Leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says Saudi Arabia was hand in gloves with the US and Israel in the assassination of Iran’s top anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq.

The United States’ assassination of General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis marked one of the most significant acts of terrorism.

A group of Iraqi people have held a rally in Baghdad to condemn the US assassination of anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and his top Iraqi comrade Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis ahead of the first anniversary of the drone strike.

The event will be attended by senior Resistance Front figures in the Iranian city of Qom.

Ayatollah Khamenei says revenge for Iran’s senior commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the US, is certain and will be exacted at just the right moment.

An Iraqi political adviser says the United States has devised an action plan to eradicate the Popular Mobilization Units by force.

The Iranian envoy to the United Nations (UN) has lambasted the so-called US maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic as an “example of state terrorism” aimed at creating suffering and social unrest in the country.

The necessities of an 8 year war, while isolated on all fronts, forced Iran to improvise a defense strategy based on the concept of self-sufficiency and independence of military defence capabilities.

The US has fabricated an “assassination plot” in the pipeline involving Iran, while Trump actually boasts of backing the proposed assassination of Syrian President Bashar Assad in 2017.

Trump threatens to launch a '1,000 times greater' attack against Iran if it carries out any any attack against the US in retaliation for the assassination of General Soleimani.
