The U.S Military Kills The Head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Update: Trump Reportedly Authorized Soleimani’s Killing Seven Months Ago

The more I’m thinking about this the less I think it was necessarily a bad move. No one is saying the guy shouldn’t have been taken out, and now Trump is saying he doesn’t want regime change or escalation to war.

I’m basing this opinion solely on the face of facts so far though, not on my personal belief on how well Trump might handle it from here forward.

You actually believe a word Trump says?

"The death of Qasem Soleimani dominates Iranian media, with the state broadcaster draping his image with a black ribbon of mourning and repeating threats by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to inflict "severe revenge" on the United States."

One of the worst strategic mistakes you can make is creating a martyr for the other side.

Any one in leadership is going to be treated like that by their country. So don’t kill them because of it, even if they’ve killed hundreds of Americans, which is stated fact from all sides.

The most reasonable reason I’ve seen for not killing him was Bush and Obama’s. Basically he wasn’t worth the backlash. If he was planning attacks against Americans though, would he then be worth it? I’m not saying I believe anything that Trump and his admin says, but at face value I can see why that would be a good reason.

I’m just being objective here and creating a martyr is not a good enough reason to not kill an enemy, which all agree he was.

You seem to be missing the big picture...

Killing soleimani and the potential fallout potentially risks far more american lives even still. By almost all accounts iran will retaliate. Where does it end?

And to add a key piece of context...this couldve possibly been avoided if we had not pulled out of the iran deal. Surely he was responsible for american deaths during the iraq war.

But guess what? That war is over (for now). His direct threat to americans had been largely neutralized because of the deal.
