"The fingerprints of Israeli intelligence, the #Mossad, are unmistakably present in the assassination of #Soleimani. It is plausible that the attack on Soleimaniā€™s convoy was a joint CIA-Mossad operation." #Iran. @RamzyBaroud and @RomanaRubeo mintpressnews.com/israel-mossad-ā€¦

As the dust clears from the #SoleimaniAssassination a major takeaway relates to US perceptions of Iran's military capabilities: namely, that they are probably more impressive, and deadly, than were originally suspected.
Simulations have emphasized Iran's ability to use ballistic missiles to inflict heavy losses. After #Abqaiq and this attack, we have proof.

Iran clearly possesses the means to deliver precision strikes, with incredible accuracy. The ramifications could be significant.
My first reaction was that this was a calculated strike, meant as a provocative but ultimately restrained response to Soleimani. As we parse the data, it's also possible to see this as a demonstration

1. Jaw dropping thread here. In essence (from an on-the-record Iraqi PM speech in Parliament):

ā€¢ Trump asks Iraqi PM to be the mediator between U.S & Iran.
ā€¢ Iraqi PM already mediating between Saudi & Iran.

2/
2. #SoleimaniFuneral

ā€¢ Iraqi PM was meeting Soleimani morning of assassination, as Iran was responding to a Saudi message - Soleimani was the messenger.
3. #SoleimaniAssassination

What isnā€™t clear is if Trump knew Soleilmani was:

a) the messenger for Saudi/Iran mediations?
b) if Iraqi PM had disclosed Soleimaniā€™s travel agenda?
b) if Trump knew Soleilami would be the messenger for Iran vs U.S negotiations?
