Associate Fellow, IDSA, Mr. A. Vinod Kumar’s interview to ‘The Week’ on Iran’s reaction to the killing of Gen Soleimani, has been published as an article titled ‘Iran’s options to retaliate for Gen Soleimani’s killing are limited’ on January 03, 2020.
According to Mr. Kumar, Trump’s decision to kill the head of Iran’s elite al-Quds force Qasem Soleimani is a huge act of aggression. As a targeted political assassination of a highly placed Iranian official, it should be treated as unprecedented violence of high intensity and could potentially lead to military hostilities.
