The United States has vowed to justify its military operations by reasserting Iran's military leadership, the removal of commander Kuds, commander of the Revolutionary Garrison.

Iran has heralded harsh retaliation, and there are concerns that this could have serious consequences for regional peace and stability, especially in China and Russia.

The US military is facing criticism for ignoring sovereignty in unilateral operations without seeking consent from the Iraqi government.

There is a strong criticism that the impulsive decision of President Donald Trump, particularly the opposition Democratic Party, has put the security of the United States, the Middle East, and the world at risk.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompey spoke of Iran's responsibilities in the interview with Iranian International, released last week by the State Department, on tanker attacks, U.S. unmanned reconnaissance bombardment, and bombardment of US civilians. There was a heightened tension and we needed to stop it. ”

"Soleimani was planning additional attacks that could result in dozens, hundreds of American citizens, Iraqis, and Muslim deaths. We did everything to deter it, and we will continue to do so." The oil painting era is over. "

He appeared on Fox News the night before saying that Soleimani's plan was to kill not only Americans but also Iraqis, Lebanon and Syrians.

But Pompeio expressed satisfaction that he had had fantastic consultations with partners in the Middle East for two days, but expressed disappointment for European countries.

In the face of disagreements with Europe over the Iranian policy, such as the US's withdrawal of the Iranian nuclear coalition, it appears that the criticism that the removal of Soleimani has been criticized in France as "making the world more dangerous" despite the removal of Soleimani. .

"Frankly, European countries weren't as helpful as they expected them to be," he said. "The UK, France and Germany need to understand that America has saved European lives."

"We urge the world to support US efforts to make Iran behave like a normal state," he said, after Soleilmani's past assassination operations in Europe.

Pompey discussed the Iranian cooperation with the Middle East with the heads of state or foreign ministers from China, Russia, Britain, Germany and France.

Pompey responded to public criticism that Trump made short-sighted policies and improvised decisions.

"There is a criticism that there is no strategy, but that's a deliberate closing of eyes," he said. President Trump has built a coalition with partners in the Gulf Coast and has made it clear that he will act quickly when American life is at risk.

On the previous day, security officials including President Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompey, Chairman Mark Mill Joint Chief of Staff and White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien said that the removal of Soleimani was an inevitable step to prevent a greater crisis through interviews, interviews and press briefings. An appeal was held.
