President Trump said in an interview airing Friday that Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was plotting attacks against four embassies before the U.S. carried out last week's airstrike that killed the top commander.
“I can reveal that I believe it would have been four embassies,†Trump told Laura Ingraham during an interview on Fox News that will air in full Friday night. The president also said Soleimani was targeting the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, repeating a claim he made on Thursday.
“Don’t the American people have a right to know what specifically was targeted without revealing methods and sources?†Ingraham asked Trump.
“Well, I don't think so. But we will tell you that probably it was going to be the Embassy in Baghdad,†Trump replied.
