US intelligence agencies have given Israel the green light to assassinate the senior Iranian responsible for coordinating military activity on behalf of the Islamic Republic in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida.
For the past 20 years or so, Qassem Soleimani has commanded the Quds Force the branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards responsible for military and clandestine operations outside of the Islamic Republic.
Soleimani is a key figure in efforts to prop up Syrian President Bashar Assad and to enable him to retake cities and towns from rebel groups during his countrys ongoing civil war. He is also responsible for providing military aid to the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas in Gaza both of which are committed to the destruction of Israel as well as to Shia and Kurdish groups in Iraq.
Three years ago, Israel came close to assassinating Soleimani near Damascus, al-Jarida quoted unnamed source as saying, but the Americans tipped off the Iranians against the background of intense disagreement between Washington and Jerusalem.
That was during the Obama administration, which, according to reports at the time, was so focused on securing the 2015 Iran nuclear accord that it chose to overlook and even obstruct efforts to clamp down on Iranian-backed terror organizations.
Its not clear if the reported tip-off was related to efforts to secure the Iran deal.
Today, the Trump and Netanyahu administrations see eye to eye on Iran. Just four days ago, the two countries signed a joint memorandum of understanding laying the groundwork for full cooperation to deal with Irans nuclear drive, its missile programs and its other threatening activities, an Israeli TV report said recently.

who is the head of Iran's Quds Force, called the leaders of the military wings of
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad 'to offer military support'.....
This won’t take long did it.
The Islamic- crypto-American, fake ID, Obama administration
was so focused on helping N.Korea and Iran
that it chose to overlook the American People,
the Congress and the law.
Unfortunately, the FB”I”, DO”J”, were fully
paid off using the organs of raped children.
Were these Israeli mines, or raghead mines?
This who know don’t talk.
Those who talk don’t know.
No more what?
And Kuwait would be privy to secret U. S. Israelí agreements because?
Gotta say this sounds like vaporware.
“Unless the intention is to rattle his cage...”
Perhaps it’s to rattle ALL of their cages. One down...am I next?
You can’t negotiate with them and when you kill them you stir up a monster hornets nest. Israel has got a tough row to hoe.
What if it is? Your analysis?

Not that I am a fan of the IRGC Hezbollah etc but working with Russian air a spec ops support they did do a kickass job vs ISIS which was brutalizing Shia and Christian villages in Syria - as well as Aleppo
Psst: it is a secret. Dont tell anyone or the Iranians might find out
Exactly what I was thinking. They have not asked our permission in the past.
There are traitors in the US intel agencies(deep state)that had to feed this to kuwait(their intel agency wouldn’t have this info) to try to harm both the US and Israel, and to try to prevent the operation. Disgusting.
Since when did Israel need U.S. permission to take out those who would destroy them in a second given half the chance? Go for it Israel and with God’s help you succeed.
See, when the Democrats do something shitty, it's a 'coincidence' or 'it's not clear' to the Media. When the Republicans are accused of something.. No matter how fantastic... By the Democrats, the Media just runs with the narrative.
Works for me. Let the Mossad be the Mossad.
Looks like the doorman at the Ritz.
Better to say nothing. When asked later just say, “He fell.”
