New Call of Duty game includes mission to 'assassinate Qassem Soleimani' (www.middleeasteye.net)

The latest Call of Duty video game includes a mission very similar to the real-life assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, according to gamers with early access to the new installment of the franchise.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, set to be released on 28 October, involves a ‘missile strike mission’ targeting an Iranian military leader named ‘Ghorbrani’ within the first five minutes, footage shared on Twitter shows.

Soleimani was killed by a missile strike on Baghdad's international airport ordered by former United States President Donald Trump in January 2020, along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Iran-backed Hashd al-Shaabi Iraqi militia grouping.

I clicked on the article and this is talking about Modern Warefare 2 remaster, not Cod 6.Very confusing on the timing of this post for this older cod game.
