The notification was classified and it was not known if a public version would be released. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the classified document "suggests Congress and the American people are being left in the dark about our national security."
"Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently hundreds of Iranian protesters,"the president tweeted. "He was already attacking our Embassy, and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran has been nothing but problems for many years.
Hassan Karim al-Kaabi, the deputy speaker of Iraq's parliament, said Baghdad would make "decisive decisions that put an end to the US's presence in Iraq"."The time has come to put an end to the US recklessness and arrogance in Iraq," he added. Demonstrators took to the streets in cities across the United States and in London on the weekend to protest Soleimani's killing."No justice, no peace, US out of the Middle East," crowds chanted in New York's Times Square, holding signs that read "Stop bombing Iraq" and "No war or sanctions on Iran."
