Two years after President Donald Trump ordered the drone strike killing of Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani, some in the Middle East are again vowing revenge.

We’ve already seen some indications of Iran’s intent. A conventional attack occurred on Sunday when two drones were shot down near an Iraqi military base. “Soleimani’s Revenge” was written on one of the drone’s wings. Israel’s Jerusalem Post newspaper was also subject to a cyberattack. Its home page was hacked with the ominous message, “We are close to you where you do not think about it,” replacing its homepage in both English and Hebrew. A picture of a missile escaping a ring worn by Soleimani accompanied the phrase.

At the same time, Iran is waging a public relations campaign vowing revenge if Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are not tried for killing Soleimani. They are also taking to Twitter to use leftist talking points to attack Trump, America, and Israel.

“2 years ago, I lost a friend, Iran a hero & the world a champion in fighting terrorism,” tweeted former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. “To those in denial, Trump’s true colors were on full display only a year later in U.S. Capitol. The world needs brave fighters like #Soleimani — not coward warmongers like Trump, Netanyahu & Co.”

Zarif does not need to look far to realize that the Jan. 6 riot is the front and center of Democratic talking points. Between the New York Times editorial board’s op-ed, “Every Day Is January 6 Now,” the three separate authors of the Washington Post’s column, “Fear, anger and trauma: How the Jan. 6 attack changed Congress,” or CNN’s wall to wall coverage of the event, the evidence is pretty clear; Democrats are obsessed with Jan. 6.
