"in a decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad".
the irony here, in killing general soleimani made them more a target, and in danger from Iran
while Trump could've tried peace talks at a neutral location with Rohani
as for this
''General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.''
he did do bad bad things very long time ago yes, but recent years he was anti terrorism, anti extremism so idk which evidence they had to back their statement up
