US airstrike in Baghdad
According to BBC report, Pentagon confirmed that US forces in Iraq killed General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ elite Quds Force “at the direction of the president”.
Gen Soleimani was being driven by car at Baghdad airport, alongside Iraqi PMU commander, when he was hit by a US air strike.
But the US accused the commander and the Quds Force as terrorists, and holds them responsible for the deaths of hundreds of US personnel.
However, Iran and its IRGC said that they extended support to Iraq at Iraqi government’s request.
Particularly, they highlighted their key role in counterterrorism operations against Daesh (ISIS).
US President Donald Trump tweeted an image of the American flag after the news broke.
However, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei commented on the martyrdom of the “great commander” of the IRGC’s Quds Forces Major General Qasem Soleimani.
