Social media is in shock as the hashtags #worldwar3 and #WWIII top trends in Pakistan.
The reason behind this sudden trend is reportedly after the death of Iran Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani, who died in Baghdad.
Soleimani was killed in a drone strike which was reportedly done on the orders of United States President, Donald Trump “in a decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad,” the Pentagon said Thursday.
The attack came amid tensions with the United States after a New Year’s Eve attack by Iran-backed militias on the US Embassy in Baghdad.
Confused netizens are panicking as the President welcomed 2020 with drone strikes.
Iran, on the other hand, has said that they will retaliate in a harsher manner.
Mixed Social Media Reactions for World War 3!
Iran War thread 1/25
Trump is risking a war with Iran & #WWIII. Pompeo wants this war. Trump NEEDS a war to distract from his impeachment & ever worse details leaking. So there is a big push for war in Iran. This is a VERY VERY incredibly BIGLY bad idea. A thread about Iran War
