All this is similar to the conflict with Japan and the states all those years ago..............What puzzles me is why Iraq is so upset about it................... I'm being told though that Iran is gradually taking Iraq over.....is this right?.........
 
Reading this morning that the Iranians have put an $80 million bounty on Trump.
I've done a bit of checking on that Badge. How official the bounty isn't clear. There are lots of threats from both sides as can be expected with Trump saying he'd flatten cultural sites. That smacks of ISIS destruction levels.

Is there really a US$80 million bounty on the US president's head?
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned there would be "harsh retaliation" for the airstrike US President Donald Trump ordered on the head of the country's elite Quds Force.
At one of Soleimani's funerals in Mashhad, an unnamed eulogist appeared to call on the Iranian people to aid that retaliation by donating money. In a video shared to Twitter, one of the funeral organisers could be heard encouraging the 80 million-strong population to put aside US$1 each. The translated video explained the US$80m raised would be given to the person who brought the head of the person responsible for ordering the attack.

An $80million bounty has been placed on Donald Trump's head in Iran in the wake of General Qasem Soleimani's assassination.
During the televised funeral, official state broadcasters said one US dollar would be tabled for every Iranian in the country, with the cash going to whoever killed the US President.
“Iran has 80 million inhabitants. Based on the Iranian population, we want to raise $80million (£61million) which is a reward for those who get close to the head of President Trump,” it was announced, according to en24.

Americans do like to shoot a President, and it's been a while since someone took a shot at Big Ron, so they're probably overdue.

I certainly hope that doesn't happen......all this smacks of World War One........That started with an assassination.............

And Russia mobilising to support her ally Serbia. Substitute Serbia for Iran, and the USA for Germany, and there are similarities, sure.

Hopefully we've all learned something in 100 years though?
