US-Iran Tensions: Drastic Implications of US Kills Iranian General Qassem Soleimani
A statement from the Pentagon allegedly said that Gen. Soleimani had been “developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region…This strike were aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans…Muhandis commanded the Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah group”, which Washington blamed “for a rocket attack that killed a US civilian contractor in northern Iraq last Friday” [February 27, 2019].
The drone strike came days after protesters attacked the US embassy in Baghdad, clashing with US forces at the scene. The Pentagon added that Soleimani approved the attacks on the embassy, while both Iraq and Iran denied the allegations.
On the same day, in response to the killing of Gen. Soleimani, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, promised retaliation by stating, “Severe revenge awaits the criminals”.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif called the attack, “The US’ act of international terrorism, targeting & assassinating General Soleimani…The most effective force fighting Daesh (ISIS), Al Nusrah, Al Qaeda…is extremely dangerous & a foolish escalation…the US bears responsibility for all consequences of its rogue adventurism”.
Iraq’s Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi condemned the “assassination” of Soleimani as a “dangerous escalation” of regional tensions in wake of protests and demonstrations against America and Israel. Iran-backed political parties in Iraq have been criticizing the anti-corruption protests in Baghdad, viewing them as part of a conspiracy to dislodge Iran’s influence. But, on Saturday [February 4, 2020], the two sides—one pro-Iran and the other anti-Iran, shared a similar, anti-American message. Next day, Iraq’s parliament passed a resolution, calling on the US to withdraw its troops from the country. In response, Trump threatened sanctions against Iraq.
As Gen. Soleimani’s killing marked a major escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran, world leaders and rulers have warned about dangerous consequences.
In this connection, Russia called the killing of Gen. Qasem Soleimani “a murder…a reckless step” by the US…an adventurist step that will increase tensions throughout the region and has cautioned that the US attack could have grave consequences”. Read More >>
