Is it possible Iran sacrificed Soleimani:

-To halt heavy protests against the Iranian government?

-To eliminate a potential pro-Soleimani coup?

-To appease Putin, Erdoğan, and Assad in their goal to settle the Syrian territory?

-Provide Trump with an impeachment distraction?
I keep going back to the Trump/Putin call December 30th and what could have been discussed.

Following the call with Putin, Trump orders 5 separate airstrikes in Iraq and Syria on Soleimani's Iranian-backed militias in response to an Iraqi-American death.
The day following the airstrikes,
the US embassy is stormed by Soleimani's Iranian-backed militiamen.

Trump then orders Soleimani to be assassinated January 2nd which led many to openly question, why now?
The assassination of Soleimani rallies the Iranians behind the government.

The assassination is hailed by Russia, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and America.
5 days later, in advance of a retaliatory strike in Iraq, Iran signals hours ahead of the pending strikes to avoid casualties.

Iran immediately claims the strike is 'proportionate' and calls for calm.

Trump then tweets "all is good".
Iran wins as its citizens are no longer protesting the government.

Russia, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia win as Soleimani is no longer leading troop warfare.

Trump wins as he claims victory in that no American lives were lost and the threat is drawn down.
If this theory, and it's only a theory, holds any weight, who could have orchestrated such a war-game dance?

All roads lead to Putin.
Reporting that Trump knew missiles coming hours earlier
Reporting that Iran deliberately missed to avoid casualties
Reporting of Iran saying missile strikes "proportionate" with Soleimani's assassination
Reporting of Putin meeting with Erdoğan and Assad.

Flashback to the secret phone call Trump and Putin had Sunday December 29

What did they discuss?
amp.insider.com/trump-putin-ph…
What was the secret message the Crown Prince delivered to Trump in the Oval Office?
Flashback to when Pompeo said to only expect a "little noise"
One question that should be explored.

Why was the private jet of the CEO of a sanctioned Russian bank in Florida just after Trump carried out the assassination?
One thing that has weighed on me that really has not been explored.

Why doesn't the ring match? Weird, right?
Why would Iran's news agency feel the need to tweet fake pics of missile launches and strikes?
