The Long Planned
U.S. Assassinations In Iraq Will Increase
Its Political Chaos

The Trump administration has
given various justification for its assassination of
Major General Qassem Soleimani and commander Abu
Mahdi al Muhandis. It claimed that there was an
'imminent threat' of an incident, even while not
knowing what, where or when it would happen, that
made the assassination necessary. Trump later said
the thread was a planned bombing of four U.S.
embassies. His defense secretary denied that.
That has raised the suspicion that the decision
to kill Soleimani had little to do with current
events but was a long planned operation. NBC
News now
reports that this is exactly the case:
President Donald Trump authorized the killing of
Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani seven months
ago if Iran's increased aggression resulted in
the death of an American, according to five
current and former senior administration
officials.
The presidential directive in June came with
the condition that Trump would have final
signoff on any specific operation to kill
Soleimani, officials said.
The idea to kill Soleimani, a regular General in
an army with which the U.S. is not war, came like
many other bad ideas from John Bolton.
