President Donald Trump elaborated more on the threat posed by Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, saying Iran was aiming to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

Soleimani was killed in a drone strike in Baghdad last week, prompting Iran to launch missiles at Iraqi military bases that contained U.S. troops on the night of Jan. 7. No casualties were reported.
