By all accounts the reason that that President Trump ordered the killing of Iranian Revolutionary Guard terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani was the recent prevarications of the Iranian regime towards America.
Most recently, these included the killing of an American contractor and the organization of an attack on the US embassy in Baghdad. But there is another important aspect of the timing of this strike that should not go unnoticed: the deepening protests inside Iran against its government.
The protests grew to be about more than just filling the gas tank, they became about the future of Iran itself, and a terrified Iranian regime did it was does best, its killed its own citizens for daring to speak up.
If there is any figure in Iran who seemed untouchable it was Soleimani.
His death sends a powerful message that Iran's regime is neither inevitable, nor untouchable.
In the wake of the Iran deal, what must those in Iran who detest the murderous regime and wish to fight it have thought? Essentially Barack Obama gave the Ayatollah Khomeini a lifeline and the keys to maintain power indefinitely.
If the United States would not be on the side of Iranian dissidents, who would? Thankfully president Trump got us out of the Iran deal, in a move decried by all Democrats and most of our allies.
