Iran Press / Iran news: It was on January 3, 2020, at 01:20 in the morning when Lt. Gen. Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), and Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) Second-in-Command Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were assassinated along with their companions in a US drone strike near Baghdad International Airport, authorized by the former US President Donald Trump.

Kadkhodaei noted that the US must extradite criminals for prosecution in the state the victim belonged to it.
"Will the US fulfill its obligations?" he asked.
