PMU factions called to ready themselves for battle

[OCguy]

Not at all, I am only considering the possible outcomes if this becomes a full-fledged shooting war between the US and Iran. The Russian FM has just sided with Iran. The American view of seeing QS as a terrorist/murderer is one view and they have taken action. For many others, they simply see this a powerful man being killed by a hasty decision. Iran's reputation is at stake and just as in Syria, where different powers came in to take a slice, the very same way powers will come in to further their own agendas.

The statement by the Russian FM was a pat on the head. Meaningless.

those hoping that the proxies in Iraq will save Iran will be disapointed, I suppose you have no idea what was happening in Iraq the past two months or so, for the vast majority of Iraq's Shia population...the government which is formed mainly from pro Iran groups are considered the number one enemy of the Iraqi people, I myself even though I'm probably one of the most pro Iran people in Iraq, have been demanding & hoping that the US would anihilate the government & all the militias that support it, ofcourse I don't speak on behalf of all Iraqis, I'm sure there are millions of Iraqis who still support Iran, but the point is.. the anti-Americanism & popular support for the militias after 2003 has now been replaced by deep popular hatred for the establishment in Baghdad.

I do not wish for anything bad to happen to Iran, I always supported (& still support) Iran, however if Iran wants to survive... they need to have nukes as soon as possible.

Time will tell. War is nasty business. It starts with reasons but never end with desired outcomes. One thing is true though, if Iran can put up a fight, the US can have a quite a bit to lose considering the new multi-polar world that is emerging.

I don't see the Iraqi state role in all this proxy war happening on its soil. I guess Iraqi state is in limbo as it is influenced by on both USA and Iran equally.

I also think Iraq doesnt want to be dragged into a messy proxy war in their own land. Only fool want to do that. Better focus on economy and improve good governance. There is also a political turmoil happening lately. Iraqis soldier and military also still need to be build so that Iraqis doesnt need to bring Iranian backed Militia anymore to stabilize and protect their country like they did to fight ISIS.

we have our own problems in Iran with government, but this issue is different and should unite the region to kick out these terrorists once and for all.

indeed

One may ask , what was his purpose of visit to Iraq ?

What is the purpose of those proxies that Iran is trying to build in Syria ?

He came to promote more terrorists activities or coordinate more attacks by his proxies ,than Iran can pretend once again they had nothing to do with it. About time someone put a stop to that.

US freed Iraq from Baghdadi and now freed Iraq and the region from the menacing behavior of this person , whose presence in Iraq only spelled doom for Iraqis.
