Soleimani death: US military does not expect to conduct additional strikes as officials assess Iran’s next step

CNN  

CNN — The US military does not expect to conduct additional strikes against Iranian-backed groups in Iraq or other locations unless the United States comes under attack, according to a US official directly familiar with the information. There is currently intense discussion inside US military and intelligence agencies to assess whether Iran might be preparing some type of retaliatory strikes in the next few days or may wait for some time following the US airstrike that took out the commander of Iran’s security and intelligence services. There are indications that Iran has ramped up the readiness of its short and medium range ballistic missile force inside Iran, the official said since the death of Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s top military general. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Saturday the United States committed a “grave mistake” in killing Soleimani and that Americans “will face the consequences of this criminal act not only today, but also in the coming years.” It’s expected that it will be Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei making any final decision to order a potential strike against the United States. There was serious debate within the administration leading up to the strike, officials familiar with the matter said, describing an overarching concern that killing Iran’s military leader would lead to dramatic and unpredictable escalation.
