President Trump issued a series of posts Friday morning laying out the case for the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization — an action that has sent shockwaves through the Middle East and prompted threats of “severe revenge” from Iran’s leader.

“General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more…but got caught!” Trump declared Friday morning. “He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself.”
