Iran says the current Biden administration is also responsible for the assassination of Qasim Solaimani. Two years ago, Qasim Solaimani, commander of the elite Force Quds of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, was killed in a drone strike near an Iraqi airport. Iran has said in a statement that the United States has an international responsibility for the assassination of top commander General Qasim Solaimani. The move by Washington to assassinate Solaimani is undoubtedly a “terrorist attack.”
The bomber struck shortly afternoon in front of a crowd of mourners. But Iran says it is now the responsibility of the White House and the current Biden administration.
A statement from Iran’s foreign ministry said that the US government was “definitely responsible” for the crime, in accordance with international and legal standards. The martyred General Solaimani has played an important role in implementing Iran’s principles of establishing world peace and stability, including in the Middle East. By killing him while he was fighting terrorists in Iraq and Syria, the United States has revealed its dual character in the war on terror.
On January 3, 2020, General Qasim Solaimani was shot down by a U.S. drone near the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a second-in-command of the Popular Mobilization Unit, a popular Iraqi voluntary organization, was also killed in the attack.
