It was revealed on Thursday that President Trump had ordered a drone airstrike on Iran that resulted in the death of the country's commander of the Quds Force, Major General Qassem Soleimani. The strike reportedly occurred at the Baghdad International Airport where Soleimani was riding in his vehicle, and now, alleged footage of the strike has been released. Per TMZ,  a video from the Al-Ahed channel, an independent Iraqi television network, shows the blast occurring, though the clip has yet to be confirmed by other major news outlets as verified footage of the attack. TMZ also included a photo of the aftermath of the strike, in which a vehicle near Baghdad International Airport can be seen burning. Three rockets were said to have been launched at the site in the strike. Six people were reportedly killed in total.

While the President of The United States tweets out threats to Iran like he’s 50 Cent trying to tear down French Montana, many are concerned about the lives put at stake due to Trump’s bravado. A U.S. airstrike has taken out the top Iranian military commander, Qassem Soleimani, and it seems inevitable that there will be some form of retaliation for this. An extreme prediction has been that things will escalate into World War 3. Twitter was quick to spin this frightful fate into jokes about draft-dodging and so on because Twitter can’t take anything seriously. 

Not everyone felt this was an appropriate occasion for memes, though. Waka Flocka Flame has taken to posting inspirational quotes and random thoughts on his Instagram page. “These war memes funny and jokes until you have a friend or family member leaving for war,” Waka wrote in white text over a black background. “My heart goes out to the 7,000 soldiers leaving and I’m also praying for the people in Iran.” 

Waka wasn’t the only rapper to publicly empathize with the troops. Meek Mill tweeted: “One time for the soldiers that really gotta go to war and put ya life on the line …. we from the trenches so we know the feeling of having ya life on the line 24/7 not knowing if you gone make it home!” 

Cardi B is no stranger to getting political. Although it's not necessarily evident in her music, she does use her social media and celebrity platforms to shed light on injustices. Sometimes, she even chimes in on political and social issues revolving the lives of everyday Americans.

So it should come as no surprise that Cardi had some thoughts on the Trump-authorized military airstrike that killed general Qasem Soleimani. The rapper hit Twitter to chime in on the matter while also delivering some quality memes to the WWIII talk. First, she acknowledged the hilarious memes before digging into the matter at hand.

"Naaaaa these memes are fuckin," she wrote alongside a slew of laughing emojis. "but shit ain’t no joke ! Specially being from New York. Its sad this man is putting Americans live in danger.Dumbest move Trump did till date ...I’m filing for my Nigerian citizenship."

She added that she's "Picking my tribe." She did get in on the meme fun, sharing images of herself and her daughter Kulture in traditional Nigerian headwear. 

Cardi recently performed in Nigeria and Ghana where she appeared to have a ball. While making her debut in Africa, she hit the strip clubs, where she made it rain, and also donated diapers, waters, and other supplies to an orphanage in Nigeria. Clearly, West Africa holds a special place in Cardi's heart.

“At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization,” the Department of Defense reportedly said in a statement. “General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region...his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more.”

The airstrike reportedly occurred at the Baghdad International Airport as Soleimani was riding in his vehicle after returning from Syria. The Department of Defense stated Soleimani was responsible for orchestrating "attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over the last several months — including the attack on December 27th — culminating in the death and wounding of additional American and Iraqi personnel...The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world."
