Former National Assembly Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim has hailed US President Donald Trump for his commitment in the fight against terror.
This is after Trump's government ordered an airstrike on Friday, on the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Qassem Soleimani and his deputy commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
"Trump disabled one Global terrorist Soleimani and his Iraqi assistant Muhandis. There are two other terror-sponsoring mass murderers to be disabled in MBS & MBZ. These two mass murderers have wreaked havoc in the Muslim world. Hopefully, the Iranians will deal with them," Maalim said in a tweet.
General Soleimani is blamed for deadly chaos at the US embassy in Baghdad where dozens of people were killed this week.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Friday, the assassination of Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani would double the motivation of the resistance against the United States and Israel, state television reported.
"All enemies should know that the jihad of resistance will continue with a doubled motivation, and a definite victory awaits the fighters in the holy war," Khamenei said.
Iran often refers to regional countries and forces opposed to Israel and the United States as a "resistance" front.
While it's not clear how Tehran plans to carry out the revenge, Iran has in the past developed mass destruction weapons.
