"General Qassem Soleimani killed or seriously injured thousands of Americans for a long period of time, and was conspiring to kill many more ... but they captured him! He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent high numbers of PROTESTORS killed in Iran itself. While Iran can never admit it correctly, Soleimani has been hated and feared in the country. They are not as sad as leaders will let the outside world believe. many years! ", read the tweets by Trump.
The general's death, confirmed by Iran and the United States, represents the most dramatic escalation between the two countries in recent history.
