A U.S. drone strike, ordered by President Trump, killed the Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani at the Baghdad International Airport.
Iran vowed to retaliate against the United States for the deadly attack.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, promised “harsh vengeance” against the United States.
There are fears of a potential war brewing between the two countries.

In an “Emergency Podcast” to his listeners and the Iranian people, Moore said that although he does not favor theocratic regimes, he sympathizes with Iran because of the way they have been treated by the United States.
“I would like to ask you, as much as you have the right to and as much as you want to, I would like you, the leadership of the country of Iran, to not respond with violence to the United States,” Moore said.
The 65-year-old filmmaker went on to urge the Iranian leadership to not play into Trump’s hands with violent retaliation, but instead wait for Congress or the American electorate to remove Trump through impeachment or an election.
“I am asking you to try what Martin Luther King and Gandhi said requires the most amount of courage which is to respond with non-violence,” he continued.
“I am asking you to leave this up to me, give me all of 10 months and I and millions of Americans will remove Trump from the White House.”
Moore says he recorded the podcast episode and sent it in a direct message via social media to Iran’s leader.
