The lawmaker went on to say the US calculations for carrying out the preemptive measure were turned wrong and resulted in panic for themselves which could be seen in their dispatching mediators to Iran for limiting the country's reaction.
"It is while the tough reaction against the US has become the national demand in Iran," Alireza Rahimi said.
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.
