U.S. claims responsibility for killing of Iranian General, Soleimani

The Pentagon has explained the death of the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani that the U.S forces killed him in a “defensive action,”.

The statement released by the U.S indicates a retaliatory move as the Iranian General has been accused of killing some Americans.

Read the statement below:

“At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qassem Soleimani,” the Pentagon statement said, adding that Soleimani was “actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.”

“General Soleimani also approved the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that took place this week,” the statement said.

The U.S. also held Soleimani and his Quds Force responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and said he “orchestrated” a rocket attack on Dec. 27, which killed an American.
