He also mentioned that former US President Donald Trump, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and General McKenzie are the main defendants in the case being prosecuted in Iran's courts, emphasizing that their trial should commence promptly to ensure justice is served.
The report states that in his forthcoming memoir "The Melting Point", McKenzie describes a covert operation that led to the assassination of martyred Liuetenant General Soleimani.
He reveals, "As the head of US Central Command, I had direct responsibility for the attack that resulted in the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani."
Lieutenant General Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), and their companions were assassinated in a US drone strike authorized by then-president Donald Trump near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.
