Soleimani death achieved 'what he tried to achieve in his life'

The US must "stay engaged in the Middle East" advises the Washington-based think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which has been influential in the Trump administration's policy on Iran.

Its chief executive Mark Dubowitz spoke to Andrew Neil about the legacy of the Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, killed by the Americans in Iraq on Friday.

He said this meant Soleimani would "achieve in the wake of his death what he always tried to achieve in his life" and to drive the US and its allies out of the region.
