Extinct volcanoes are coming back to life
​1-2-20, Watchers.news* --  An extinct volcano by definition is a dead volcano, which has not erupted in 1000s of years. It's now obvious that volcanoes are erupting at a faster pace, not only around the ring of fire, but also around the entire globe. Even dormant & extinct volcanoes are becoming active again. An extinct volcano by definition is a dead volcano, which has not erupted in 1000s of years and is not expected to erupt ever again. In other words there's no magmatic, seismic or degassing activity going on. Following are five extincts that are suspicious:

1. The Bolshaya Udina volcano is located in eastern Russia may be active again and scientists are worried that it could have "catastrophic" consequences1
2. The Oraefajokull volcano in Iceland has been dormant since its last eruption in 1727-1728 may be waking up2
3.  Sotarà volcano in Columbia has eruption warning levels and would be first in recorded history3 
4. Cerro Negro volcano, and Volcán Chiles volcanic complex  are located along the border of Columbia and Ecuador are are  experiencing unrest.4 
5. California's dormant volcano shows earthquake actovotu on the West Coast — Mammoth Mountain California5 
6. More importantly, unrest is growing right now among some of the world's Super-volcanoes like Laguna del Maule in Chile and Italy's Campi Flerei -- under the city of Naples. Since 2005, Campi Flegrei has been undergoing what volcanologists call an uplift. Campi Flegrei showing signs of reawakening, Italy6
   
7. Toba in Indonesia is showing signs of a possible eruption. People in a state of panic as the ground beneath their homes is becoming hot and emitting steam that smells like sulfur and gas."8
   
8. The Seulawah Agam volcano Sumatran seems to be waking up after 170 years of quiet. 
   
9. Indonesian volcano: Seulawah Agam and Sinabung9 that had been dormant for about 400 years.

Pakistan's 'Earthquake Island' Has Vanished 
7-11-19, LiveScience -- According to NASA  a mud island that burst from the waters off the coast of Pakistan during the deadly 2013  magnitude 7.7 earthquake and volcano has now disappeared into the sea after another earthquake. The 6-year-old island was the product of a "mud volcano," with boulders and rocks on the surface of the 65 feet high, 295 feet wide and 130 feet long island named Zalzala Koh (which means "Earthquake mountain" in Urdu). Now, satellite images show, it's pretty much gone. Officials report that "Islands produced by mud volcanoes in this region have a history of coming and going."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Felt ‘Totally Unwelcome’ in the Royal Family—So They Quit
A source tells The Daily Beast that Harry and Meghan were made to feel “totally unwelcome” in the royal family.

Prince Harry and His Progressive American Wife Meghan May Move to Canada
1-8-20, Yahoo -- Source from England's royal family said of Harry & Meghan:
"There is a very careful and serious process to go through which they are going to respect. It is clear they are on a different and unique path ... That could include being based in Canada or the possibility of walking away from their titles [Since May 2018: Duke and Duchess of Sussex], although hopefully it will not come to that. It's been a very tough year — they're newlyweds and they have a young baby — so they're looking at what their life looks like in the future. Everything is on the table."

1-9-10, * -- The recent big drama in Iraq is a game changing event. On Jan 2, 2020 the USA Military eradicated the no.1 master mind of terror in the Middle East and the bitterest enemy of Israel since its RE-birth in 1948 – Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani.
 
Since Soleimani’s death the Iranians have retaliated with a face saving rocket attack on Iraq – killing no one. [Except a commercial Ukraine Airliner with 180 passengers. (1)] Apparently this current round of violence has ended, but a new round of President Trump’s sanctions targeting Iran’s non-oil industries and ruling elites while the U.S. will ratchet up enforcement of existing sanctions. (2) [Sadly dozens of Iranian citizens were killed during a stampede at the burial procession of Soleimani (3).]
 
The Iranian & US fake news media attempted to deceive the world by reporting that there were 80 U.S. casualties in the Iran rocket attack. An hour later, both the U.S. president and the Iranian foreign minister tweeted that there were no American casualties and no additional hostilities planned. In reality, the Iranian strike was far less severe than the one Iran launched last week that started this whole round of escalation.

Ilhan Omar a 'Qatari asset' who passed secrets to Iran
11-26-19, WashingtonExam -- Muslim woman Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota freshman congresswoman said she is the victim of Saudi propaganda after she was accused of being a "Qatari asset" and conduit to Iran during a Florida court case.

NOW she is attacking President Trump ...
1-9-20, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. called on members of Congress to join her in an effort supporting Iran and stopping President Trump following the removal of the notorious monster Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani. Ms Omar said: “So what if Trump wants war, knows this leads to war and needs the distraction? Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.”  See 2 minute video here More here

1 Kings 3:28; Proverbs 10:27-29; Ecclesiastes 7:17

10-12-19, Henry Morris, PhD -- Although God’s wisdom is expounded in depth in the Scripture, there are only seven times that the specific phrase “the wisdom of God” is used as such. The above text is indicating that God’s wisdom can actually be manifested in men through divine inspiration. The Persian [current day Iran] king recognized this also in Ezra. “And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges . . . all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.” (Ezra 7:25)

Thus, the wisdom of God is always consistent with His laws—that is, with the Scriptures.

The first New Testament reference is from Christ. “Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles” (Luke 11:49). Here the Lord is applying a scriptural principle from 2 Chronicles 36:15-16, in effect calling the Scriptures themselves “the wisdom of God.”

Then three times the Apostle Paul uses the same phrase: “In the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God.”  

Finally, with God’s wisdom manifested through chosen people of God, we also can preach true wisdom in Christ:
​
“We preach . . . Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” That is, through both the written word and the living Word, we can proclaim true wisdom. “We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery . . . which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” 1 Corinthians 1:21, 23-24; 2:7
“to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.” Ephesians 3:10 "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Romans 1:20  Source

11:30 am, Wednesday, January 8, 2020
United States White House
Washington DC, USA

President Donald J. Trump:
"As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
Good morning. I’m pleased to inform you the American people should be extremely grateful and happy that no Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases.

​Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.

No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces, and an early warning system that worked very well. I salute the incredible skill and courage of America’s men and women in uniform.

For far too long — all the way back to 1979, to be exact — nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism, and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen.

Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world’s top terrorist, Qasem Soleimani. As the head of the Quds Force, Soleimani was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities.

He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of U.S. troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims.

Soleimani directed the recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq that badly wounded four service members and killed one American, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. In recent days, he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him.

Soleimani’s hands were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should have been terminated long ago. By removing Soleimani, we have sent a powerful message to terrorists: If you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.

As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression, the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior.

In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two U.S. drones.

Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying “thank you” to the United States, they chanted “death to America.” In fact, they chanted “death to America” the day the agreement was signed.

Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal, and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. The regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country, even recently killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran.

The very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway, and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism. The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality.

They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal -– or JCPOA –- and we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper, and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country.

Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred, and war. The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: Your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward.

Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process. Over the last three years, under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and America has achieved energy independence. These historic accompliments [accomplishments] changed our strategic priorities. These are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible. And options in the Middle East became available. We are now the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent, and we do not need Middle East oil.

US Officials believe Iran intentionally killed no one
1-8-20, Fox News -- Reportedly Iran fired dozens of missiles aimed at bases in Iraq in retaliation for the American strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani last week. Iran may have chosen to just send a face saving message rather than take significant enough action to provoke a substantial US military response. Many believe the current action is possibly a signal that the Iranian administration's current desire is to calm tensions. Iranian missiles landed close to the US consulate in Erbil, but didn’t target the consulate itself, though the belief is that they could have...

John 14:27; 1 Corinthians 13:11; Philippians 4:7; Colossians 3:15

1-7-20, As we watch the world's terror in the Middle East, Israel, Australia and mayhem in governments ... we just want peace. True peace can only be achieved from within. How? Well, when we're born again in Christ [John 3:3, 7] the holy Spirit dwells within us. The Apostle Paul says that it will go deep into our hearts and minds.

Contrary to the pontificating of liberals and their psychobabble, it isn’t something that can be explained in a self help book or with a few simple steps ... it only comes from God (John 14:27).

Followers of the Lord Jesus Christ - most of us - are at peace. It's not because our surroundings are peaceful, but because our hearts and minds are at peace with God. We are children of the King of Kings [Revelation 17:10-11] and He has everything under control. Whatever the evil world leaders plan ... the Lord is WAY ahead of them. Much of what we see that incomprehensible lunatic leaders contrive may be the result of God's strong delusion. [2 Thess 2:10-12]

​Be at peace.

Dozens arrested for arson as deadly wildfires ravage Australia
1-7-20, Two hundred people arrested for arson in Australia;  85% of bushfires started by humans… most deliberately. The fires are primarily raging in New South Wales, which is home to Sydney and more than seven million people.  The fires have killed 25 people [that's known so far] and destroyed hundreds of millions of animals and livestock, thousands of homes and more than 19 million acres of land. [..] Those charged with arson could face harsh penalties, including manslaughter, which carries a penalty of 25 years in prison. Police in New South Wales have taken legal action against 183+ people for fire-related offenses since early November 2019, including "discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land." More here

​Bushfire arson: Why do people deliberately light bushfires?
11-13-19, Australia's most notorious bushfire arsonist is Brendan Sokaluk, a former Victorian Country Fire Authority volunteer, who killed 10 people when he deliberately lit a bushfire on Black Saturday. Sokaluk became one of Victoria's worst killers in 2009 when his fire killed 10 and razed more than 150 homes.

Australian Rainforest burning
9-10-19, Guardian -- In Australia 50% of the Great Barrier Reef, the potential loss of these areas is burning ... there are about 80 fires in Queensland and a further 60 blazes raging through New South Wales. The maps show the east coast terrifyingly lit up like a grotesque Christmas tree. Many of these fires are burning out of control as the relentlessly gusty winds ground the firefighting aircraft needed to bring the blazes under control.

2. An elderly man drowned in a stream close to Binyamina.
3. In the basement of a residential building flooded with rain water; an elevator had short circuited so the doors would not open becoming tomb for two people. Rescue efforts were made with the necessary use of scuba gear; however one of the two victims, a man in his 30s body was removed from water filled elevator around 3 p.m. and a woman's body was removed around 5 p.m.

Matthew 5:45

 Joshua 1:6, 10:1-13

7-29-18, Henry Morris, PhD. -- This admonition to be strong and of “good courage” (Hebrew, amass) is given some ten times in the Old Testament, plus another nine times using a different word (chasaq). The first occurrence of amass is in Deuteronomy 3:28 where it is translated “strengthen:” 

“But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him:
for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause
them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.”

Christians today surely need good courage to face a dangerous world, with all its temptations and intimidations, but nothing today could compare to the challenge facing Joshua. Trying to lead a nondescript multitude of “stiffnecked,” desert nomads into a land of giants and walled cities would surely require courage beyond anything we could imagine. Giants and walled cities are no match for the children of God when He goes with them.

However, Joshua had access to invincible resources and so do we; God said:

“Be strong and of a good courage. Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9; Romans 8:31

God did go with Joshua; the Israelites defeated the giants, destroyed the walled cities and took the land. And we have the same promise today courage is really another name for faith:

“He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me'.”  v21“what He had promised, He was able also to perform.” (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 4:21) Source

1-5-20, * -- Recently US embassy in Iraq was attacked by Iran’s Islamic Shiite members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), it was a deliberate recreation of the February 1979 attack on our embassy in Tehran Iran that ushered in a new age of Shiite terror, the media was quick to label it 'Trump's Benghazi.' The parallels are certainly there.
 
In both Benghazi and Baghdad, Islamist terror militias who we thought were our allies turned on the United States. In both cases, there was nothing surprising or unexpected about this inevitable development to anyone except foreign policy experts and the media. Obama had helped birth the Islamic State by backing Iran's takeover of Iraq. Forced to fight ISIS, he doubled down on the same strategy. And that completed the takeover.
 
 
And, in both Benghazi and Baghdad, the Obama administration's policy of cultivating Islamic terrorists had come home to roost. The current Islamists who attacked the US embassy in Baghdad were not Trump's allies, but Obama's allies. When in 2011 the head of Badr Brigade of Iraq visited the White House … it was Obama’s not Trump’s. The close IRGC ally was welcomed by Obama, and played a role in the current embassy attack. Trump listed the IRGC, Iran's global terror hub as a terror group - Obama resisted it dating back to his time in the Senate [2005-08].
 
Once in the White House, Obama's policies so empowered and enabled the IRGC that in one of the most infamous incidents in American history, members of the Islamic terror group captured and humiliated American sailors. There is little doubt that the IRGC was the hidden hand behind the embassy attack in Baghdad through its PMF proxies.
 
The rise of ISIS and the attack on our embassy in Baghdad had their roots in Obama's backing for Iraq's Shiite dominated government. [..] Obama wanted to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible. His plan for a quick pullout was to allow Iran a free hand in Baghdad. The Sunni Islam tribal leaders who had made the 'awakening' against Al Qaeda possible were ignored by Obama when they came to D.C. seeking support against Iran.
 
While the media went on touting Obama's incredible successes in Iraq, the country split into two terror camps. While the Popular Mobilization Forces rolled up Shiite areas, Al Qaeda in Iraq reinvented itself as ISIS.
 
Unlike President Trump, Obama chose not to hit ISIS hard. Instead, after Iraq's military collapsed, his administration's anti-ISIS strategy relied heavily on supporting the Shiite PMF militias which included embedded Iranian forces.
 
Iran's takeover of Iraq, like its involvement in Yemen's civil war, in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza [in Israel] were funded by the wages of Obama's nuclear sellout. The billions that Obama directly and indirectly handed to the terrorists of Tehran were used to fund soft and hard influence across the region.
 
The Iran deal didn't just mean that the terror regime was able to continue building up its nuclear program, but that it could increase its financial commitments to the Islamic terror group Hamas [in Gaza], help build up Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and the PMFs in Iraq. [..]
  

In Dec 2011 Obama hosted known Islamic terrorists in the White house - in above photo Obama's sitting alongside Iraq's then-Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Hadi al Amiri, who led a pro-Iran siege on the US embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, 12/31/19 stands behind the sofa wearing a blue tie as part of Maliki's delegation  ... here
***

Under Obama, billions in foreign currency were illegally flown into Iran on unmarked cargo planes, then Pres Trump cut off the cash.
 
The cash crunch not only weakened Iran's regime, where fresh protests arose, but its terror networks, including in Iraq, began facing their own cash shortages. And so Iran's rulers, their IRGC hidden hand, and their Islamist PMF proxies decided to send America and the protesters a message. [..]
 
Who helped build up the Islamic terrorist infrastructure? The Obama administration did. Beyond the cash shipments to Iran and the sanctions relief, the PMFs benefited from US foreign aid directed through Iraq's Interior Ministry. Even as Iraq's Interior Ministry was headed by a Badr leader trained by Iranian forces who had been arrested for smuggling explosives used to attack American soldiers, US foreign aid kept flowing through an Iraqi ministry run by terrorists.

Jeremiah 31:8-9, 16-17

​1-5-20, Today in John Haller's weekly update he gives us a review and report of the first 5 days of the new year 2020 (not the new decade; it starts in 2021). He has accumulated much material approaching this update from a forward-looking stance, focusing heavily on the events that have occurred in the Middle East in just the past few days and some harrowing and terrifying videos from the horrific deadly wildfires in Australia; showing a woman with a waterhose trying to save her house - fire fighters trying to get out of the conflagration. At 4 pm in the afternoon it was dark as night ... people were forcefully warned to get to the water/ the beach as the fire was coming!

The powers are aligning. The stage is being set. It's just a question from where the spark comes. Who knows? It may have already come from the US Reaper Drone at the Baghdad Iraq Airport when the US Military took out the wicked killer from Iran Soleimani...

Peace I Leave with You
The Lord Jesus said: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, 'I go away, and come again unto you'. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, 'I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I.' And now I have told you before it come to pass [prophecy], that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do."

Exodus 1:17

1-2-20, Although abortion has declined in the Jewish state it's still a blot against God's law as it's murder. Over 18,000 human lives were taken in the barbaric and brutal act of aborting human lives from their mother's womb.

The sad news is that legal abortions approved by Israel law in 2018 [the last year for which statistics have been collected] are still being done. The Health Ministry, who is responsible for supervising legal abortion procedures - said in its annual report  - that there were 19,543 applications for abortions in 2018. 

Abortion in Israel is permitted when approved by a committee then the Israeli government will pay for women to kill their unborn children in abortion under one of following clauses:

1. The woman is younger than 17 years and older than 40
2. the pregnancy was conceived under illegal circumstances (such as rape or statutory rape) in an incestuous relationship or outside of marriage
3. the baby may have a physical or mental birth defect
4. continuing the pregnancy may put the woman’s life in risk or damage her physically or mentally. Under these circumstances, the government has been paying for an abortion in women younger than 33 since 2014.

According to govt data, abortions in Israel are lower than: England (16.2) and the US (13.2). 
Israel's abortion rates rank second lowest out of 28 European countries. The number of illegal abortions in Israel was not estimated in the report. More here

6-24-19, The Bible talks about a dominant city or nation in the last days that is a major center of commerce that will be destroyed. Many believe it’s referring to the Vatican in Rome; they're wrong there are many reason's why they're wrong the main one they speak of is the '7 mountains' of Revelation 17:9… the area of the Vatican is surrounded by 7 hills. ... there are no mountains in Rome. To hold that view 98% of the scripture referring to it must be ignored.

Following are the top twenty verses confirming the view that America is Mystery Babylon:

1. Is the most respected and envied around the world and yet at the same time is hated by the world. A nation "peeled", or timbered, a land of open fields and many waters; rivers. (Isaiah 18:2; Jer 51:13; Rev 17:1, 18:17-19)
2. Is lone super power of the world, “Queen among nations.” (Isa 14:4-6, 47:5; Jer 50:9, 23)
3. Would be an end time great nation. (Isa 13:6; Revelation 17:18)

10. Born as a Christian nation; her enemy will lie on the opposite side of the world. (Isa 13:5; Jer 50:11-12)
11. Peoples continually focus on pleasures thinking they are great, God's elect and eternal. (Isa 47:7-8)
12. Would be praised by the whole earth. (Jer 51:41)
13. Is a nation filled with warehouses and granaries. (Jer 50:26; Rev. 18:11-13)
14. Is noted for immigrants and men behave as women. (Jer 50:37; Hab 1:6)
15. Is noted for her livestock and treasures. (Rev 18:13)

John 17:11-19; Psalm 23:4

Those who are born again Christians should not be fearful as the world reels in despair and turmoil with the newest nasty events in the Middle East. The Islamic terror nation of Iran hates Christians & Jews. Jesus warned us we’d be persecuted – and we are. Be at peace. Colossians 3:15; 1 Peter 5:7

A good inspirational message follows from Ray Stedman.

1-3-20, * -- In John 17:11-19 we find the Lord Jesus explaining about the secular world that is organized in its antipathy against God; and the church, the body of Christ, God's family. [Matthew 5:11] He knew that there would be this conflict. He called a group out of the world-- not to be separate from it-- but to be a different group. God always sees humanity divided into two categories. Sometimes they are called two kingdoms-- the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. Sometimes they're regarded symbolically as two cities-- Jerusalem and Babylon.

Jesus, knowing the danger of the world, prays for His disciples. Pointing out the reason the world hates them/us. Here are men who have learned a source of joy that the world does not know how to produce. The world hates Christians because they have a source of life the world cannot explain or destroy. Satan tries to destroy it through the deceitfulness of the allurements of the world.​

Erick Erickson has a good report and summary of the history of the Islamic terror regime's - IRAN'S  terror - on the world and why President Trump's recent act was the right thing to do killing the monster Iran's General Soleimani.

1-2-20, Erick Erickson -- I won’t play Iran expert here. I grew up in Dubai in the 1980s. I remember once my school had to be evacuated for days on the threat of a bomb. I remember for a long time having to go through police checkpoints to get into school. Our lunch boxes would be open and book bags searched for bombs.

It was all thanks to the Iranians. At the height of the Gulf War, my father on an oil platform had to be evacuated as the Iranians decided to blow it up. Thankfully, they didn’t hit his, but others. One day, from school a few blocks from the Persian Gulf, we could see smoke on the horizon as platforms burned. We could hear the explosions. 
 Iran has been messing with us for a long time and we have treated them like gnats to be swatted. Eventually, a gnat might bite; it can become more than a nuisance. 
 Over the past few years, the Iranians have become more aggressive. The Obama Administration’s Iran Deal did not stop Iranians from exercising terroristic intent across the Middle East; but it did give them money to pay for their attacks.

 Since 1998, Iran's general Qassem Suleimani has been Iran’s puppet master, orchestrating terrorist brigades around the world.  He's now dead thanks to American resolve. If you want a sense of the damage inflicted, survey the headlines of drone attacks, terrorist attacks, bombings and more destruction across the Middle East for the past twenty years.
  Suleimani and Iran have been fighting us and our allies and we have restrained ourselves. Suleimani and Iran could be emboldened knowing we would never strike at them directly.

 Now we have and he is dead and Iran will retaliate.

US President Trump Orders Attack and Kills Iranian General Soleimani
1-3-20, DailyNews -- US officials confirm that the politically powerful Iranian general -the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force - Qassem Soleimani [62] died at Baghdad’s international airport Thursday, Jan 2, 2020 also Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, head of the Iranian-backed Popular Mobilization Forces was killed. The general was referred to as Tehran’s “shadow commander” during his time as the head of the Quds Force, a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responsible for conducting special operations outside Iranian territory. The drone strike was directly ordered by President Trump; the Pentagon said: “The strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans." [Obama and Bush tried sanctions and diplomacy even bribery with the rogue Islamic terror nation to no avail - many believe force is the only thing they understand.]Reportedly the recent attacks on the US Iraq Embassy was ordered by the Iran General Soleimani; he was hit near the Iraq airport’s cargo area as he disembarked his plane to be greeted by Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. General Suleimani was the architect of nearly every significant terror operation by Iranian intelligence and military forces over the past two decades and his death was a staggering blow for Iran at a time of sweeping geopolitical conflict. More here and here from NY Times
