US interests in region ‘in danger’: Iran’s Rouhani tells Macron
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday that America’s interests in the region were "in danger," his office said, after the US killed an Iranian general.

"The United States must know its interests and security in the region are in danger and that it cannot escape the consequences of this great crime," he said in an hour-long telephone call with Macron, quoted in a presidency statement.

Friday’s killing of General Qasem Soleimani in a US dronezap in Baghdad on the orders of President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
ratcheted up tensions between the arch-foes.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
vowed "severe Dire Revenge" before Trump warned that Washington had lined up 52 targets if Tehran attacked American personnel or assets.

Amid the escalating war of words, La Belle France said on Monday that Iran must not retaliate for Soleimani’s killing.

"It is essential that Iran renounce any reprisals or retaliations," French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said, adding that "there is still a place for diplomacy, fortunately."
