The new head of Iran’s elite Quds force called for the removal of the United States from the region in response to the killing of his predecessor, Qassem Soleimani, APA reports citing Sputnik.
“We promise to continue martyr Soleimani's path with the same force,” Esmail Qaani said on Monday in an interview on local radio, “and the only compensation for us would be to remove America from the region.”
Gen. Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike at the Baghdad airport, where he was met by allied militants. Soleimani has been at the helm of the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, since 1997.
