Iran says US accountable for consequences of Soleimani’s killing
Iran’s top security body said on Friday the United
States would be held accountable for killing Iranian Quds Force commander
Qassem Soleimani, saying Washington’s action was its worst mistake in the
region, Iranian media reported.
“The US regime will be responsible for the
consequences of this criminal adventurism,” the Supreme National Security
Council said in a statement carried by media outlets.
“This was the biggest US strategic blunder in the
West Asia region, and America will not easily escape its consequences.”
Earlier on Friday, Iranian Supreme leader Ali
Khamenei said the killing of Soleimani would double the motivation of the
resistance against the United States and Israel, vowing “severe revenge” and
that Soleimani’s work will continue on.
US President Donald Trump on Friday said that
theIranian commander killed in a US airstrike, Qassem Soleimani, was planning
to kill Americans.
