Iran would be perfectly within their rights to assassinate various US government officials. After all, that's exactly what the US and Israel have been doing in Iran.
But do they really have that capability? I agree, it'd be totally justifiable and a credible war target, but let's be realistic here.
Considering some rando nearly got Trump, and how the MAGATs have dismantled their intelligence apparatus and completely lack an interest in risk assessment...Iran actually has a decent shot. Literally and figuratively. After all, you don't have to ID yourself if you claim to be a member of ICE. Just wear a mask, don't use license plates, and carry weapons, you will look like every other random gravy seal.
Damn, that's a really good point. They've created the scenario that is most likely to haunt them.
They probably dismantled it for that reason. Good excuse to arm up and lock down
Depends on the official, really.
True, but taking out a mayor isn't their goal.
