Former US President Trump should be tried for the assassination of General Soleimani, says Iranian leader.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called for "retaliation" against those responsible for the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani.
Sputnik - Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called for "retaliation" against those responsible for the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, head of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
He also emphasized that the conspirators led by former US President Donald Trump must be brought to justice.
The Iranian leader suggested that "it would be good" if "Trump and Pompeo and other criminals faced trial before a fair court, their horrific crime was judged, and their brazen acts were made public."
"The martyr Soleimani was an official guest of the Iraqi government, and by assassinating him, you both violated Iraq's sovereignty and murdered an entire nation," Raisi added.
"Otherwise, I will tell all American statesmen to have no doubt that the Ummah [Muslim world] will take revenge," he warned.
Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, were killed in a US drone strike near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.
