This sounds . . . ominous:

Breaking news: Airstrike at Baghdad airport kills Iran’s most revered military leader, Qasem Soleimani, Iraqi state television reports https://t.co/NbZW4DaWvD— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) January 3, 2020

And:

Sources in Baghdad are reporting *both* Qassem Soleimani & Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis were in the convoy struck by the US tonight. There's no turning back if that's the case – the US is committing itself to a full-fledged conflict with Iran, one that won't be confined to Iraq.— Ranj Alaaldin (@RanjAlaaldin) January 3, 2020

There’s always a tweet:

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2011

. . . Who will be the first lefty (or “lefty”) out of the gate with a “impeaching Trump started a war” take? Greenwald is the chalk pick of course.
