Fears of a World War 3 have been sparked after the United States launched an attack that killed a top Iranian military leader, with experts warning that the strike could spark a region-wide war with Iran and its allies.
Late on Thursday, the Pentagon confirmed that President Donald Trump authorized a military strike at the Baghdad, Iraq, airport that killed Major-General Qassem Soleimani, who was seen as the second most powerful man in Iran. The killing sent shockwaves across the world, leading many to speak out against the attack and for Iran to vow retribution.
There were some immediate fears that the action could spark a larger war. The U.K.’s Express noted in its running update of events that “fears of World War 3 erupt after Trump orders brutal attack.”
