House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel slammed the Trump administration today over last month's killing of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani
slammed the Trump administration Friday over last month's killing of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani, arguing a new report justifying the attack undermines the argument that the operation was in response to an imminent threat.
The administration also highlighted the 2002 authorization passed ahead of the invasion of Iraq that toppled Saddam Hussein's regime, which it argued also "may address threats to the United States posed by militias, terrorist groups, or other armed groups in Iraq." "Iran's past and recent activities, coupled with intelligence at the time of the air strike, indicated that Iran's Qods Force posed a threat to the United States in Iraq, and the air strike against Soleimani was intended to protect United States personnel and deter future Iranian attack plans against United States forces and interest in Iraq and threats emanating from Iraq," it said.
