In reality, Iran responded to the killing of Qasem Soleimani by launching 15 missiles at coalition bases in Iraq, fortunately killing no one — it was a far cry from World War 3, which started trending on Twitter.
However, the Fars News Agency, pretty much a propaganda arm of the Iranian government, seems to be airing a fantasy retaliation in which members of Soleimani’s Quds Force avenge him by coming to the United States, blowing up the Capitol building, and then moving on to infiltration of the White House, where a terrorist lobs a grenade into the Oval Office. (We think President Trump had already been killed by gunfire though.)
Also, the whole thing appears to be planned and executed by a group of about six to ten men.
We can’t place the movie from which they got the footage of the Capitol blowing up; maybe you can.
Iran’s latest propaganda video is a doozy. The Qods Force blows up the Capitol dome, captures the White House, and kills Donald Trump — to avenge Qassem Soleimani. pic.twitter.com/6QLML3S6h3

Is that who that was supposed to be? We figured they borrowed Kathy Griffin’s Trump mask for the shoot.

So, they can execute this flawless exercise, but can't determine that a civilian aircraft leaving Tehran in their own fly zone shouldn't be shot down?

I think they need to concentrate on how to operate a surface to air missile before they plan their invasion of the most powerful country in the history of earth’s existence.

OK.
Then, we turn Iran into a parking lot.
Easy.— Giant Killer on Guard (@Andrew30573975) January 11, 2020
Those sound like more imminent threats. Has Pompeo seen this? We need to turn Tehran into a sheet a glass. Conduct a séance – conjure Curtis LeMay. Let's do this.

That video plays out like a bad 70s/80s action movie produced by Cannon Films during the Golan-Globus era. And we all know that in a situation like that, Chuck Norris will be there to chop some heads with a boot-heavy spinning roundhouse.

I recognized the scene from an American movie, “White House Down”. (2013). I thought the movie was sick when it aired.

I am not surprised. They are sending the signal to their lobby apologists here in DC & on campuses and think tanks to go blow themselves up, Twitter justification on regime crimes isn’t enough for them. None of us is safe here from Iranian regime lobbyists & agents.
