The
Iranian General was assassinated by the drone sparking concerns of
world war 3 between the Middle East and the US. Thousands of people have
travelled to Tehran for Soleimani’s funeral today. His daughter Zainab
Soleimani said at the funeral that the US and Israel would face
repercussions in a clear swipe at Donald Trump.
In
an adress broadcast on state television, she said: “Crazy Trump, don't
think that everything is over with my father's martyrdom.
"The families of U.S. soldiers in the Middle East will spend their days waiting for death of their children."
She added: "America and Zionism should know that my father's martyrdom will lead to awakening...in the resistance front and bring about a dark day for them and flatten their homes".
Mr Trump claimed General Soleimani’s “reign of terror is over” and insisted the military action was ordered to prevent a war and not start one.
Today, thousands of mourners, dressed in black military
uniform, lined the streets of the Iraqi capital to pay their respects
and send a warning to the West.

Yesterday Donald Trump tweeted with regards to
the attack: “They attacked us, & we hit back. If they attack again,
which I would strongly advise them not to do, we will hit them harder
than they have ever been hit before!
And, “The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!”
