Pentagon: President Trump ordered the attack on Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani - Sara A. Carter

Pentagon: President Trump ordered the attack on Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani - Sara A. Carter: The Pentagon confirmed on Thursday evening that President Trump ordered the attack that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces.

Soleimani was the long-running leader of the elite intelligence wing called Quds Force – which itself has been a designated terror group since 2007, and is estimated to be 20,000 strong. Considered one of the most powerful men in Iran, he routinely was referred to as its “shadow commander” or “spymaster.”
