Dr Rouhani said that people appreciated the services of the great Martyr Soleimani in different cities of both Iran and in cities of Baghdad, Karbala and Najaf in Iraq, adding, "This massive attendance did not let the United States gather its allies around it after the assassination of Martyr”.

The president added, "Even some European heads of state expressed regret in phone calls, calling the move dangerous for the region”.

Dr Rouhani stated, "In the cowardly assassination of Martyr Soleimani, the world public opinion, elites in our society and the Muslim World, especially our neighbours who had seen the services of Martyr Soleimani, reacted well and the line of resistance became very strong”.

Dr Rouhani also referred to the floods in Sistan and Baluchistan and his recent visit to the flood-hit areas of the province, adding, "The sense of cooperation, self-sacrifice, kindness and devotion of the people in this incident is also very valuable”.
