Will Iran's Response to Soleimani's Killing Implicate U.S. Foreign Student Policies?
 
By Dan Cadman on January 3, 2020

Most Americans probably know by now that a U.S. strike killed the commander of the Quds Force, the portion of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responsible for terrorism, assassination, and other illicit covert activities all over the world in furthering the strategic goals of the Islamic Republic.

Democrats who were panning Trump's soft-pedaled response to incursions of Iran-backed militias onto the grounds (and into some of the outer buildings) of the United States' largest embassy in the world, suggesting it was the beginning of his "Benghazi", are now spinning a 180 at the unambiguous response to Iranian-provoked aggressions to edgily declare that he may have brought us to the brink of war with the ayatollahs.

As David Sanger suggests in a news analysis for the New York Times, "[W]hile senior American officials have no doubt the Iranians will respond, they do not know how quickly, or how furiously."
