“EVERYTHING WAS READY! I GOT A PHONE”
Stating that they normally planned to carry out the operation against Soleimani with Israel, Trump said, “Israel would be with us, plans had been made and had been working on it for months. Everything was ready. The night before the operation, I received a phone call that Israel would not participate in this operation.” he said.
“I WILL NEVER FORGIVE NETANYAHU”
Trump stated that this story was not known before and said, “They did not explain to us the reason for this. I will never forgive Netanyahu for letting us down.” said.

KILLING OF IRANIAN GENERAL QASEM SOLEIMANI
On January 3, 2020, the USA carried out an air attack with a UCAV called MQ-9 on the vehicle convoy of Quds Force Commander Soleimani and Hashd al-Shaabi Deputy Chairman Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis at Baghdad Airport.
10 people, including two commanders and Iraqi and Iranian military officials, lost their lives in the attack. Donald Trump, then US President, announced that he gave the order to kill Soleimani on the grounds that he posed a threat to the US. After this, Iran hit two US bases in Iraq with ballistic missiles on January 8. No US soldiers died in the attack, but it was later announced that 109 soldiers suffered traumatic brain damage during the attack.
The Iranian administration placed Trump and American officials such as then-US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and CIA Director Gina Haspel on the sanctions list on January 19, 2021, on the grounds of “carrying out terrorist acts against Qassem Soleimani and his circle, encouraging terrorism, and violating basic human rights.” He announced that he had received it.
