AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Former Iranian ambassador to Iraq Iraj Masjedi described the assassination of Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani by the US as a crime recorded in history.
Addressing a specialized roundtable focusing on fighting terrorism and extremism in West Asia concentrating on efforts made by the powerful commander of Islam and Iran, which was held at the Institute For Political And International Studies in Tehran on Saturday, Masjedi said that the legal and judicial pursuit of the case of perpetrators of assassination and those who helped the Americans will be underway.
All of Martyr Soleimani’s trips to Iraq were official and at the invitation of Iraq.
In his last trip to Iraq, Martyr Soleimani was invited by former Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, he added.
Stressing that martyr Soleimani was a role model in fighting terrorists, he warmed against the consequences of this crime, saying that the Americans’ crime revealed their real image to the people of the region, including the Iraqis.
