Did Trump inform the terrorist Qasem Sulemani before killing him? Biden's Recent Military Strikes, is it a joke?

Did Trump inform the terrorist Qasem Sulemani before killing him? Biden's Recent Military Strikes, is it a joke?
Ibrahim Ahmadi, Rudaw 24

The decision to disclose the impending attacks and the failure to directly target the Iranian regime have both faced criticism for potentially diminishing the impact of the strikes and failing to address the root cause of the issue.

President Joe Biden's recent military strikes in Iraq and Syria have sparked a debate on the effectiveness and strategy behind the actions taken in response to the drone attack on a US military outpost in Jordan.

I will critically analyze the decision-making process surrounding the strikes, particularly focusing on the disclosed warnings to Iranian-linked militias and the absence of direct targeting of the Iranian regime.

The Pre-Warning Dilemma:

One of the central criticisms lies in the decision to telegraph the impending strikes for over five days before their execution. By alerting the Iranian-linked militias about the nature, severity, and potential targets of the attacks, President Biden's administration inadvertently provided these groups with the opportunity to reposition themselves, minimizing the impact of the strikes. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the military action when the element of surprise was compromised.

The cat-and-mouse game of international relations demands strategic maneuvering, and the decision to disclose the impending strikes seems contradictory to the notion of executing decisive and impactful military operations. Critics argue that this approach resembles a diplomatic charade, giving adversaries the chance to evade the consequences of their actions and ultimately undermining the objective of delivering a robust and unanticipated response.

Failure to Directly Target the Iranian Regime:

Another point of contention is the failure to directly target the Iranian regime itself. While the strikes focused on Iranian-linked militias, they fell short of addressing the root of the issue – the Iranian government's support for these groups. By not directly confronting the regime responsible for sponsoring terrorism, the Biden administration may have missed an opportunity to send a stronger message and deter future provocations.

The concern is that these measured and limited strikes may be seen as a mere symbolic gesture rather than a substantive effort to address the underlying problems in the region. Critics argue that this restrained approach could embolden the Iranian regime, as it appears to operate with a degree of impunity, avoiding direct repercussions for its actions.
