Soleimani killing: Iraqis ‘dancing in the streets,’ says Mike Pompeo

Updated on Mar 13, 2020 11:02 pm IST

US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said on Friday that Iraqis are celebrating the death of top Iran commander Qasem Soleimani by “dancing in streets”. In the video, people are seen running on a raod carrying a several meter-long Iraq national flag. The United States killed Iran's top general and the architect of Tehran's proxy wars in the Middle East in an airstrike at Baghdad's international airport early on Friday. The Pentagon said that US President Donald Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani, who died in Baghdad “in a decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad”.
