US task forces at the scene for about 1-2 minutes, performing the so-called "damage assessment", taking photos of the scene, confirming the drone selected the right car and Soleimani was dead.

Photos provided to Fox News show Soleimani's vehicle burned and his body lying at the scene. Unpublished photos include a close-up of the unimportant body of Soleimani or the burning body of Soleimani next to the car he was seated in.
