TEHRAN (IQNA) – Participants in a meeting of the World Union of Resistance Scholars was held in Baghdad, Iraq, denounced the US assassination of Iranian top commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

 

The meeting was held on Saturday, with the theme of “Iraq’s Unity and Sovereignty; Victory for Palestine and the Muslim Ummah”.

The participants called on the international community to counter Washington’s aggressive policies in the region.

They also rejected the US-proposed so-called “deal of the century” plan for the Middle East as a “satanic plot” to undermine the rights of the Palestinian people and condemned attempts by some regional countries to normalize ties with the Zionist regime of Israel.

General Soleimani, al-Muhandis, who was the deputy commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), and a number of their entourage were killed in the strike by American drones near Baghdad International Airport in the early hours of January 3.

The Pentagon said in a statement that US President Donald Trump had ordered the US military to assassinate the top Iranian commander.
