Iran’s hardline president Ebrahim Raisi is calling for former president Donald Trump and his secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, to be put on trial for the assassination of terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani.
Marking the second anniversary of Soleimani’s death by a U.S. drone strike, Raisi and other top Iranian officials celebrated Soleimani’s decades of terrorism and fomented anti-U.S. fervor during a massive rally in Tehran. If Trump and Pompeo are not put on trial, Muslims across the globe “will avenge his martyrdom,” Raisi said, hinting at possible terror attacks. Raisi also said that Trump should be “prosecuted and killed.” Iran claims it has new evidence that Israel was involved in the U.S. drone strike and is petitioning the United Nations to launch unspecified legal proceedings against American and Israeli officials.
“The aggressor, murderer, and the key criminal, namely the former U.S. president must be tried for the heinous crime of assassinating Gen. Soleimani,” Raisi was quoted as saying in the country’s state-controlled press. “You [the Americans] not only violated Iraq’s sovereignty, but you also assassinated a nation, not just an individual.”…
Raisi said that Iran will continue to deploy Soleimani’s violent methods.
“His school [of thought] will not die out with assassination and missiles because a school will remain forever,” Raisi said.
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations also petitioned the global body on Monday to formally hold Israel and the United States responsible for Soleimani’s death. In a letter to the president of the U.N. Security Council, Iran’s ambassador urged nations to sanction “U.S. terrorist forces” criminally liable for Soleimani’s death.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, a chief Iranian proxy group, also gave an address on Monday honoring Soleimani and urged terror groups in Iraq to step up their ongoing attacks on American positions in the country.
