HeadlineJan 31, 2024

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has called for the U.S. to assassinate Iranian leaders after three U.S troops were killed in a drone strike on a base in Jordan. Haley made the comment in an interview on Fox News.

Nikki Haley: “First you do the sanctions, and you take out a couple of their leaders. That’s the way you start.”

Brian Kilmeade: “In their country?”

Nikki Haley: “In their — if they’re in their country, or you do like Soleimani when they left the country. You figure out where they are. Our special operations can do that. And then you take them out.”

On Tuesday, President Biden said that he has made a decision on how to respond to the drone strike, but did not disclose any details. He accused Iran of supplying the weapons used in the attack, but said, “I don’t think we need a wider war in the Middle East.”
