translated from Spanish: Trump narrates details of Qasem Soleimaní’s death at private dinner

President Donald Trump detailed last night during a private dinner the U.S. attack that on January 3 and in a drone operation in Baghdad (the capital of Iraq) killed Iranian commander Qasem Soleimaní next to the Iraqi lieutenant Abu Mehdi al Muhandi, as unveiled this Saturday.
During a private fundraising dinner for his election re-election campaign, at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump described minute by minute the airstrike based on an official and anonymous countdown to the operation, according to recordings obtained by The Washigton Post and CNN.
“They’re together, sir,” Trump recalled the mission-in-charge military saying they were watching everything miles away.
“Sir, you have two minutes and 11 seconds. No emotion. ‘2 minutes and 11 seconds to live, sir. They’re in the car, they’re in an armored vehicle. Sir, you have about a minute to live, sir. 30 seconds. 10, 9, 8 … ‘, ‘ narrated Trump over dinner.
“Then, all of a sudden, boom, ” he continued. “‘They’re gone, sir. Cutting’. “The president recounted of that moment.
Trump described how Soleimani arrived at Baghdad International Airport, where he was greeted by Iraqi paramilitary leader Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, the head of Kataeb Hezbollah, officially called the Iraqi Islamic Resistance Movement.
The US president was delighted to eliminate “two for the price of one,” referring to the death of Soleimani and the Muhandis.
“He was supposed to be invincible.” “He said bad things about our country,” Trump added, referring to Soleimaní.
The murder of Soleimani caused a serious crisis between Tehran and Washington and led the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to strike a military base in Iraq with the presence of US troops on 8 January.
Several U.S. soldiers were wounded in the bombing, in retaliation for the death of Soleimani, considered a hero in Iran.
This new data was released this week in a statement by the international coalition against the terrorist group Islamic State (IS) leading Washington.
The audio files obtained by The Washington Post and CNN – the latter medium were released on their website – came in four short segments, each cutting the sentences.
Trump has been on Friday at his Mar-a-lago residence and according to the team of reporters accompanying him this Saturday he has been playing golf.
