ANKARA (AA) – Iran's supreme leader on Friday vowed to avenge the killing of Qasem Solaimani, commander of the elite Quds Force, in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq.
“A bitter revenge is awating the criminals,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a statement.
“His demise will not halt his work, his path will not be blocked," he added.
The supreme leader also declared national mourning for three days in the country.
