Days after Trump claimed the US killed Iran's top military general because he was targeting four US embassies, two of the President's top national security officials are declining to provide evidence of the intelligence used to justify the drone strike
In interviews that aired Sunday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and national security adviser Robert O'Brien both did not cite specific intelligence information when pressed by their interviewers. Trump said in an interview Friday that he approved the military attack earlier this month that killed Qasem Soleimani because he believed the Iranian general was targeting the embassies.
Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told CNN last week that the administration's"public messaging has raised all kinds of questions about whether or not there was sufficient motivation to launch an attack to kill arguable the second most powerful and important man in Iran.
