“So for us, its a lose/lose situation so we might as well hit back.”
Agreed.
A Soleimani-style hit would be great retribution. Take out one of their high ranking generals who may be in Syria or Iraq right now.
IIRC, the Iranians were stunned when Trump took out Soleimani. They weren’t expecting anything like it.
When the story was initially reported I assumed Soleimani was in Iraq as part of some kind of military campaign. It turns out he was there as an invited guest of the Iraqi government, and just flew right into Baghdad Airport on a civilian aircraft. In that context, I never understood the rationale for taking him out the way they did.
