Well they will if they don't completely destroy Iran's establishment, Iran's power is not in Iran either, it's not a simple conflict, as it's the same conflict that's been raging for several decades and the US hasn't won anything in that time other than body bags.

Well yes!
Watched a BBC programme about the Iranian General it was a repeat from last year im surprised the Americans waited so long to take him out he was the mastermind of a lot of trouble in the region.
Not trusting anything like that frankly, misinformation is so abundant nowadays.
Why a funeral? The behaviour of massive and mobile crowds isn't dependent on the cause of the social occasion. There have been examples of crowd crushes involving Westerners that weren't sparked by a real or perceived threat to life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_stampedes_and_crushes
And I missed the sarcasm as the same view was expressed by people who weren't being sarcastic on previous pages. There are people on these forums who think the Hillsborough victims were responsible for their own deaths just because they were in the crowd that killed them.
This is the chap. His feed is worth following.

Unfortunate turn of events. Hopefully it will deescalate soon. Flattening half of Iran won't solve anything, just create a fresh wave of radicals.
Nope not trusting it either - US news outlets are claiming no US casualties, all US personnel in bunkers.

No doubt, he was obviously a very shrewd operator..
Thanks
If Iran does end up killing Iraqis, i wonder what that does to the power dynamic between Iraq and Iran.
Nothing as they control Iraq for now and Iraq is majority Shia. The West (and Iran) have more or less eviscerated any Sunni resistance from 2003 until ISIS. Though I don't currently know how much of the Iraqi military is under Iran's control, I suspect Iran's influence there to be significant.
Not really???? As if the US isn't going to respond to this.
Hopefully. Much depends on the battle damage assessments (still pending) and whatever their conclusion, how the US chooses to respond.

Hard to say at the moment but looks like the damage has mostly been inflicted on the Iraqis rather than US intentionally or unintentionally which is less of a trigger point than if US forces had been killed.
Doesn't really matter - Trump stated he'd launch attacks against 52 targets if they attacked.... they've attacked. Can't see him suddenly coming out and being like: "actually only some Iraqis died this time so it's all cool guys, we'll leave them alone now".
I think he's going to do what he said he would do...
Why mention Hillsborough?
You literally linked to human stampedes and the ones that are the most significant are the no one remembers or even cares about. 1400+ people on Pilgrimage in mecca and twice after more at Jamarat Bridge.
50+ people died at someones funeral western/eastern who gives a flying **** because that's some ******** right there.
The real **** is that people using tragedies near them to try and make a point that doesn't exist because they really don't care about anyone else.
