened in some circumstances, but I don't see any proof that those large crowds were all forced.
It's kind of weird but when you attack a country or threaten their own culture they tend to not take too kindly to that. It often times nationalizes those you threaten against you. You'd think the extreme nationalists on this site would understand that.
Yeah, they attacked our country by attacking our embassy, but you are too blinded by hate to realize that.
When did that happen?
More facts about the Embassy Attack:
Background and lead-up:
On 27 December 2019, an Iraqi airbase in
Kirkuk province was attacked by more than 30 rockets,
killing an American civilian contractor and injuring four U.S. service members and two
Iraqi security forces personnel. The U.S. blamed the Iranian-backed Kata'ib Hezbollah militia, a subgroup of Iraq's
Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), for the attack.
[18][19]
On 29 December 2019,
retaliatory U.S. airstrikes targeted five Kata'ib Hezbollah —and therefore PMF— weapon storage facilities and command and control locations in Iraq and Syria.
[20][21] 25 militia members died
[22] and 55 were wounded.
[20] U.S. officials said the strikes were a direct response to the killing of the American contractor on 27 December.
[23]
Then came the retaliatory attack on the U.S. Embassy by the Iranian-backed Kata'ib Hezbollah and PMF militiamen (with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis present), followed by the U.S. drone strike in Iraq that killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qassem Soleimani, who were traveling in the same car.
Anyone who isn't aware of the chain of events here simply isn't getting enough information and needs to expand their sources of info. I find it disingenuous that some of these people are weighing in with opinions on this without knowing the facts, and seem not to want to know (I'm not directing this comment to you HappyJoy -- I'm assuming you were inquiring in a good faith desire to know these facts)
