| Trump 45 & 47

A US drone strike at Baghdad International Airport kills Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the IRGC Quds Force, along with Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. Trump says Soleimani was planning imminent attacks on US personnel. Iran retaliates with ballistic missile strikes on US bases in Iraq, injuring dozens of US troops with traumatic brain injuries. The strike raises fears of wider war.
