'General Soleimani is dead because he was an evil bastard who murdered Americans,' Sen. Ben Sasse said.
Congressional response to the death of a top Iranian general in a U.S. airstrike in Iraq was decidedly mixed Thursday night.
Soleimani was the architect of Iran’s regional security apparatus, including anti-American militias in Iraq and Syria, and widely seen as one of the highest-ranking officials in Iran’s government. He had previously been declared a terrorist by the U.S. The attack is likely to bring a strong military response by Iran and its allies in the Middle East against U.S. targets, and crude oil prices surged Thursday night while U.S. stock market futures fell.“Qassem Soleimani masterminded Iran’s reign of terror for decades, including the deaths of hundreds of Americans,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. tweeted. “Tonight, he got what he richly deserved, and all those American soldiers who died by his hand also got what they deserved: justice.
“Gen. Soleimani has killed hundreds and hundreds of Americans, and was actively plotting more. This commander-in-chief — any C-in-C. — has an obligation to defend America by killing this bastard,” Sasse tweeted.
