Esmail Ghaani promised that Iran would 'continue' down the path of Soleimani following the U.S. assassination of the Quds Force leader last Friday.
Iranian general Esmail Ghaani has promised revenge will be taken after the U.S. assassinated his predecessor Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike last Friday.
He also pledged to firmly"continue down martyr Soleimani's path" after American officials claimed they assassinated the dead Iranian general on the basis of intelligence showing he had plans to attack U.S. diplomatic staff and servicemen in the Middle East. As crowds gathered in the Iranian capital of Tehran for the funeral of Soleimani, Ghaani told state TV:"God the almighty has promised to get his revenge, and God is the main avenger. Certainly actions will be taken."
After several public figures pointed out such targeting of cultural sites would constitute a war crime, Trump said:"They're allowed to kill our people. They're allowed to torture and maim our people. They're allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we're not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn't work that way."
