    It really worked so well for the US killing the leader of Iran. Basically won them the war in one stroke. /s

    We have an obvious and pertinent example of a decapitation strike on political leadership not being a particularly good strategy from a military standpoint. Iran seems to be conducting itself much in a much less emotionally reactive way than this, so I doubt we’ll see it unless they really are falling apart internally and are just trying to lash out in revenge on their way down.

      You are equating the evil empire assassinating a leader with a underdog assassinating the evil empire leaders?

      GTFO.
