Iran's top security body is to meet today to discuss a US attack that killed the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' elite Quds Force, General Qasem Soleimani. It comes after reports of a strike at Baghdad's international airport, which is said to have killed a number of people. Soleimani was a major figure in the Iranian regime - whose force reported directly to the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
