Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday accused Israel of "directing" the US military to eliminate former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a deadly air strike in Baghdad in January 2020.
“The martyrdom of General Soleimani was directed by the Zionists, even though [former US President Donald] Trump was the commander and killer,” Rouhani said during a cabinet meeting, according to i24NEWS.
