The Trump administration has trained its eye on the new leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds force, but may have a hard time targeting a commander expert in delegating behind the scenes and operating below the surface.
Esmail Qaani, a bespectacled, gray-haired 62-year-old man, assumed the top post in Iran’s primary foreign operations military wing just hours after the U.S. drone strike that killed his predecessor, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, on Jan. 3.
Emerging from the background, Qaani’s first major public appearance came standing near Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Jan. 6 as he delivered a tearful eulogy at the funeral for the dead commander.

The MSM went wall-to-wall with the story, they were all lamenting the fact that he was no longer with us, even though they had never mentioned him before.
Now the story has vanished, as if it never was.
Time to put a bullseye on this new pos.
I’m scared.
The opportunity will arise.
S’okay, Qani... we have plenty of Hellfire missiles.
I suggest he does it deep in the bowels of a bunker or cave.
Ask Al Baghdadi.

Here we go again.
Esmail Qaani: What is that humming sound I hear over my shoulder??? Oh crap!
NAil this guy.
Wherever he is.
Trump is just waiting for his coordinates to be phoned in.
You won’t hear it.... and unfortunately you won’t even feel it.
Take this jack@$$ out too.
“..Esmail Qaani,...”
Better keep looking over your shoulder, Email... or find a new line of work.
This ain’t OBunghole you’re dealing with - you don’t have a brother in the White House anymore.
I hope the Mandalay Bay has beefed up security.
Soleimani's enigmatic successor vows revenge on US
I say we plink this guy with a drone strike as well. Maybe they will get the message.
Only if he’s in Iraq or Syria.
Fire up the UAV Reaper.
Bold talk. It’s open season of terrorist thugs whether they wear a uniform or not.
Given that there were in fact injuries from the Iranian rocket attack, Trump has been far more patient with the mullahs than I would advise. If they continue to push their violence, when Trump finally loses his patience, the beat down is going to be epic and more than deserved.
