More than three years after the deadly US drone strike on Iranian General Kassem Soleimani, Iran continues to threaten retaliatory action against then US President Donald Trump.
Tehran hopes to kill Trump, then-US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, then-Chief of US Central Command General Kenneth McKenzie, and all the commanders who ordered Soleimani killed, General Amirali Hajisadeh said on Iranian TV Tuesday night . .
Soleimani was killed in January 2020 in a Trump-ordered drone strike at Baghdad airport.
He commanded the Al-Quds Brigades, the foreign operations branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and was considered a hero of the Iran-Iraq War. Trump said at the time that he ordered the drone strike in response to a series of attacks on US bases in Iraq.
Days after the deadly attack on Soleimani, Iranian forces fired missiles at a US military base in Iraq. Amid heightened tensions, Tehran also accidentally shot down a Ukrainian airliner. All 176 people on board died in the crash.
