Here’s a quick summary of what has happened around the world over the last 24 hours, brought to you exclusively by British Herald.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that he will not mourn the death of Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander who was killed on Friday in a U.S. drone strike. British foreign minister Dominic Raab justified the United States move on the airstrike which killed Qassem Soleimani as one of self-defence. He also raised concerns with his Cypriot counterpart on the treatment of the British woman who was found guilty of lying about being gang-raped by Israeli youths in a Cyprus court.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei led vast crowds in prayers in Tehran on Monday at the funeral of slain military commander Qassem Soleimani, publicly weeping for the general killed by a U.S. drone strike. Iranians, who state media said numbered in the millions, poured on to the streets of the Iranian capital to bid farewell to the commander of the Quds Force, the unit in charge of foreign operations of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
Soleimani’s daughter said his death would bring a “dark day” for the United States. “Crazy Trump, don’t think that everything is over with my father’s martyrdom,” Zeinab Soleimani said in her address broadcast on state television after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered Friday’s strike that killed the top Iranian general.
