Baghdad / Washington, Jan. 3 – Iran’s supreme and military commander Kassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was killed in the US Air Force attack on Baghdad Airport Road today.
Eight other men, along with these two top officers, were killed and many others wounded in the most accurate rapid fire of American air forces.
Many cars were damaged in a rocket attack near Baghdad International Airport.
The attack was carried out at the behest of US President Donald Trump. Iranian military chiefs had planned a pre-emptive plot to attack the American king’s technicians and military bases. The US Department of Defense Pentagon has made it clear that we have killed these two officers in the most accurate attack that has resulted in the deaths of many.
Qasim Solaimani, the chief of the Quds forces, the most important unit of the Iranian military, was targeted and attacked in the car.
The Pentagon official said in a statement that Hashed’s deputy chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also killed in the attack.
Iran’s military has also said that the international airport has been hit by missiles since last midnight.
Eight people, including key leaders, were killed in rocket attacks targeting a hashed convoy, security sources said.
Hashed is a network of mostly Shiite armed units, many of whom have close ties to the Iranian capital, Tehran.
He has been officially inducted into Iraq’s state security forces. Muhandis was Hashed’s deputy chief and was recognized as a major leader. He was added to the American blacklist.
Trump orders assassination: US President Donald Trump has ordered the assassination of Iran’s revolutionary army chief Qaysem Solaimani, the Defense Department Pentagon has confirmed.
General Soleimani was planning an attack on American ambassadors and service members in Iraq. General Soleimani and his army were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and soldiers of the Allied Forces. The Pentagon said the officers were fired for the purpose of preventing further massacres and vandalism.
It is in this backdrop that US President Trump has ordered the assassination of Soleimani for the protection of his country’s defense forces and civilians, the Defense Department said.
Trump tweeted a picture of the American flag after General Soleiman’s assassination. But no statement has been made.
Iran-backed countries have condemned US action and fully backed Tehran in its fight against it.
