Khani has adopted a strategic shift from Soleimani's approach: rather than taunting adversaries, being publicly blusterous, publicly insulting, or publicizing his location (as Soleimani did with public appearances in Lebanon, Syria), Khani has chosen to let his actions speak for themselves and go under the radar screen, likely as a lesson from increased Western attention to Soleimani.

“Khani has decided to largely let his actions speak for themselves... not to be publicly blusterous, not to brag, not to publicly insult... but to largely let actions speak louder than words [27:31]”
