Qasem Soleimani was planning a significant campaign of violence against the U.S. when it decided to strike him, Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday. He said the risk of inaction exceeded the risk that killing him might dramatically escalate tensions with Tehran.
