Was the assassination of Qassem Soleimani a good move?
“U.S. forces assassinated Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike early Friday near the Baghdad International Airport, an escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran that is prompting concerns of further violence in the region.”
Soleimani was apparently the “most popular man in Iran” according to recent opinion polls. The attack was justified with the claim that Soleimani was planning attacks on Americans. War is supposedly not in the interests of either nation here, but do you think this will lead to war? Iran vows revenge for this attack. What is our long-term strategy in Iran? Because I’m not seeing any.
