Sources in Baghdad are reporting *both* Qassem Soleimani & Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis were in the convoy struck by the US tonight. There's no turning back if that's the case - the US is committing itself to a full-fledged conflict with Iran, one that won't be confined to Iraq.

One development to keep an eye on is whether Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also with Mohammed Ridha. Many in Iraq will shudder at the thought of what could follow if this was the case.
