Iran Press/ Iran news: Martyred Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani was assassinated along with several senior members of Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) on Friday Morning 3 January at Baghdad International airport.
In the statement, the SNSC underscored, “Undoubtedly, the criminal act by the U.S. was done to take revenge on the great commanders of the campaign against Daesh (ISIS) and other Takfiri terrorists in Iraq and Syria.”
“Tough revenge is waiting for the criminals whose hands are tainted in Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani’s blood,” the statement said, adding, “The revenge will take place in due time and place.”
“The U.S. must realize that the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani has been the largest strategic fault of Washington in the Western Asia region. The U.S. won’t get rid of this miscalculation.”
Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani was awarded by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as the first Iranian military official to hold Iran’s highest military order, the Order of Zulfaqar after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
