Iranians and Iraqis Mark The Anniversary Of The US Killing Of Qassem Soleimani

 


 * Tens of thousands of Iraqis chanting anti-American slogans gathered in Baghdad to mark the anniversary of the US killing of Qassem Soleimani 
 * It comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the US in Trump's final days in the White House   * Soleimani, leader of an elite overseas unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, was killed on January 3, 2020, in a U.S. drone strike on his convoy at Baghdad airport 
 * Washington had accused Soleimani of masterminding attacks on US forces 

Tens of thousands of Iraqis chanting anti-American slogans streamed to Baghdad's central square on Sunday to mark the anniversary of the U.S. killing of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. 

The gathering coincided with increasing tensions between Iran and the United States in the last days of President Donald Trump's administration, and many in the crowd demanded revenge. 


WNU Editor: From what I am reading and seeing. There were more events and larger crowds in Iraq marking the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani than in Iran.
