Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei eulogized Quds Force Commander Qassem Suleimani.
"He was wise and clever. His courage was expressed not only in the military but also in politics - he always entered the danger zone to keep others safe," he was quoted on Channel 13 News.
"The missile attack on U.S. bases changed the direction the world is heading - a major change is expected. The U.S. is trying to eliminate the strong resistance force Hezbollah in Lebanon to help Israel reach Beirut," he said.
