US and Israeli flags were set alight in Iran’ s capital Saturday as thousands mourned the loss of top military commander Qasem Soleimani , a day after he was killed by American forces . “ We are with you ,” they chanted as they waved their hands in unison during the outpouring of grief at a rally in Tehran ’s Palestine Square , an AFP correspondent reported . Soleimani was killed on Friday in a US air strike outside Baghdad international airport that shocked the Islamic republic and sparked fears of a new war in the Middle East. He was 62. One of Iran’ s most popular public figures , Soleimani was head of the Quds Force that oversaw the foreign operations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran’ s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “ severe revenge ” and declared three days of mourning on Friday following the news of his death. At Saturday ’s rally in Tehran , men held up placards that called for “ revenge ” and black -clad women clutched portraits of Soleimani and Khamenei . One man wearing a mask climbed onto a stone monument holding burning US and Israeli flags as others chanted “ Death to America” . “ Our response will definitely be beyond launching some missiles or destroying some American bases ,” said Milad Najafi , one of the mourners . “ In fact , I think our revenge will be the annihilation of Israel, ” the student told AFP . Another mourner , Ali Gholinam, paid tribute to Soleimani as “ the greatest man we had” . “ They took him not only from Iran but from the ‘ Resistance Front ’, ” he said , referring to Iran’ s allies in parts of the region including the Palestinian territories . “ The ‘ Resistance Front’ members are now mourning this great man, ” he told AFP. “ I don’ t know what the response could be, but whatever it may be, it must be proportionate. ” Soleimani ’s remains are due to be returned to Iran on Sunday ahead of ceremonies in Ahvaz, Tehran, Mashhad and Qom . The slain general is expected to be laid to rest in his hometown of Kerman on Tuesday . source: https://punchng.com/us-israeli-flags-burnt-as-thousands-mourn-iranian-general-in-tehran/

RIP Soleiman. Some cowardly bigot thinks the only way to divert attention from his failures was to kill a more enigmatic and famous man. Your failures will catch with you Grumpy. |

They are fighting a lost battle. How are they going to annihilate Israel when the whole of Middle East sunni and Sunni world won't support them? |

Wait ... I thought President Trump said Sulemani was hated and feared by the Iranian people ? Bring the American troops back home, leave Middle East to deal with their own problems... a lot of mess has been caused already. Isreal can defend itself, Saudi is wealthy enough to afford the most sophisticated weapons out there. |
