Sen. Mitt Romney — who chairs a Senate foreign relations subcommittee on the Middle East — praised the U.S. strike Friday that killed a top Iranian general, but also called for the Trump administration to articulate “a coherent strategy for protecting our security interests” there.
“Qassim [Soleimani] was a depraved terrorist who had the blood of hundreds of American servicemen and women on his hands, and who was doubtlessly planning operations to further harm our citizens and allies,” Romney, R-Utah, said in a news release.
“We remember and honor the sacrifice of those servicemen and women, and we commend our brave troops and intel officers who carried out this successful mission,” he said.
