WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Monday U.S. lawmakers should wait for the facts before criticizing President Donald Trump¡¯s decision to kill top Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad last week.
¡°We can and we should learn more about the intelligence and thinking that led to this operation and the plan to defend American personnel and interests in the wake of it,¡± McConnell said at the U.S. Capitol after lawmakers returned from winter break.
