When President Trump's most senior national security advisers gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort Sunday, an agitated president raised the prospect of killing Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, whom military leaders described as responsible for an attack that killed an American contractor and as likely to kill more. Why Trump chose this moment to explore an operation against the leader of Iran's Quds Force, after tolerating Iranian aggression in the Persian Gulf for months, was a matter of debate within his own administration. Some officials said they were stunned by his decision, which could lead to war with one of America's oldest adversaries in the Middle East. |
