Within a matter of hours, Iraq moved to expel U.S. forces; the U.S. said it would pause the fight against ISIS in Iraq; and Iran signaled it will stop abiding by limits of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Democrats say they were not informed ahead of Thursday's airstrike targeting Qassem Soleimani. Republicans, though, say President Trump ended a terrorist's reign.

President Trump ordered the death of the best-known Iranian paramilitary commander in a move expected to yield shock waves across the world. What will happen now?

The commander of Iran's Quds Force was largely responsible for the expansion of Shiite power and influence in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.

Gen. Qassem Soleimani was killed Friday in Baghdad. The U.S. secretary of defense said Soleimani "was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members throughout the region."

The protesters set fire to a reception area inside the compound as Marines fired tear gas to push them back. The angry demonstration follows a series of U.S. airstrikes inside Iraq and Syria.

The death of an American Green Beret on Monday raised the tally of U.S. forces killed in action in Afghanistan to 20 this year, the highest since combat operations officially ended in 2014.

The U.N. and The International Committee of the Red Cross applauded the effort and hope it will lead to further releases by Houthi rebels as well as by the Saudi-led coalition waging war in Yemen.

The leader of a pro-democracy group in Kabul says most of his friends "are supporting the decision of Trump." The president called off a potential deal with the Taliban in a series of weekend tweets.

Several media organizations quote anonymous U.S. officials as saying they believe the purported heir to the leader of al-Qaida died but they don't offer details about how or when.
