Tehran Times - Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran�s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), said on Saturday that assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani was the United States� gift to Takfiri terrorists and their supporters.

Speaking at a meeting of the secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council, Shamkhani said that Soleimani�s important role in fighting terrorism was the reason behind the U.S. hatred towards him.

The top security official noted that the world should praise Soleimani�s endeavor in fighting terrorism.

On January 3, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes that martyred General Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq�s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), in Baghdad�s international airport.

Soleimani was recognized internationally as a legendary commander in the war against terrorist groups, especially Daesh (ISIS).

Tehran Prosecutor General Ali Alqasi-Mehr announced on June 29 that 36 individuals, including Donald Trump, have been identified in connection with the assassination and Interpol has been notified to arrest them.

�36 individuals who cooperated, collaborated, and participated in the assassination of Hajj Qassem, including political and military authorities of the U.S. and other countries, have been identified,� he stated.

The prosecutor general explained that Trump is at the top of the list, and he�ll be facing prosecution even after his term as president.

In the early hours of January 8, the IRGC fired dozens of ballistic missiles at a military airbase hosting U.S. forces in Iraq as part of its promised �tough revenge� for the U.S. terrorist attack.
