We’ll discuss the latest developments in the Middle East, trying as usual to deconstruct the mainstream government and media narrative and explain – or try to – what is actually going on.
Yes, it was a political assassination of a high level representative of a foreign government. As some people have noted – even during the most tense periods of the Cold War – the United States never assassinated a high level Soviet official as it did Qassem Soleimani.
In fact it was a political assassination of government representatives of two foreign governments. Besides Qassem Soleimani, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was killed. Although the mainstream media tries to portray him as a “militia” leader, he was actually a high level official in the Iraqi government.
It was also the first time since WW2 that a government openly challenged the US government militarily with the Iranian missile strike on the two US bases in Iraq.
In any case, we’re going to talk about this assassination – and what it set in motion in some detail
