Complete with hidden tracking devices?

Iran wants to return the 'favour', US takes out their leader (currently they are mourning his loss) and Iran want to respond in kind.
Seems fair.

9-11 should have shown the US it is not immune from reprisal attacks, but . . . slow learners, and all that.

Watched an interview on Australian TV with an Iranian person - didn't catch his name or role - and the hate for America and countries like Australia allied to the US was palpable.
