The White House-ordered assassination of Iran's top general Qasem Soleimani has been met with both praise and concern in the U.S. Prominent Republicans have spoken out in support of the killing, describing Soleimani as an "arch-terrorist" and an "evil man." But while Democrats agreed with this portrait of the general, some criticized the Trump administration for not consulting Congress and warned that the attack could escalate tensions between Washington and Tehran. Meanwhile, protesters have taken to the streets across the country to call on the government to avoid war.
