webfact Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Iran Supreme Leader says Americans will be expelled from Iraq and Syria FILE PHOTO: Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivers a televised speech on the occasion of the Iranian New Year Nowruz, in Tehran, Iran March 20, 2020. Official Khamenei website/Handout via REUTERS (Reuters) - Americans will be expelled from Iraq and Syria, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday, renewing Iran's demand for U.S. troops to be withdrawn from the Middle East. Iran almost got into a full-blown conflict with the United States when a U.S. drone strike killed top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Jan. 3, prompting Tehran to retaliate with a missile barrage against a U.S. base in Iraq days later. Khamenei said Americans' actions in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria had led to them being hated, according to a transcript of a speech to students published on his website. "The Americans won't stay in Iraq and Syria and will be expelled," Khamenei said. Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump said he had instructed the U.S. Navy to fire on any Iranian ships that harass it at sea, but said later he was not changing the military’s rules of engagement. After Trump's statement, the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Major General Hossein Salami, said that the Islamic Republic would destroy U.S. warships if its security is threatened in the Gulf.

Over it's more than 240 year history, the US has only been at peace for 16 years. That makes it the most warlike nation in the history of the world. So the number of other languages the US has been "Protecting" us from speaking is almost without limit. Doubtless though they were all terrorists, I mean the US would never attack another country, or attempt to subvert another nation's government for financial reasons, or to extend their imperial realm of power, now would they. And they could never be accused of wanting to take control of another country's oil? .....Surely not. ???? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to be suffering from an overabundance of clairvoyants on this thread today. "In a completely disinterested act of total selfless generosity, the US saves the world, single handedly mind, from the evil baddies, who would otherwise have had us all as slaves." Everybody bow down with gratitude, and worship the glorious US empire. With a magnificent imagination like that who needs reality - a job at Fox News awaits you sir. And the nutty Ayatoldya, who has the nerve to refer to the US as "The Great Satan" should be thanking them instead that he is still speaking Farsi!

You do understand that practically everything on the internet, the computers, the web, the chips, the software was either invented or developed in America right? Without America you would be a serf of whatever dictatorship managed to take over your country and turn your people into slaves. I recommend you boycott American technology ASAP.
