Trump authorized a drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani on Jan. 2 after Soleimani orchestrated a violent protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of U.S. soldiers in the Middle East in recent decades.
In retaliation for Soleimani’s death, Tehran launched ballistic missiles at two Iraqi military bases were U.S. soldiers were stationed, on Jan. 8.
