Secretary of State Pompeio has appeared in five major US broadcasts, claiming that the Soleimani killing was a legitimate step to eliminate the urgent risk.

He was planning an attack that would bring hundreds of Americans to death, and he needed to stop it.

[Secretary of State Pompeio / US: We made the right decision. The air strikes have reduced the risk of US troops in the Middle East. I am proud of Trump's efforts.]

Iran's proclaimed retaliation is over, and it is clear that it will continue to respond.

He also stressed that any upcoming air strikes would be legitimate, like this time, in controversy over international law violations both inside and outside the United States.

[Secretary of State Pompeio / US: Americans should know that the Trump administration will always protect Americans in a manner consistent with international law.]

Trump also warned in a tweet today that he will respond quickly, completely and unbalanced to Iran's threat of retaliation.

The movement of the US military is also becoming urgent.

The Pentagon has begun dispatching more than 3,500 rapid response troops to the Middle East, including airborne troops.
