Trump Ignites the Fire

Like "throwing fire into a haystack," that is what Trump did by ordering to kill the commander of the Al-Quds Brigade, the elite unit of the Revolutionary Guard of the Islamic Republic of Iran, General Qassem Soleimani.

U.S. President Donald Trump talks about the United States imposing fresh sanctions on Iran as Vice President Mike Pence looks on in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, U.S., June 24, 2019.

Like "throwing fire into a haystack," that is what Trump did by ordering to kill the commander of the Al-Quds Brigade, the elite unit of the Revolutionary Guard of the Islamic Republic of Iran, General Qassem Soleimani.

United States drone aircraft fired at a motorcade, in one of which Soleimani was on board while exiting Baghdad International Airport, Iraq, last Friday. What prompted US President Donald Trump to take a more determined step than his two predecessors, George W. Bush and Barack Obama? The two presidents were considering removing Soleimani, but the move was not taken after taking into consideration its impact, the consequences that would make the Middle East region increasingly unstable. Moreover, it will also increase the involvement of the US military, with the risk of losing the lives of many US soldiers.
