Trump says Soleimani was hated in Iran, should have been killed many years ago
Washington/Sputnik: President Donald Trump on Thursday defended his decision to assassinate Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani, saying the Iranian general was reviled and feared in Iran and should have been eliminated many years ago.
"While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country," Trump said via Twitter.
"They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago!" said he.
Trump also blamed Soleimani for the killing or wounding of "thousand of Americans" over the past few decades and accused the Iranian general of "plotting to kill many more."
