Trump's team 'began planning Qassem Soleimani's assassination in 2017'
New details have emerged about the January 2020 strike in Iraq. Mike Pompeo started discussions when he became CIA director in January 2017. The plot reportedly escalated throughout 2018 and 2019 driven by the US's withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal and the killing of a US contractor in Iraq. Donald Trump then gave it the go-ahead because he wanted to take credit for it in his reelection campaign, officials said.
