The US Assassination of Soleimani refers to a targeted drone strike conducted by the United States on January 3, 2020, at Baghdad International Airport. The strike killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces. At least ten people were reportedly killed in the attack, which significantly escalated tensions between the US and Iran.
