Though the US and Iran have been adversaries for decades, tensions reached historic heights in the Trump era. The dynamic between Washington and Tehran became increasingly hostile after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA and reimposed economic sanctions on Iran as part of a "maximum pressure" campaign.
Given this history, some in Congress have expressed concerns about the motivations for the attack as well as the potential consequences. "Diplomacy, not murder, is the best path forward," Sanders added, decrying Fakhrizadeh's killing as "reckless, provocative, and illegal."If Iran retaliates over Fakhrizadeh's assassination in a major way, it could jeopardize the economic relief it desperately wants.
Iran will want to avoid targeting US assets in the waning days of the Trump administration, Slim said, adding that the central objective of "the Iranian reaction will primarily be to establish some form of deterrence against future, similar Israeli operations."
Trump's a nut Did you know – Biden supported the UK in 1982 against Argentina, when Dublin did not? Did you know – 1982 was not the first time the USA was involved in a Falklands dispute? Lexington Raid 1831 anyone? Or 👇 p.101
