LATEST ANALYSIS:
1) the theocrats of Iran have declared they’ll strike back “openly by Iranian forces” at US targets.
2) If true (and the NYT relied on multiple sources) then what I referred to on the very night of Trump’s strike as his “bold gambit” seems to have paid off.
3) This “bold gambit” was: Trump’s direct attack on #Soleimani emphatically ended the post-Obama era of appeasing Iran’s expansionism. Trump exposed our global conceit, the pretence that Iran wasn’t building multiple terrorist proxy militia in many countries, under our very noses

[Thread] There are so many angles to #Soleimani’s death that it will take time to grasp the full picture of it. But let’s try to look at a number of issues :
1/ The event : #Soleimani was one of the most important actors of today’s Middle East politics. His killing by the US is the most significant event in the region in recent years. Twitter tells you analysts are in shock : “we enter unchartered territories”.
2/ The spy : Head of the #IRGC, he was the face of Iranian regional expansion in the 2010’ and the architect of a network of militias in #Iraq, #Syria, #Lebanon, which has shaped these countries’ current situation.
