Soleimani Eluded the CIA and Mossad for 10 Years. How Did One Night Change Everything?
For over a decade, the Mossad and the CIA kept Qasem Soleimani—the commander of Iran's Quds Force and the architect of proxy wars in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen—in their sights. Seven times they came close. Seven times he escaped.

Together, they tell the story of the most elusive target in modern intelligence—and how a decade of near-misses culminated at Baghdad Airport in January 2020.
