MILITARY STRATEGIST: Why Trump Is Weighing a Land Blockade of Iran
"Although killing um Soleimani was amazing. It was about 15 years too late."
John Spencer argues the US killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani was a major action, but says it should have happened much earlier. He links the timing critique to Iran’s long-running use of proxy forces and the costs to US troops and partners. Spencer presents the 15-year delay as personal judgement rather than citing new evidence.
