The United States is considering direct assassination strikes against specific Iranian leaders who are thought to be blocking US-Iran negotiations, according to a CNN report. One senior figure mentioned is Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), whose extreme positions are seen as a major obstacle to advancing talks. The report indicates the potential targeting is part of a strategy to remove key hardliners opposing a diplomatic resolution. This development underscores the high stakes and aggressive posture the US is willing to adopt to secure its objectives with Iran.
