Iranian Judiciary Demands US Pays $50 Bn for Assassinating Soleimani
The Iranian judiciary demanded the US administration to pay compensation of about $50 billion for assassinating top Iranian military officer Qassem Soleimani in early 2020 in Iraq. The ruling was issued three weeks before the fourth anniversary of the drone attack that killed Soleimani, along with Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, near Baghdad Airport on January 3, 2020, in a strike ordered by former President Donald Trump. Back then, Trump confirmed that Washington succeeded in killing a "monster" who was planning a big attack" on US diplomats and military personnel.
