Why the US Isn't Ready for What's Really Happening in Iran

What was said

"The United States created a completely new normalization of what is acceptable rules of war. And specifically, they showed that the decapitation of foreign leaders, adversarial leaders, is now something that largely can be accepted and possibly even expected when 2 countries have some sort of existing conflict."

The speaker warns that U.S. and Israeli attempts to assassinate Iran's Ayatollah have shattered a longstanding gentleman's agreement against targeting foreign leaders, opening the door for countries like Russia, China, and others to execute similar decapitation operations. This includes potential targeting of American leadership and escalation of conflicts worldwide from India-Pakistan to the Middle East.
