The assassinated Soleimani was a very big player next in line to the leader of Iran. A million Iranians came out to grieve him. Although he was an enemy of the US he was loved by many Iranians. Trump could have taken out anyone or secured the bases he says were under constant threat even though they cannot be named. Whether one hates Soleimani or not, the order to assassinate him ratcheted up exponentially a widening war worry. Worse, the jet liner that was either mistakenly or not-so-mistakenly taken out by an Iranian missile carries with it the possibility and fear of a rationale for a widening war. Iran is removing the evidence of the air crash so those neutral entities like Ukraine, Canada and even the NTSB from the US will not have important pertinent wreckage for analysis.
Further, Manuchin just announced new sanctions which will devastate the Iranian economy even more. I don't think Iran will simply say ho hum okay we understand. No, it is yet another provocative act by this incompetent administration to send chills down our spines. Do I feel safer now that Soleimani is dead? Answer: No most definitely not!
