Where is the source for planned by Iran in the sidebar?
editAs far as I've read its been alleged that Iraqi and Syrian Shia militias are allegedly responsible. Where is the US statement that Iran planned it? There is no source attached either. It should be Iraqi and Syrian militias(alleged) b/c thats what we have so far from reports. Midgetman433 (talk) 19:56, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Islamic Resistance in Iraq
editIs there a specific quote that the Islamic Resistance specifically targeted Tower 22? Because that source that claims to be only mentions at least one attack on the border without explicitly naming the base. Unless it can be found that they had specifically named the site in their attack, I’m afraid directly connecting IRI with the attack amounts to WP:OR. Borgenland (talk) 01:47, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- The Guardian says that
Responsibility for Saturday’s attack on Tower 22, a military outpost on the Jordanian Syrian Iraqi borders was claimed by the Iranian backed umbrella group Islamic Resistance,
[1] 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 02:34, 29 January 2024 (UTC)- Thanks! It appears then that earlier sources did not make the mention. Borgenland (talk) 02:54, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Legality? Still True?
editThis was posted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Qasem_Soleimani#Legality) when Soleimani was killed:
"The Charter of the United Nations generally prohibits the use of force against other states, if a country does not consent to it on its territory. The Government of Iraq did not grant permission to the U.S. to target a military commander from another country on its soil. Some legal experts believe a lack of consent from Iraq makes it difficult for the U.S. to justify the attack."
If it is, then it should be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:A985:4300:5810:EE8F:474C:99BE (talk) 00:26, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
