As you probably heard or read, Donald Trump ordered the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. This action made Iran and the rest of the Middle East uneasy of the future that will come. We are upon another war conflict in this territory. When the news of Soleimani’s demise became public, the phrase World War 3 started to trend on Twitter. Iran was fast to promise revenge, while most of the world’s leaders called for both sides to remain calm and seek a peaceful solution.

During Soleimani’s funeral, the now head of the Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami, promised a ‘hard and definite revenge. Soleimani was one of Iran’s most powerful man, second only to Ayatullah Ali Khamenei.
Donald Trump is, on the other hand, without a doubt, one of the world’s most powerful men. As such, he was not hesitant to threaten Iran via Twitter on numerous occasions, even after Baghdad Airport attacks.
