Iran Loses Its Indispensable Man -The Atlantic
Short article from Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Middle East Policy in the US Government from 2015 to 2016
(Bolding mine)
Today the United States killed Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corpss Quds Force. The United States is now in a hot war with Iran after having waged war via proxies for the past several decades.
This doesnt mean war, it will not lead to war, and it doesnt risk war. None of that. It is war.
