WASHINGTON: American President Donald Trump said Iranian top general Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike as Iran was planning attacks on four US embassies.
President Trump said so in an interview with Fox News when asked what threat led to last Friday’s US drone strike. “I can reveal that I believe it probably would’ve been four embassies,” he said.
The killing of Gen Qasem Soleimani, a national hero, came after days of protests at the US embassy in Baghdad.
But Democrats given intelligence briefings on the fatal strike say they have seen no evidence of embassy plots.
