Tehran, IRNA -- Minister of Defense Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani said that the Iranian armed forces will take revenge for Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani's assassination.
The commanders and perpetrators of this cowardly assassination will be punished for their shameful act in a time and place they do not even think of, Ashtiani said in his message released on the occasion of the Third Anniversary of the Assassination of Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani.
The Defense Ministry will pave the way for realization of all the aspirations of Imam Khomeini, the supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and our valuable and dear martyrs, such as Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani, by using all the military capacities and support of the armed forces, the message reads.
US terrorists assassinated General Soleimani, the commander of the Qods Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the former commander of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), along with their companions by targeting their vehicles outside Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020, at the direct order from then US President Donald Trump.
