Evidence is Mounting that Qassem Soleimani was Turned Over to the US by his Rivals in Tehran
According to confidential sources inside Iran, on the night of January 6th, 56 high-ranking IRGC officers, including the late Qods Force commander General Soleimani’s right-hand man in Iraq, were arrested. A further 34 IRGC officers were detained on the 8th.
All 90 of these men were said to be personally loyal to Soleimani.
This news is increasing the speculation that Soleimani, who was known to act on his own initiatives, and who was being seen as a possible future dictator-in-waiting for Tehran, was betrayed to American intelligence by his own colleagues within the regime, who feared that he would deprive them of their power and privileges.
Additionally, information has surfaced that Soleimani, who had been personally leading the repression against the popular uprising in Iraq since October, had been planning a coup d’état in Baghdad that would have resulted in the assassination of the Iraqi president, and the seizing of the American embassy there.

I suppose now the Mullahs will just have to execute the lot of them, just to make sure.
Gateway Pundit: BOMBSHELL OMG. Yawn
Sounds like fake news
Oh wait, its Gateway Pundit
It is the fake news
I wish Gateway Pndit was banned from FR. So unreliable.
So what is real news to you?
No way. They're quoting anonymous internet sources and tweets.It don't get no realer than that.
The killing of Soleimani along with the arrest of his cohorts is equivalent to the military operation that would entail the entirety of the 82 and 101st Airborne divisions, a dozen Seal teams, equivalent numbers of Special Forces, Rangers, and First Force Recon non-conventional forces, and maybe one or two other Marine and Army divisions.
In short, this was one of the greatest military operations in history in ROI.
something besides sh*t like this.
Yes, but this is an EXCLUSIVE BREAKING BOMBSHELL.
So these guys were arrested because one or more betrayed Soleimani? Or because they supported him? Maybe the rest of the article will say, I will check it out. All 56 couldn’t have betrayed him.
What an idiot this guy is.
Still not utterly clear, but lots of great info at Gateway. Apparently all of them are fighting with each other.
This could explain why POTUS did not attack after the missile attack. Some good guys could have gotten hurt. Good is a relative term here. I hope something is up
Did any of you actually go to the link and read all the info there?
I don’t think so.
“BREAKING,” a few more all-caps words, anonymous internet sources, and an exclamation point for good measure. Only thing missing is “BOMBSHELL.”
Hoft is a buffoon.
Purge by the new guy?
Leak conrol: Torture ‘em all until someone tells?
Possible that Iran gave Sol. to the US, so they could avoid the blame for getting rid of him themselves?
Possible that some of the passengers on the plane that was shot down, were people attempting to flee being arrested?
In the Middle East, nothing is simple, and nothing is as it seems...
