House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is charging President Donald Trump with a war crime for killing Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who is responsible for the murders of hundreds of Americans.
In a letter sent to her Democrat colleagues in the House of Representatives late Sunday, Pelosi said she is drafting a “War Powers Resolution” that charges Trump with a war crime under international law.
Pelosi claims the death of Soleimani was “provocative and disproportionate.”
The letter further claims that Trump’s military action amounts to a war crime because he did not have Congressional approval to go after an Iranian government official on foreign soil.
Soleimani was a military commander, not a government official.
Soleimani was among 10 Iranians killed in a surgical drone strike at the Baghdad Airport on the night of Jan. 3. He was 62.
Pelosi’s War Resolution would limit Trump’s military powers and prevent him from taking any more military action against Iran.
Pelosi’s letter is considered America’s “pre-emptive surrender to Iran.”
