So what are the sanctions? Are the Iranians placing a reward for their deaths? What exactly? The piss-poor excuse for a "news article" conveniently left that out.

The article also fails to present actual proof that the US or any of it's officials were actually behind this action. Apparently the deceased general made numerous enemies.

Iranians risked their lives recently to torch his statue. My best educated guess would be it was an inside job or it was the Israelis.

Is that true?

The more worthless an American passport becomes, the greater the threat.

In a multi-polar world an American passport does not carry as much weight. Nor can you rely on Interpol. Interpol just might arrest you given relative strengths.

I remember middle school overseas. A few times the high schoolers would comment among each other that so and so had been kicked out of the country. They had been caught with drugs.

There was a choice. Stay and face a 3rd world prison or leave in 24 hours and never come back. We all though it was more than fair. It all depends on you passport.

Meh. Pay back measures that AREN'T made public would worry me more, if you get my drift.

Knowing how Iran operates and who their allies are we already know what the payback measures are. How is former president Trump, his wife, and family members still on this side of eternity? Obviously the Mossad are protecting them. Jared Obviously took the time and effort to build such relations.

The CIA is Iran's intelligence agency on the North American continent but they're so incompetent even Iran doesn't rely on them.

That's funny

You might not be kicked out of the FSB and sent to Siberia after all.
