The Pentagon announced the US had carried out the attack near Baghdad airport, describing it as"decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad."In a statement late Thursday, the Pentagon asserted that"General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region." It said Soleimani"had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over the last several months.
Soleimani was also the chief Iranian official in providing support for the Assad regime in Syria, for which he was sanctioned by the US Treasury. Along with Russian airpower, his leadership of Shia militia from Iraq, Iran and Lebanon helped turn the tide of the war in Syria as Assad's army weakened in 2015-16. And Soleimani was an important Iranian interlocutor with the powerful Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.

TimListerCNN if you haven't noticed, the Middle East has been a hotbed of fighting for centuries now. Maybe, just maybe, Iran will come to its senses and stop murdering innocent people world-wide. If they don't, President Trump is prepared to make them stop. Unlike that Barack guy $$$
TimListerCNN If Obama orchestrated this strike you people at CNN would approve , No ?
TimListerCNN
TimListerCNN It's amazing how liberal loons watch our embassy being stormed & don't call out Iran. That's because liberal loons are disciples of appeasement. Our POTUS is a leader who puts America first. The situation was dangerous b/c of the previous administration trying appeasement.
