On December 31, Donald Trump said his dream was for peace,

Adverbs of manner

kills Iran's most revered military leader

and a senior official in Iraq's paramilitary forces.

Donald Trump ordered the killing of Iran's top general.

When most people break their resolutions,

they eat ice cream instead of working out.

This guy rained down fire on these mother(bleep).

Now, despite... despite-- that's a real thing.

Now, despite all the instant experts on social media

Iran's top general was far from a household name, right?

The only Iranian leaders most people know

But don't get it twisted. Don't get it twisted.

For Iranians, General Soleimani was as big as it gets.

NEWSMAN: Qasem Soleimani was no ordinary general.

The U.S. officially classified him as a terrorist,

NEWSWOMAN: This morning the entire region on edge.

Iran vowing retaliation amid fears that two nations

NEWSMAN: Funeral processions unlike anything seen in decades

President Trump and Iran are also dangerously trading

A commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard

said his country had 35 U.S. targets in its crosshairs,

and then when Iran threatens to retaliate,

Trump says, "You better not, or I'll destroy your culture."

Yeah. What's next, he's just send a text,

Now, first of all, destroying cultural sites

Because according to the Geneva Convention,

are supposed to be for the purpose of the war,

But secondly, there is no way Trump knows anything

just to get Trump to get rid of stuff that they don't want.

So now the United States and Iran are on the brink of war,

but the killing of Iran's general has a ripple effect

NEWSMAN: The death of Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad

ignited a new chapter of regional tensions.

So are American forces, with 9,000 in the region

an urgent warning overnight telling all Americans in Iraq

The Pentagon announced that the U.S. has paused its efforts

due to a need to protect U.S. troops in the region.

to kick out the 5,000 U.S. troops in the country.

President Trump fired back, telling reporters

he'll make Iraq pay for money the United States spent in Iraq

Okay, guys, I don't know, but I think it's safe to say

that this thing's not going according to plan.

Because you realize now America is sending more troops

to the Middle East-- and also, how is Trump

gonna flat-out refuse to leave someone else's country?

Right? He would be the worst Airbnb tenant of all time.

(like Trump): I burned myself cooking meth in your kitchen,

so I'm not leaving until you give me my money back.
