U.S. officials don’t know “precisely” when or where Iranian General Qassem Soleimani’s “imminent attacks” were going to take place, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said early Friday.

“There is no doubt that there were a series of imminent attacks that were being plotted by Qasem Soleimani, and we don’t know precisely when and we don’t know precisely where, but it was real,” Pompeo said during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”
