By SARAH BLAKE MORGAN and JONATHAN DREW Associated Press
Hundreds of U.S. soldiers have deployed from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Kuwait to serve as reinforcements in the Middle East amid rising tensions following the U.S. killing of a top Iranian general. Lt. Col. Mike Burns is a spokesman for the 82nd Airborne Division. He told The Associated Press that 3,500 members of the division’s quick-deployment brigade will have deployed within a few days. The wife of one soldier who recently deployed said that his departure was so abrupt she didn’t have the chance to say goodbye in person or by phone.
Iraq’s Parliament calls for expulsion of U.S. troops
Iraq’s Parliament is calling for the expulsion of U.S. troops from the country in reaction to the American drone attack that killed a top Iranian general. Lawmakers approved a resolution Sunday asking the Iraqi government to end the agreement under which Washington sent forces more than four years ago to help fight the Islamic State group. A pullout of the estimated 5,200 U.S. troops could cripple the battle against ISIS and allow its resurgence.

McConnell and Pelosi give no signs of budging on impeachment
By LISA MASCARO AP Congressional Correspondent
Congress opened the new year with the Senate deadlocked over President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is indicating he has little interest in hearing from witnesses as Democrats are demanding. The process is in flux. McConnell is hoping for a speedy acquittal of the president, but the trial cannot begin until House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sends over the articles of impeachment. Pelosi is refusing to do so until Republicans provide details on the trial. She said McConnell is an accomplice in Trump’s cover up. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said senators need to hear the “whole truth” as they weigh Trump’s removal from office.
US long watched Soleimani, but feared risks of a strike
By ZEKE MILLER and JULIE PACE The Associated Press
Previous presidents have considered whether to target Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and decided against it. Trump’s decision is a sharp departure from the previous two administrations. The Bush and Obama administrations both weighed striking Soleimani but decided the risks were too high. Officials said they were concerned about Iranian retaliation and also worried that killing Soleimani wouldn’t have an effect on Iran’s regional provocations and support for terror groups. Trump said Friday that Soleimani should have been taken out years ago.
