Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Sunday the Trump administration foresees no more Iranian military attacks in retaliation for the U.S. strike that killed the Islamic Republic's most powerful general
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Sunday the Trump administration foresees no more Iranian military attacks in retaliation for the U.S. strike that killed the Islamic Republic's most powerful general. The Pentagon chief suggested that Iran's government is under internal threat following its downing of a Ukrainian civilian airliner.
Iranians have expressed anger over the downing of the Ukrainian flight on Wednesday and the misleading explanations from senior officials in the immediate aftermath. Later the government took the blame for the shootdown, saying it was a tragic accident caused by human error. The plane crash killed all 176 people on board, mostly Iranians and Iranian-Canadians.“To the leaders of Iran - DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
