What would be the worst scenario after Soleimani's death?

The United States killed Iran's top general Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike on Baghdad's international airport, ratcheting up U.S.-Iran tensions and complicating the Middle East situation. The order came directly from U.S. President Donald Trump following the attack by the Iran-backed militia on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad earlier this week. The targeted killing echoes President Trump's threat on Twitter that the Iranian government would 'pay a very big price' for the embassy attack. Iran's top leader quickly responded to the killing and vowed 'severe revenge.' Will U.S-Iran tensions continue to mount and eventually lead to a full-blown armed conflict? As the Iraqi government has condemned both the embassy riot and the U.S. airstrikes, how will Iraq balance its ties with both of its allies? And can Trump honor his campaign promise to end 'endless wars' overseas?
