I believe in the civilised countries they're call whales, with no reference to their religion.

Why hasn't Greenpeace pushed that back out to sea?

Today, a shrine dedicated to "Iranian Diplomatic Passport Holders" stands in Tehran’s Behesht Zahra cemetery with an inscription reading, “They are not the first or last martyrs to be splattered across a foreign country.”

Pompeo says Soleimani killing part of new strategy to deter U.S. foes

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday said Qassem Soleimani was killed as part of a broader strategy of deterring challenges by U.S. foes that also applies to China and Russia, further diluting the assertion that the top Iranian general was struck because he was plotting imminent attacks on U.S. targets.

In his speech at Stanford University’s Hoover Institute, Pompeo made no mention of the threat of imminent attacks planned by Soleimani. It only was in response to a question that he repeated his earlier assertion that pre-empting such plots was the reason for the Jan. 3 American drone strike on Iran’s second most powerful official.

His speech, “The Restoration of Deterrence: The Iranian Example,” focused on what he called an administration strategy to establish “real deterrence” against Iran following earlier Republican and Democratic policies that encouraged Tehran’s “malign activity.”

Paper: 16 US Servicemen Flown to Kuwait Hospitals with Severe Injuries after Iran's Missile Strike

The Arabic-language Al-Qabas paper quoted informed sources as saying on Sunday that the 16 US militaries, included some whose bodies had been severely burnt and some others who had sustained shrapnel wounds, have been transferred to a US military hospital in Kuwait under strict security measures.

It added that the wounded military men have gone under surgical operations and are still kept at the ICU section of the hospital.

According to the paper, several other US forces who had sustained mild injuries in Iran's missile strike are being treated in Iraq.

The US president and the Pentagon have both claimed that there has been no casualty in Iran's missile raid on Ain Al-Assad airbase.

Last Thursday, the US Central Command revealed that 11 personnel stationed at an Iraqi airbase which incurred a retaliatory missile attack by Iran over the Pentagon's assassination of Tehran's top commander, Qassem Soleimani, had to be sent out of the country after displaying concussion symptoms.

There's always some lefty NGO whinging about 'yooman rights' for terrorists.

That makes the US military and other unwelcome invaders fair game then. Perhaps diplomatic passport holders deserve extra attention.

The LORD has already publicly announced all illegal attacks, the military personnel, the ordering politicians, the suppliers of weapons, the bases/ships of the military utilised, the headquarters of the military, the administration offices, the political assembly's, the political members will be targets.

I suspect not.

Of cousre not as 99% of diplomats are issuing visas, arranging cultural exchanges, supporting their countries' citizens in need, issuing new passports for lost ones and generally public servants doing their jobs

^Under the new rules, wouldn't that just make them juicier targets?

I suspect very few "diplomats" actually do the "activities" you list.

Here is information on what a "Diplomatic Services Officer", might be involved in. The UK office and in an overseas Embassy.

"As a diplomatic services officer, you'll specialise in the practical side of diplomatic work and will deal with foreign policy and service delivery overseas. You'll also have the opportunity to influence international and diplomatic development.
The FCO deals with issues such as:

• conflict resolution
• counter terrorism
• trade and investment
• forced marriages
• human rights
• climate change.

Responsibilities

Tasks vary depending on where you're working. For example, you could be based in a small or remote embassy, in a large embassy in Paris or Washington, or in the FCO's London offices. However, you'll typically need to:

• draft and proofread written reports
• liaise with high commissions and embassies
• organise and ensure the smooth running of ministerial and diplomatic visits, from transport arrangements to entertainment
• answer general written correspondence by letter or email
• analyse and interpret written material
• handle queries by telephone from other departments, members of the public and overseas contacts
• deal face-to-face with queries from the public
• update travel advice and information
• manage staff, including overseeing staff performance and carrying out annual appraisals
• handle departmental or project budgets
• update and complete personnel details, accounts and other admin tasks
• support and assist colleagues with their policy work
• undertake other specific activities related to your particular department.
  

Overseas, the role may involve similar activities to those listed above. You'll also need to:

• assist British exporters and individuals
  
• work as an entry clearance officer, assessing visa applications and conducting interviews
• undertake specialist project work, depending on where you're posted."

In Thailand there is a commercial company to handle Visa application, VFS (Thailand) Ltd.

But I digress.

You do suggest that diplomats are, "generally public servants doing their jobs".

Do the jobs you listed as being done by "diplomats" warrant targeting and splattering?
