Iranian President Rouhani: US made 'grave mistake' by killing Soleimani
The president of Iran on Saturday vowed vengeance a day after his top general, Qassem Soleimani, was killed in a US airstrike in Iraq.
Rouhani visited with Soleimani's family in Tehran on Saturday, and was asked by the assassinated general's daughter"Who will take revenge for my father?"Soleimani was the commander of the Quds Force, an elite branch of the Iranian military that works with militias in other territories like Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq to push a pro-Iran agenda.
However, the move has been met with controversy at home and abroad, with many expressing concerns about whether it was even lawful and fears about how Iran will respond.
