BEIRUT (Reuters) - Iran’s Quds force chief Qassem Soleimani warned U.S. President Donald Trump against war on Thursday, saying it would “destroy all that you possess”, the website of Iran’s Arabic language Al Alam TV reported.

“You know that this war will destroy all that you possess. You will start this war but we will be the ones to impose its end. Therefore you have to be careful about insulting the Iranian people and the president of our Republic,” Soleimani said in a speech, as reported by Al Alam in Arabic.

“You know our power in the region and our capabilities in asymmetric war. We will act and we will work,” he said.

their pants. Can you imagine living in a tRUMP property? The stress must be incredible wondering what Iran meant by these statements. VOTE or we keep what we have and will get 10x worse!

Right now, could be pretty easy to win. Target all trump "properties" around the world, and JUST all the trump properties.

He would be a blubbering mess in 30 minutes and surrender without hesitation.

warmongering headlines and feeding it to Trump for digestion and more warmongering.

Remember The Dixie Chicks.

that before a USO show they entertained themselves chanting some gibberish about "killing Congs" until they got tired.

It was a joint event with local Navy boot camp guys, and they all yammered away together about their intention to smoosh them all, getting very loud and rowdy.

I just heard in the last week little Jeff Sessions joined a bunch of Republican sociopaths chanting "lock her up." It's so stupid it's almost hard to believe until one remembers how deteriorated, degenerated Republicans are.
