It is now confirmed: the US has killed Qassem Soleimani.
Make no mistake - this is bigger than taking out Osama Bin Laden.
“A senior Pentagon official then confirmed to Newsweek that Muhandis was indeed killed, along with Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, pending DNA results that had a high probability of identifying the two men as the targets” newsweek.com/iraq-militia-o…
The US has apparently gone all-in tonight: according to rumours in Baghdad (and regional reports), Qais al-Khazali and Hadi al-Ameri have been arrested by US forces - these are two of Iraq’s most powerful militia heads.
Iran’s Supreme Leader has declared three days of mourning. Promises revenge. 
”Iran-backed Iraqi militia commander Qais al-Khazali ordered on Friday his fighters to be on high alert for an upcoming battle“ mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The US is just getting started: Asaib ahl al-Haq has been listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Mark Esper wasn’t kidding when he said the US will carry out pre-emptive strikes on Iran’s proxies.
