New Year is the start of new beginnings for many. We are just at the start of a new decade and have hardly seen anything this year. Yet, today morning many woke up with World War 3, Trump and Iran trending simultaneously on Twitter.
Here is how things took place. The US compound in Baghdad was attacked by around 6000 demonstrators who were angry about the deaths of militia members in US airstrikes. Followed by a threat to Iran from US President Donald Trump saying that Iran will pay a very big price for the attack on the US embassy. And then the airstrike that has apparently killed top Iranian General Qassim Suleimani in Baghdad.
The Pentagon in a statement cleared that the Airstrike is done after the order by President Trump:
“General Suleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region. General Suleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more. This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans. The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world.”
Later, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed “severe revenge” after the United States killed General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force.
And later with Twitter, you can only expect jokes and memes and it exactly goes the same way with jokes and memes related to World War 3.
