Soleimani goes where Rafsanjani went.
Donald Trump did Khamenei a huge favor by eliminating Qasem Soleimani, a formidable military veteran and a Khomeini principalist who was feared by many in the regime including Khamenei and his son Mojtaba Khamenei who looks to take the lead once his father leaves. Rafsanjani who himself was eliminated, successfully argued for survival of the Islamic regime by means of giving economic freedoms to the revolutionary guards and prevent possibility of a military coup d'etat by sharing the spoils with the Ayatollahs. However the now very wealthy generals are standing in the way to negotiate with the USA. Soleimani's graphic and well publicized killing is a win for Trump AND Khamenei's Islamic establishment, Trump continues reiterating he does not want regime change, he is basically saying he wants change of alliance and allegiance by the Ayatollahs from Europe, Russia and the east to US. The question is what would the USA have to forgo to regain Iran from the claws of the Ayatollahs' masters. The circus continues and the Iranian population pays with their lives, dignity and wealth. It is only about keeping the Iranian population in yoke.
