And why no convincing evidence has been provided implicating Soleimani in an imminent attack on Americans.
Trump wants war on Iran this year. And so do his sponsors and backers.
Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi stated that he was due to meet the elite Quds force commander after he landed in Baghdad for talks that had been agreed to at Trump’s request.
Abdul-Mahdi told the Iraqi parliament on Sunday that Soleimani entered the country with a response to a Saudi Arabian proposal to de-escalate the volatile situation between the two countries. He said that Trump had called for his assistance in mediating with the Gulf kingdom, which views Iran as its main regional rival, blaming it for attacks on its oil refineries earlier this year.
“[Gen Soleimani] came to deliver me a message from Iran, responding to the message we delivered from Saudi Arabia to Iran,” Abdul-Mehdi explained. But soon after he landed in Baghdad, Soleimani was killed in an attack by a U.S. drone described by the Iraqi prime minister as “a political assassination.”
