Iran retaliation for Soleimani killing would be poor decision - White House
US Senator Brian Schatz has urged skepticism and "toughest oversight" as the Trump administration ramps up military operations in the Middle East, including the deployment of more troops to Iraq following the death of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani."They have lied about almost everything. There is no reason to suddenly give them the benefit of the doubt because they took a precipitous military action. Instead, our deepest skepticism, our toughest oversight, our most probing questions, must come now," Schatz wrote on social media.

Opposition members of the US Congress have accused President Donald Trump of carrying out the assassination of Soleimani without Congressional authorisation.
White House national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, said on Friday that any Iranian retaliation in response to the US killing of Soleimani would be a "very poor decision".
O'Brien, briefing reporters on the US operation in a conference call, said Soleimani was struck while travelling around the Middle East planning attacks against American military personnel and diplomats in the region.
