BREAKING: The Pentagon has confirmed, US forces have killed a top Iranian general in a drone airstrike on Baghdad airport - an attack that marks a dramatic escalation of tensions with Tehran.
Pentagon also confirms the strike was ordered by U.S President Donald Trump, in retaliation for storming U.S Embassy in Iraq earlier this week.
Quote:
Iran immediately threatened a "crushing revenge" for the assassination in Iraq of Major General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force and spearhead of Iran's spreading military influence in the Middle East.
The Pentagon confirmed US forces had killed the general, a revered figure in the region, on Friday.
