IRAN’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the assassination in January of top anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike in Iraq, stating that the United States made a grave mistake by making such a coward move.
‘By cowardly assassinating Gen. Soleimani, US committed a grave mistake,’ the ministry said in a post published on its official Twitter page on Tuesday, as the anniversary of the crime draws near.
It added that Iraq’s parliament resolution calling on the government to end the deployment of all foreign military troops on the Arab country’s soil ‘is the beginning of the end of the malign presence in our region.’
