Baghdad The Iranian authorities accused today, Sunday, “America and the West of putting obstacles in the way of following up on the issue of the assassination of the commander of Al- Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said, “America and the West are putting obstacles in the way of following up the issue of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani,” stressing that “Tehran has blacklisted 60 US officials involved in the assassination.”
Abdollahian added, “The Americans demanded, in one of the rounds of the Vienna negotiations, that the officials whom Tehran included in its blacklist be removed from the list.”
It is reported that on January 3, 2020, two Hellfire missiles targeted Qassem Soleimani, who was with Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, deputy commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces, shortly after they left the airport in Baghdad.
The US Department of Defense (The Pentagon) announced, at dawn on the same day, that an air strike had been carried out near Baghdad International Airport.
