Trump ordered Soleimani attack to appease Republicans he views as important for impeachment, report says
Reports indicate Mr Trump felt pressured by Senate Republicans to act against Soleimani
Donald Trump ordered the airstrike that killed an Iranian general last week at least in part due to fears about his upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate, according to a new report.
An article in the Wall Street Journal indicates that Mr Trump has told associates that he ordered the killing of Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani amid pressure from Republicans who wanted him to take a stronger stance towards Iran.
“Mr Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen Soleimani from GOP senators he views as important supporters in his upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate,” the report, published Thursday, says.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story.
The line appears to confirm earlier reporting by the New York Times, which claimed the president had told at least one person over the phone that he had felt “pressured to take a harder line on Iran by some Republican senators whose support he needs now more than ever amid an impeachment battle.”
In the week that has followed the attack, Mr Trump has been praised by many in the Republican Party. And, as stability in the Middle East has been seen as particularly precarious, Mr Trump has reportedly felt at-ease with the decision.
The new report connecting Mr Trump’s impeachment concerns to the attack come just after Trump administration officials conducted a classified briefing with members of Congress to discuss the reasoning behind the call, and as Washington has appeared divided over whether the airstrike was necessary.

Harry could have sold him a new pair of pants, or 14,500, to replace the ones that caught fire every time he spoke.

When even one American – who has done nothing wrong – is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth – then all Americans are in peril.

If only Trump could follow HST’s favorite: “the buck stops here.” Hey, maybe he does, thinking it refers to $$$ instead of responsibility?

And Trump had planned to attack our ambassador in the Ukraine.
