Former Secretary of State mikepompeo's forthcoming book recounts inside details on how then-President Donald Trump’s team came to the decision in the lead-up to New Year’s 2020 to kill Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, lays out the details and circumstances behind the Trump team’s moves in vivid detail. Pompeo’s book comes out next week. The subtitle of the excerpt the publisher provided exclusively to Breitbart News is, “Soleimani Tastes American Vengeance.”
That response, however, he noted had proved “inadequate to stem the rising tide of Iranian aggression.” “All were on board with the plan, some of which was a direct result of work that had been set in motion sometime prior,” Pompeo writes. “God’s hand was on this, too.” Pompeo next describes how strikes in the modern era against terrorist leaders have generally fared—which is usually another person just steps up and replaces them and business as usual commences—as compared with how the Trump officials expect this one to go if they successfully took out Soleimani.
Iraqi forces take security measures as crowd leave the site after Iranian-backed Hashd al-Shaabi group urges its members to withdraw from around U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, on January 1, 2020. “Back in America, we prepared for the strike,” Pompeo writes. “At the appointed moment, I was with Esper and Milley at the Pentagon. The president was in Florida. We went through the final approval process that morning and tracked Soleimani’s movements.”
“The Iranians soon confirmed that their evil hero was dead,” Pompeo writes. “Around the world, we were ready for vengeful attacks on US facilities. The Israelis also were ready, knowing that Iran could choose to retaliate against them. In the same way, we had worked with our Gulf Arab partners, giving them a heads-up without revealing our specific plans.”
