Pompeo says US 'got it right' by killing Soleimani as Iran vows 'harsh revenge'

The U.S. "got it right" by killing Gen. Qasem Soleimani, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday amid questions about President Donald Trump's decision to authorize the airstrike that killed the Iranian military leader last week.

Pompeo, speaking to reporters at the State Department, also maintained that the U.S. will act in accordance with international law, after Trump repeatedly said that the U.S. could threaten Iranian "cultural sites" — a possible war crime.

Iran has vowed "harsh revenge" against the U.S., and experts suspect that some form of retaliation from Tehran is likely.

this Assassination thing seems to have been cooked up about the same day the House dropped the Impeachment Articles. When Pompeo did his so called canceled trip to Ukraine,the stench was in the air of something about to happen.
