US President Donald Trump has called the neutralization of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani “one of the most important events in the history of the Middle East.”
elchi reports that Trump stated Soleimani was one of the most feared individuals of the last 100 years and was even treated with caution by representatives of Iran’s supreme religious leadership.
Trump added that Soleimani was preparing an attack against five US military bases.
According to Trump’s claim, his killing was carried out about a week before the planned attack.
The US president noted that this operation served to ensure security in the region and prevent possible casualties.
It should be noted that Qasem Soleimani was killed in January 2020 as a result of an air operation carried out by the US near Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.
