US Secretary of State Pompeo has acknowledged that the US did not know "precisely" when or where attacks allegedly being planned by Soleimani would take place.
"There is no doubt that there were a series of imminent attacks that were being plotted by Qassem Soleimani," Pompeo said in a Fox News interview that aired on Thursday.
"We don't know precisely when, and we don't know precisely where, but it was real," he added.
The Trump administration has come under fire for its decision to assassinate Soleimani without consulting Congress.
