Former Obama Official Hints Admin Warned Terrorist That Israel Was Going To Assassinate Him
[Daily Wire] The former spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council under former President Barack Obama lashed out over a recent report from a Kuwaiti newspaper about how the Obama administration prevented Israel from assassinating a man with strong ties to terrorism by warning Iran about their plans.

The New York Times’ Bret Stephens tweeted out an article from Haaretz quoting the newspaper saying that three years prior to its report, the U.S. thwarted an Israeli attempt to kill Iranian general Qassem Soleimani who is the commander of the Quds Force, a US-designated sponsor of terrorism.
Unconfirmed single source reporting.

OK. Then can we all agree that this would have been a total bumhole move then?
