al-Shabab is a Sunni group affiliated with al-Qaeda.

Iran is a Shiite nation opposed to al-Qaeda.

This is not "payback" for the assassination of Soleimani. More likely, al-Shabab recognizes that Trump can't concentrate on more than one issue at the same time.

That's Kenyan base on Kenyan territory - al-Shabaab went across the border

Trump's killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani may have taken out a bad guy, who was once an American ally in Afghanistan,

Soleimani led the Al Quoz brigade which is Shia, and has nothing to do with with either Al Shabab or Al Quaida/ISIS, all of which are Sunni. In fact, Al Shabab would have no qualms in killing Soleimani themselves. You might want to read some background to understand the conflict.
