The call, as published
"So the US has now forces in Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. Iran should be careful not to take any American lives because then Trump's cautious attitude after the drone's downing might be history."
What happened
In January 2020, the US killed IRGC Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad, the most significant US strike on an Iranian military figure in decades.

What it meant for a business
Firms with people and assets in Iraq and the Gulf had six months' notice that a single American death would turn a cautious White House into a direct strike on Iran's leadership.
