Talk:Qasem Soleimani

Iranian missile attack on the Al Asad Airbase airbase

I feel that the section Retaliation should include the statements put forth by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as well the following is descriptive but lacks balance. "On 8 January 2020, the Iranian military responded to Soleimani's death by launching ballistic missiles at two U.S. bases in Iraq,[204][205] resulting in no reported casualties but 100 traumatic brain injuries.[206][207][208] Iranian officials[209] and some Western media analysts suggested the strike was deliberately designed to avoid causing any casualties to avoid an American response.[210][211]"

While that is one particular viewpoint I will draw your attention to the following from defense.gov. https://www.defense.gov/Explore/News/Article/Article/2052919/joint-chiefs-chairman-defensive-measures-prevented-casualties-in-iranian-attack/

"There's sirens that go off on these bases. ... There's bunkers and jersey barriers, and there's places to go hide and all that," said Army Gen. Mark A. Milley told reporters at the Pentagon today. Milley and Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper briefed reporters after spending most of the day on Capitol Hill talking with lawmakers.

"We have various levels of protective gear, and we have various scatter plans that do certain things," the chairman said. "They are all tactics, techniques and procedures — normal defensive procedures that any military unit would do that would come under rocket attack, indirect fire, mortars, large-scale missiles, etc. So in this particular case, Al Asad is a big base — they put 11 large rockets [with] 1,000-, 2,000-pound warheads in them — but we took sufficient defensive measures that there were no casualties to U.S. personnel, coalition personnel, contractors or Iraqis."

"While no lives were lost, Milley said, he believes the Iranians intended to cause deaths."

"The points of impact were close enough to personnel and equipment ... that I believe, based on what I saw and what I know, is that they were intended to cause structural damage, destroy vehicles and equipment and aircraft, and to kill personnel," Milley said. "That's my own personal assessment."

That is coming from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. America's highest military command. Thoughts?

I think this should be a fair and balanced article and not politically biased because that just makes Wikipedia look bad. The sooner the retaliation section of the article is balanced out by quoting a highly experienced senior military officer. Who happens to be American. The better. We are talking about credibility here. Or lack thereof.

Merge suggestion

I suggest that the article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_of_Qasem_Soleimani be merged into this (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qasem_Soleimani). Mas73Naz (talk) 17:40, 7 October 2020 (UT

Semi-protected edit request on 4 April 2022

I would have logged in to fix this, but it's really late & I'm fagged out, sorry. Anyway, section "Military career"; fifth paragraph, first sentence, beginning of second line 'supress' is miss-spelled. 2 p's, not 1. cheers, gary 99.107.119.238 (talk) 07:22, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
