"This was a defensive strike, that was taken, and supported by very solid intelligence ... This was strongly supported by everything that we were seeing that Soleimani was planning imminent attacks against American diplomats and armed forces members in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and in the region," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity."This was an action taken in self defense, and the United States has the inherent right to defend itself, if it is faced with an attack."
