On January 3, 2020, missiles launched by a U.S. drone struck a vehicle convoy leaving the 

Baghdad, Iraq airport and killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, along with 9 other 

people, including Iraqi military leaders. The U.S. has argued that the strike was lawful under 

international law’s jus ad bellum rules, but others disagree. 

Explain in a reflection paper that analyzes and assesses the U.S. strike that killed Soleimani and 

develop an argument as to whether the U.S. should engage in strikes like this in the future. 

Students must: 

i. Present both the most compelling legal argument to defend the strike under 

international law and the most compelling legal argument to condemn the strike 

under international law. 

ii. Take and defend a position on which argument on the strike’s legality is the most 

compelling. 

iii. Provide a political analysis that assesses the controversy from the viewpoint of 

international politics: Are there political arguments that support or are at odds with 

your conclusion on the strike’s legality or illegality? Are there political explanations 

that help us to better understand the attack or the controversy?
