The US
Parliament was presented with a classified briefing on the killing of Iranian
army Chief, Qassem Soleimani on Wednesday by top administration officials.
The
Democrats and Republicans were on ground to hear the briefing.
President
Donald Trump was praised by his Republican for ordering Soleimani’s killing.
However, the
Democrats said they were not convinced the “imminent threat” the administration
claimed in its justification existed, Al Jazeera reports.
Senator Mark
Meadows, who represented the Republicans, said, “Not only did the president
make the right call but this was a clear and present danger for American interests
and American individuals.”
But the
Democrats Representative Gerry Connolly called the Trump team’s briefing
“sophomoric and utterly unconvincing.”
He then
described the US killing of Soleimani as “impulsive, reckless.”
Soleimani,
who was the Commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards
Corps, was killed in a US airstrike on his convoy at Baghdad airport on Friday
rising the tension of another World War.
The
airstrike, which was an order from US President Donald Trump, has since
generated a lot of controversies and reactions from world leaders.
Just
yesterday, Iran launched over 15 missiles on US targets in Iraq in retaliation
to the death of Qassem Soleimani, who was buried on Tuesday.
Iran had
issued another warning that any US retaliation to the missile attacks in
Baghdad would lead to an all-out war in the Middle East.
