🔴 Iran’s response could be something that puts President Trump in the uncomfortable position to decide on wether to enter a full-blown war or to accept collateral damage on the U.S to uphold his campaign promise of keeping out of the Middle East conflicts.

Either way, it could negatively impact his reelection chances. His hypothesis that Soleimani demise relieves many inside Iran’s high ranking circles and it all will end with a non-lethal face-saving response and new negotations is a gamble on (hopefully) rock-solid intelligence.

So, if it was indeed miscalculation and the Iran response results in U.S deaths, from game theory perspective the optimal decision for Trump is to raise the escalation ladder much higher (b/c his aim is to finish the conflict quick)

Which would mean a large scale air-based attack taking out Iran’s air defense, ballistic missile and navy assets.

🔴 REUTERS: In mid-October, Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani met with his Iraqi Shi’ite militia allies at a villa on the banks of the Tigris River, looking across at the U.S. embassy complex in Baghdad, and instructed them to step up attacks on U.S. targets in the country.

2 militia commanders and 2 security sources briefed on the gathering told Reuters that Soleimani instructed his top ally in Iraq, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and other powerful militia leaders to step up attacks on US targets using sophisticated new weapons provided by Iran.

Soleimani’s plans to attack US forces aimed to provoke a military response that would redirect Iraqis’ anger towards Iran to the US, according to the sources briefed on the gathering, Iraqi Shi’ite politicians and government officials close to Iraq PM Adel Abdul Mahdi.

At the Baghdad villa, Soleimani told the assembled commanders to form a new militia group of low-profile paramilitaries – unknown to the United States – who could carry out rocket attacks on Americans housed at Iraqi military bases.
