Iraqi Hezbollah militia accused "one of the three presidents" of facilitating the killing of the former Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, in a US operation near Baghdad airport on January 3.
The militias indicated that one of the security leaders possessed information that the head of the Iraqi Intelligence Agency, Mustafa al-Kazimi, was involved in the killing of Soleimani.
The Hezbollah militia has expressed its willingness to provide information about the killing of Soleimani and the engineer, to be submitted to former Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
On the other hand, US Defense Secretary Mark Esber hailed the decision of a military strike against Soleimani, saying, during a congressional session, that US President Donald Trump's order to kill the Iranian Qods Force commander was a "correct response" as "Soleimani had additional plans to kill Americans, and was planning to carry out a "coup in Iraq," according to the Washington Post.
"I think it is clear that the evacuation of the battlefield from it has hindered the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian government, with regard to the deployment of their malicious activity throughout the region," Esber added.
Last month, Iran said that it is determined to sue US President Donald Trump before the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the killing of Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force commander General Qasem Soleimani, according to judiciary spokesman Gholam-Hossein Esmaili on Tuesday.
“Those who commit offences will be investigated. We need to name the US president as the main defendant,” Raisi said, adding, “We won’t let it go unnoticed, he must be convicted at the international level.”
He pointed out that the assassination of the martyr Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis was a clear evidence for America’s terrorism as Trump himself confessed to committing this crime.
