The War with Iran ... Continues

Stephen Green, posting at Instapundit, about the killing of Qasem Suleimani.
By any measure, Trump’s daring call to eliminate Suleimani hasn’t brought us any closer to war with Iran, because we’ve been at war for a very long time. It hasn’t brought us any closer to World War III, because there’s no Iranian coalition, and far from being a global power, Iran is an overextended regional player.
Is Green correct? Much of what he observes is incontestable. Whether or not the killing will lead to large scale open warfare remains unclear.
