Tehran 04January_All US attempts to isolate Iran by abrogating the nuclear deal "and imposing stringent, unwarranted and illegal economic sanctions on Iran have failed dismally," and the attempt to destabilize the Islamic Republic "internally have also recently been met with defeat," according to Dennis Etler, an American political analyst who has a decades-long interest in international affairs.

Why US assassinated General Qassem SoleimaniTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), were killed in US airstrikes in the Iraqi capital Baghdad early on Friday. The US strike took place at the Baghdad International Airport, killing eight other people.

The Pentagon said US President Donald Trump had ordered Gen. Soleimani's assassination.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei promised "severe revenge" for the death of the military commander. Ayatollah Khamenei said the “cruelest people on earth” assassinated the “honorable” commander who “courageously fought for years against the evils and bandits of the world.”
