Iran Press/ Iran news: Chanting "Down with US", they condemned the terrorist crime of the assassination of Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani and stressed that the Iranian nation never surrender to such brutal and weak acts.
The Commander of Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Lieutenant-General Qasem Soleimani and the second-in-command of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were martyred by the US air raid in Baghdad, Iraq's capital.
United States Department of Defense released a statement, saying the US ordered an airstrike that martyred the commander of Iran's Quds Force, Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani, at Baghdad International Airport.
Martyred Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani has played a leading role in the fight against terrorist groups not only in Iraq but also in Syria, as according to the Guardian, a few days ago he was listed as one of the top 10 figures in the world and it wrote that "the United States and Israel have been working to assassinate him several times."
Last year, the American magazine Foreign Policy listed Martyred Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani as one of the top 5 defense-security thinkers. Undoubtedly the emphasis is placed on the position of the martyred Quds Force commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps due to the special role he played in the fight against terrorism, especially in Iraq and Syria.
Since 2011, with the Western countries conspiracy and the financial backing of countries such as Saudi Arabia, which led to the formation of Takfiri terrorist groups, including ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra in the region, Qasem Soleimani launched a new mission to counter these threats in both Iraq and Syria.
