The U.S. just killed the commander of the Iranian Qods Force, Qassem Suleimani, in a drone strike at the Baghdad airport. Suleimani was regarded as the second most powerful person in Iran.
This is a major escalation of the conflict over the past week in Iraq between the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. conducted air strikes last week on the camps of Iranian-backed militias in response to the killing of an American contractor. The militias then organized protests in Baghdad that resulted in the storming of the American embassy by crowds of protestors.
