The New York Times reported he had been overseeing secret diplomatic contacts with the US through Pakistan.

Trump was intensifying the bombing despite only 27% of Americans approving.

Obama Would Have Seen This Coming

The Pentagon confirmed the strike as part of "Operation Epic Fury" aimed at decapitating the regime.

Trump's decision to escalate came days after Kharazi gave a CNN interview saying he saw no room for diplomacy.
