Killed Top Iranian Commander Was Planning To Attack American Diplomats: US

General Soleimani also approved the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that took place this week

Mumbai: Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US airstrike at Baghdad International Airport, was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region, the US has said.

On the President’s instructions, the US military has taken decisive defensive action to protect American personnel abroad by killing Kasim Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quads Force, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.

General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region. General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more. He had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over the last several months – including the attack on December 27th – culminating in the death and wounding of additional American and Iraqi personnel. General Soleimani also approved the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that took place this week.

This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans. The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world.
