Attorney General William Barr on Monday said that the killing of the Iranian regime’s top military official, Qassem Soleimani, was a “legitimate act of self-defense.”

His remarks were made in response to a journalist’s question after Barr and other senior law enforcement officials announced the findings of a criminal investigation into the shooting at Pensacola Naval Air Station that occurred in December 2019 killing three U.S. sailors.
