Meanwhile, US President Trump’s defenders came out in full support of the decision. Secretary of State Milke Pompeo also tweeted a video which allegedly shows people in Iraq celebrating the news of the death of General Soleimani.

According to Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Congress did not authorise the attack.

Senator Lindsey Graham addressed the Iranian government directly on Twitter. “If you want to stay in the oil business leave America and our allies alone, and stop being the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.”
