Not one person said: "To start a war." However, you seem to assert that was the intent as you what to classify it as an Act of War.
Was this "Act of War" against Iraq or Iran; as the attack occurred on Iraqi soil?
I am saying that Iran would be justfied in going to war over the assassination of one of their high ranking government officials. The President is not allowed to start a war without the consent of congress. Therefore it was an illegal act by Trump.
If Iran had gone to wsr over this you and your Donald would have been laughed at for claiming the assassination was not an act of war just because Trump said it wasn't.
