After the recent strike targeting Qassem Soleimani I am wondering why does US performs these attacks so bluntly while nowadays it is quite fashionable to deny involvement.
I assume that in order to able to deny they should rely on less sophisticated strikes which do not immediately connects the attack type to US military technology, but this should reduce the side effects.
Question: Why does US confirm conducting strikes such as the one that targeted Qassem Soleimani? Why not deny it?
