Iran’s most prominent military leader, Quds Force Commander General Qasem Soleimani, was confirmed by U.S. sources to have been assassinated by an MQ-9 Reaper attack drone near Baghdad International Airport in the early hours of January 3rd, 2020. The operation was overseen fully by the CIA. The attack claimed two dozen other members of the general’s convoy, including the commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Force Mohammed Rida al Jabri, a paramilitary organisation aligned with the Iraqi government. The U.S. hours later moved to designate its close affiliate, the Asaib Ahl al Haq militia, as a terrorist organisation. The American Reaper drones were reportedly operated from Creech Air Force base in Nevada, and their deployment contradicted prior reports that American attack helicopters had been responsible for the strike. The drone strike was personally ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump in the evening of December 2nd, and the U.S. Congress was informed of the attack before it took place.
