A prominent general in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard died in an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Iranian media reported Saturday.

The killing of Gen. Abbas Nilforushan marks the latest casualty suffered by Iran as the nearly yearlong Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Stripteeters on the edge of becoming a regional conflict. His death further ratchets up pressure on Iran to respond, even as Tehran has signaled in recent months that it wants to negotiate with the West over sanctions crushing its economy.

…

Nilforushan served as the deputy commander for operations in the Guard, a role overseeing its ground forces. What he was doing in Lebanon on Friday wasn’t immediately clear. The Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force for decades has armed, trained and relied on Hezbollah as part of its strategy to rely on regional militias as a counterbalance to Israel and the United States.

    And what you try to do is lock people into one word responses that make you feel correct nobody is allowed to be multifaceted and answers can’t come with qualifying facts?

      The irony is that with that response, either you lost the plot, or I did. I honestly don’t know which.

      I genuinely don’t know what you’re referring to, and don’t care enough to read this entire thread to try and figure it out.

      If you want to post examples, I’ll take a look.

      I will say that if you decide not to reply and post specific examples, I will not take that to mean anything other than you not wanting to waste anymore time here in this pointless back and forth.
