Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., a longtime outspoken critic of Trump's policies and decisions, has publicly voiced concerns with the decision to kill Soleimani in the days following his death, saying the consequences of the strike were unclear.
Since President Trump’s assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, widespread alarm has centered on whether he is again dragging us into another war like Iraq, to detract from his impeachment. The situation is even more potentially disastrous.
The current crisis might be averted, but the longer U.S. war with Iran continues. The United States has been in a 40-year cold war with Iran. Now, thanks to Donald Trump’s impulsive militarism this 40-year war is turning hot.

The assertions being repeated today seem based on apparently groundless claims from 12 years ago by the same people who said Iraq possessed weapons, weapons programs, and weapons systems that were such a grave threat they ignited the U.S.-Iraq War.
The assassination only fortifies the Iranian strategist’s legacy as a counterweight to U.S. power. ‘He is as much a product as a producer’ of the decades-long conflict.
