Trump Threatens to Strike Iranian Cultural Sites

VOA News

   People gathered in Tehran on Monday to mourn top general Qassem
   Soleimani, as his replacement vowed to take revenge for the U.S.
   airstrike that killed him, and U.S. President Donald Trump threatened
   to hit Iranian cultural site if Iran does retaliate.

   "They're allowed to kill our people. They're allowed to torture and
   maim our people. They're allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our
   people and we're not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn't
   work that way," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One late Sunday.

   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a letter to her Democratic
   colleagues that the House will vote this week on a war powers
   resolution "to limit the President's military actions regarding Iran."

   "It reasserts Congress's long-established oversight responsibilities by
   mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the
   Administration's military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within
   30 days," Pelosi wrote.
