Iran just picked Iraq's next Prime Minister. Bassem Al-Badri is now the Coordination Framework's unified candidate after Nour Al-Maliki stepped aside and endorsed him.
That alone would be notable. But the detail that matters: Esmail Qaani flew to Baghdad and personally backed Al-Badri during the visit.
Tehran doesn't make that kind of trip for nothing.
Iraq's Shia factions are notoriously fractured. Getting them to consolidate behind a single candidate requires either a very long negotiation or a very clear signal from the top.
This looks like the latter.
Al-Maliki doesn't withdraw quietly unless he's been told to. His endorsement of Al-Badri reads less like political generosity and more like instructions received.
The Iraqi parliament will go through the motions. But the real conversation already happened in a room with Qaani.

Iran is about Obama/Clinton.
The oil, global reset, leverage over NATO/China, etc., those were just added bonuses.
This entire military operation in Iran, has been about destroying Iran’s nuclear program, AND proving that the Obama administration is responsible for it.
That’s why Trump repeatedly says the “nuclear dust” is the number one most important thing in negotiations. He doesn’t just want Iran to sign a deal not to make nukes. He wants the Uranium from Fordow, so the US MIL can use nuclear forensics to confirm the origins of all the uranium. US MIL Intelligence knows exactly where it came from, they are just there to confirm what they already know.
Trump is in Iran to gather incontrovertible evidence. Isotopic signatures. Nuclear fingerprints.
This is why all propaganda assets have been deployed, why both the Left and woke-Right squeal so loudly about Iran, and why there is so much disinformation online about the situation in Iran.
Trump is about to secure the smoking gun that will take down the Obama administration, hence why the traitors are in such a panic.
It’s happening, and they know they can’t do anything to stop it.
He is smoking Crack again...
Wouldn't you be tempted, if I promised you, you could wipe out corruption in D.C by wearing a suicide vest....The Iranians don't threaten Americans, just our corrupt leaders.

Trump doesn't care about the Clintons. He had his chance to prosecute them and didn't. Did you forget the part where he said the Clintons are basically good people and he wasn't going to prosecute them?
The uranium from the Uranium 1 deal went to Russia. From Russia who knows where it went. Russia is a major player when it comes to making fuel for nuclear reactors. I forget the exact number but they provide a great deal of it to the entire world including the US. Did Russia provide fuel to Iran as well? I'd be surprised if they didn't.
As for Obama or any other democrat, good luck getting a conviction in DC for any of them.
Remember when everyone told me to be patient that these things take time. Well now Blondie is gone and she did exactly nothing the entire time she was there except plays blocker for the Epstein stuff. She was great at protecting the pedophilic class which I suspect was the one job she really had.

No I would not.
Are you in favor of societal breakdown in the USA? Hyper inflation, Food shortages, mass hysteria, skyrocketing crime, marshal law to name a few byproducts.
The USA would be extremely vulnerable to foreign countries wanting to harm or influence the USA.
still no down arrow…

Looks like we are well on our way there now. Millions of illegals and 100's of thousands of "refugees" being flown into the US on top of the ghetto class we already have. The US spends a trillion a year to keep society from breaking down by these clowns. It's not sustainable.
The media barely report on it but tons of video out there from spring break from Houston and Daytona where the ghetto class just took over.
