Washington
United States President Donald Trump said Friday that top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani “should have been taken out many years ago” as he was directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of millions.
The American president took to Twitter hours after Soleimani was killed in a US strike at an international airport in Baghdad, to say that the Iranian general should have been killed several years ago. The killing sparked tensions in Iran and Iraq with thousands shouting slogans against the US on the streets of Tehran and Ayatollah Khomeini promising vengeance against Washington.
