This general had a second in command who could easily take over. I am sure Iran has many capable generals who could step right in and continue the imminent attacks. Sometimes you have to use commonsense.

Now on the other hand, if Trump and his disciples from hell believed killing this top general would stop an imminent attack. That would prove they are completely incompetent.

sense as the assassination strengthens the power of the hardliners in Iran and leaves their command structure essentially intact. Worth thinking about tRump’s abnormal envy of President Obama, his recent call from his handler Putin, the news coverage of his impeachment, Lev Parnas’ imminent release of documents to The House Judiciary, the Deutsche Bank loan report, the opportunity the attack provides to make money on the stock market and finally, Moscow’s attempt to blame our IC for misleading tRump. All food for thought in the era of disinformation.
