U.S. drone kills IRGC Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani near Baghdad airport

A U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone strikes a convoy at Baghdad International Airport, killing Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force commander Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. Trump authorizes the strike without notifying congressional leaders in advance, triggering renewed debate over the War Powers Resolution. Iran announces it will no longer observe JCPOA limits on uranium enrichment in response.
