raqis are celebrating the death of Iran's elite Quds Force chief, General Qassem Soleimani, by "dancing in the street", said US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo while sharing a video of people holding a rally.
In the 22-second video which Pompeo shared on Twitter, people are seen running on a road carrying a several meter-long Iraq national flag. The video is of some unspecified location in Iraq.
This comes hours after the United States confirmed that Soleimani has been killed in a defence strike near Baghdad International Airport.
"Iraqis -- Iraqis -- dancing in the street for freedom; thankful that General Soleimani is no more," Pompeo tweeted.

Besides Soleimani, Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and five others were also killed in the US airstrike at Baghdad's international airport, reported Iraqi officials and state television.
The attack has come days after an Iran-backed militia and other protesters attacked the United States Embassy in Baghdad.
The attack on the embassy came as a retaliation to a US airstrike that killed at least 25 people of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

Hello, FiddlePig-!
Excellent idea! I think if they were smart they wouldn’t have been such nasty folks they’d still have the original 150 billion from Obama.
The tariff, from what I’ve read ate away that 150 billion; another example of Pres Trump undoing what Obama did during his Reign Of The Enlighted Islamist.
Use this post pix as a response to media BS
Iran works through proxies (like Hezballah)
Iranian proxies brought advanced IEDs into Afghanistan and Iraq that were used against US troops....killing and maiming tens of thousands.
Suleimani was the organizer/trainer of the proxy groups.
Trump just told Iran - the US will hold YOU accountable for what the proxies do.
LOLOL!
He got zotted, MrEdd. Spot on!
As long as you are there.
Thank you God for answering Iranian prayers for justice.
LOL
Must be on target.

I love the way these goat humpers dance. They can bust some moves
Damn thing must be tuned to Toyota mode
Well, it looks like we may very well have go our intelligence back. A surgical strike where this general was known to be located. We haven’t see such precise intelligence since Reagan knocked out a bunker in Libya and scared the hell out of Gaddafi.
This is really good stuff.
God bless Trump who will not be bamboozled like his sad post-Reagan predecessors. All the lights are on under trump’s watch.
The Left will turn the lights out whenever they can.
Trump’s 2020 landslide is quickly on its way and there’s NOTHING the Left can do about it except unwittingly create a greater 2020 Trump landslide.
You nailed that one.....BZZZZZZZT
Bunch of goat humping 7th century 3rd world country inhabitants
Undoubtedly the Isrealis
The Sunnis in Iraq are celebrating. The Shiites, maybe not so much.
A lot of the current conflict in the middle east is due to conflicts between different Muslim sects and ethnicities (Sunni vs Shiite, Arab/Turk vs Kurds, etc)
