When Solemani was target last night, a part of me wondered if this was an opening salvo in a complex operation for military conflict.
Solemani would be tasked with Quds Force reaction and responsibilities in any war with the US/Israel. Thus it is possible US would decide to take him off the board in hopes that would blunt the effect of an upcoming war.
Now we are seeing more air strikes targeting Iraqi milita far beyond any justified “deterrence and reaction role”. It seems US is taking a page out of the Israeli handbook where it is willing to risk the prospect of war in exchange for “de-fanging Iran and its allies”.
Iran is in tough place. If it doesn’t respond equivocally to these provocations then US will continue to strike Iranian assets throughout Syria and Iraq. This is called de-fanging. It was used on Saddam.
Then one day when Iran has been weakened US will feel it has enough of upper hand for armed conflict directly with Iran on Iranian soil.
So the choice is wether Iran wants war now or later down the road when it is weaker along with its allies?
Well it could also be a "defanging" of the idealogical corp of Sepah, headed by QS who happened to be the most charismatic and respected right and middle wings' figure, vs. augmenting, and speeding of, the ascendance of the professional corp of the Sepah! At any rate a blow to Khameniesm that was in control for the past 30+ years - aided and abated by the idealogical corp, the seminaries, and a great portion of the Iranian people - and instead hastening the transfer of power to the second generation of Iranian revolutionaries. Long live Peace. Long Live the US. Long live Iran. Be safe!
