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.

Iran clearly possesses the means to deliver precision strikes, with incredible accuracy. The ramifications could be significant.
