Qatar has the largest US base Al Udeid in the middle East. Not Iraq. Iraqi air base does not operate Reaper drones.
Technically, we don't know if it was a drone. Iraqi PM says it was a helicopter.

We don't need to know anything. If IRGC knows, that is enough and they have good eyes and ears.Technically, we don't know if it was a drone. Iraqi PM says it was a helicopter.
now whole region is battleground including Pakistan and Turkey mark my word or as DG ISPR says in context of India 'Beginning of an End' ....
This is what I fear most... Iran, Turkiye and Pakistan are TheTargets... GanguTerroristEntity needs to go and MaqboozaHindustan needs to be liberated!
Pakistan should release an official statement and warn US. Pakistan does not need to side with anybody, but it is in Pakistans self interest to stand up against US, because Pakistan is next. US will NOT stop until it turns EVERY muslim countries into their lackeys. I say it again, US does not know how to fight when there is resistance and can absolutely not fight a multi front war. It is simply not their interest and not their tactics. Their tactic is to make their enemies weak before they attack.
US has only three Reaper bases in the middle East and Iraq-Syria are not among those. The Qatari connection is discussed in UK daily Times in details. The Times is a respectable newspaper.Looks like no one wants to do any research.
An MQ-9 reaper has a range of 1200 miles. From Doha to Baghdad is almost 1000 miles one way trip.
This is assuming the drone did not loiter at all while waiting for Solemani and arrived at exactly the right time.
I doubt the drone took off from Qatar. US could have launched from Iraq or Syria

The MQ-9 Reaper drone which killed Gen. Solaimani, was launched and operated from Al Udeid air base in Qatar. According to the PM of Iraq, he was also due to meet Gen. Solaimani on the same day to meditate a Saudi-Iran compromise that would reduce the tension between these two countries.
We saw that it was Qatar who allowed this high profile anti Iran attack to take place from it's territory and they are going to be paying a very high price for this action. Qatar has been acting way above it's weight lately by working as a destabilizing actor in the region and beyond. The Saudis will also welcome anything that punishes Qatar. For now, Al Udeid air base is going to take the burnt. What happens to Emir Tamim, leave it for the future. As for the US, the viable option is to use tactical nukes which will open the gates of hell.
Global Hawk is a serveillance drone which is not a strike drone.CIA has its own drones along with spec ops. And there drone locations are not posted. So you don’t know where the drone came from. And there is for sure a reaper drone base in Syria. I have no idea where you think Syrian drones are coming from!
Again using an MQ-9 doesn’t really make sense, Global Hawk would make much more sense.
Iran will attack the US base regardless whoever hosts it. Do they cry for Qatari cash as few other countries do ? No. They don't.Sorry but this is not something Iran is going to fall for!!! LOL! Because even if true and the UAV did takeoff from Qatar at the end of the day among all the countries in the Persian Gulf Qatar is simply the last country Iran would actually blame... Now it's quite clear that the Trump administration wants Iran to blame Qatar because Iran's relationship with Qatar is clearly upsetting to them so their decision to use Qatar as a launching pad is clearly intentional!
Now if Iran was to take that rout and attack a Persian Gulf country that country would be the UAE NOT Qatar!
This is what I fear most... Iran, Turkiye and Pakistan are TheTargets... GanguTerroristEntity needs to go and MaqboozaHindustan needs to be liberated!
We need you to lead the line...battle against the enemy......

Qatar already committed a great sin by hosting the largest US base in the region. They are doomed in everyways.
That is not correct. Many countries including Pakistan and Saudis do not allow US bases to strike in a third country. This is not a simple issue to ignore which Qataris will find out soon.
Attacking Qatar would also trigger a Turkish reaction. In addition, your assessment of the Saudi-Qatari relationship is wrong.
Qataris and other Gulfies may have huge problems among themselves but neither Saudis nor any other Gulf state would accept an attack on any GCC member state. Kuwait is still not forgotten.
Such a move would bring together Turkey, America and GCC and this would be a grave strategic mistake. In other words: by attacking Qatar, Iran would create a united Sunni bloc.
P.S.: The most likely target is Bahrain, not Qatar.
It was only allowed to launch attack on non state actors such ISIS/TTP etc. We never allowed attack on government positions of other countries.Didn't you allow US to operate from your airfields for attacking Afghanistan? Iraq?... in the past
This are all predictions. Only future can vindicate these predictions. Let us wait and see. No need to use words like MORON ! There is really nothing off the table of military strategists. I am not connected to IRGC in any way. If you are connected to them , let us know. Qatar has become a rogue state lately by promoting various disturbing elements. This tiny rogue state will certainly not remain the same as today.Iran will NOT attack Qatar because Iranian Military leaders are not MORONS! So nice try! But NO!
U.S. has Air bases in Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia all of which are closer and more suited for that operation and yet the Trump administration used the base in Qatar hoping that if Iran does respond they would attack Qatar and in doing so push Qatar into the arms of Saudi Arabia!!! So I can promise you right here and now that it ain't going to happen!!! SO KEEP DREAMING!!! Iran is NOT going to attack Qatar and again if Iran wanted to take the path of attacking a Persian Gulf state that state would 1st and foremost be the UAE!!!!!
