WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Robert Menendez have asked President Donald Trump to immediately declassify his administration’s reasoning for assassinating Iran’s Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, a letter published on Monday showed.
The two lawmakers called on Trump to declassify his January 4 notification to Congress regarding the missile strike on a convoy exiting Baghdad’s international airport that killed Soleimani and a top leader of Iraq’s Shia militias.
The letter noted that US military and civilian law enforcement officials spent much of the weekend preparing for retaliatory strikes promised by Tehran following the assassination of Soleimani.
Soleimani, the commander of the elite Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Abu Mahdi Muhandis, a senior member of Iraq’s Iranian-backed Shia Popular Mobilization Forces, were killed by the US airstrike in Baghdad on Friday.
