Trump just sent Iran a big message regarding the embassy attack this morning after noting that our military rushed in to protect it:
The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is, & has been for hours, SAFE! Many of our great Warfighters, together with the most lethal military equipment in the world, was immediately rushed to the site. Thank you to the President & Prime Minister of Iraq for their rapid response upon request….

….Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!

After this, Trump then tweeted this is the “Anti-Benghazi”:
The Anti-Benghazi!

He’s right, because what made Benghazi so bad was that neither the White House, the Pentagon, nor the State Department responded to protect our people at the US consulate in Benghazi or the nearby base as they were under attack.
It appears Trump is learning the lessons from the Obama administration and is not going to allow our people in Baghdad to suffer the same fate.
