#Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani: Iran assessing 13 retaliation scenarios against the U.S. I cannot give more information, but I can say that the Soleimani revenge operation will not be just one single operation.
Shamkhani:
“A total of 19 sites, including 11 main bases, are the closest to #Iran's eastern & western borders. There are also 8 U.S. bases north & south of Iran. They're on high alert. We’re aware of their military personnel & equipment & we're tracking all their developments”.
Shamkhani:
"U.S. forces are mainly concentrated at bases. The U.S. is aware of #Iran's long-range power & know that the response is likely to be triggered by medium-range & long-range missiles."

The consequences of killing Soleimani are hard to grasp; this is the biggest news in the #MiddleEast for years.

For starters, the US will have to leave #Syria soon & the #Iraq presence is likely on its way out too.

Plus Hezb-#Israel; the Gulf, US Embassies & assets region-wide.
This is insane.

Reports now of US Marines “arresting” Qais al-Khazali & Hadi al-Ameri in #Baghdad.

#Trump wanted a “royal flush?” Jesus.

War is coming, the only questions are the important ones: where, in what form & when?

Messaging coming out or #Tehran is already ominous - “strikes,” “earthquakes,” etc.

Killing #Soleimani is an extraordinarily bold move by #Trump - but is he prepared for the consequences?

Taking a brief foray back to Twitter to note the strategic significance of today's U.S. strikes on Kataib #Hezbollah in #Syria & #Iraq.

19 dead (incl. 3 #IRGC) & 35+ wounded is a major response by the U.S. - alike #Israel's retaliatory modus operandi - BUT note: U.S is exposed.
#pt: The U.S. government apparatus (esp. IC) has known for a long time - and feared - this scenario, whereby the death of an American would necessitate a serious response, which in turn would leave U.S. personnel in #Syria & especially #Iraq exposed to #IRGC counter-retaliation.
#pt: #IRGC-linked rocket attacks in #Iraq are hardly new, but the death of an American was.

Likewise, the death of 19+ KH fighters is new & a marked walk up the escalation ladder.

#Iran holds the cards now & re-escalation seems likely -- leaving #Trump in a position he fears.

They work closely with #IRGC commanders under diplomatic cover!

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory
