Editor’s Note: My advice? Due to continued interference from “them”, I Am posting much more quickly now in order to post at all. If I take more than a few seconds, my screen is frozen and I have to open a new webpage and post from there.

So…this is why articles posted may not include an “Editor’s Note” on occasion. That being said…if you would like to repost (please do!), might be wise to wait for a few minutes to pass. Thanks, and on to the news!

• Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani, was killed in a US airstrike early on 3 January as he was reportedly travelling by car from Baghdad International Airport. Esmail Ghaani, a deputy to Soleimani, was named the new head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ foreign operations branch, the Quds Force, just hours after the incident at Baghdad International Airport.
• President Trump: “General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more… but got caught! He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself. While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country. They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago!”Venezuela will sell oil and part of the gold it produces for its national petro cryptocurrency, the country’s President Nicolas Maduro said. “We will sell Venezuelan oil in exchange for petros. We already sell Venezuela’s iron ore and steel for petros. We have already signed contracts for the sale of oil, steel, iron and aluminum, and we will sell part of the gold for petros.”

• Hours before a US strike at Baghdad’s International Airport killed Iran’s top military leader, Qasem Soleimani, former Obama National Security Council (NSC) official Steven Simon posited in a New York Times Op-Ed that Soleimani could be assassinated using a hypersonic missile while visiting Baghdad. While US officials told Reuters that a drone – not a hypersonic weapon – took out Soleimani, it’s incredibly curious that Simon, Obama’s former senior director for the Middle East and North Africa on the National Security Council, wrote of his assassination literally hours before it happened, where he suggested it might happen.
• Trump on Friday said that America does not seek “regime change” in Iran, and that the United States “took action last night to stop a war” by killing Iran’s #2 commander, Qasem Soleimani, on Thursday.

• Iranians online are cheering the killing of Iran Quds Force leader Major General Qassem Soleimani by a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad early Friday local time, with many thanking President Trump with a hashtag that reads: #TnxPOTUS4Soleimani.
