The Statement of the Islamic Republic of Iran Consulate General in Karachi

On the Martyrdom of General Lieutenant Gaseem Soleimani

 

The assassination of General Lieutenant Soleimani was a great threat to the peace and security of the whole region and the world. With the absence of such a valiant and prudent commander, there remains fear and anxiety about the reestablishment of the Takfiri and extremist groups such as ISIS in the region. But what could it mean to assassinate such a person who dedicated himself for the fight against terrorism?

The US terrorist attack on Martyr Soleimani and his retinue, is not only in violation of the international law and human rights, but also is an act of aggression against the sovereignty of other countries and is an obvious example of state terrorism. The assassination of a person, who is a hero of counter terrorism and extremism, is a contradiction that can be traced back to Trump's statement saying we (the United States) are the creators of ISIS ourselves.

Anyhow,  no nation like Iran and Pakistan understands the plague of terrorism to the deep of their bone. Terrorism is the common pain of these two Muslim nations, Iran and Pakistan, and a lot of blood has been shed on this path. Looking back, the peace and security we cherish now are the result of the martyrs’ sacrifices such as Sardar Qassem Soleimani’s and the 17,000 martyrs of terror in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Now that it has been two years passed since he was brutally and unmanly assassinated, the crime will not be left unanswered, and the committers, supporters and assistants of this inhumane crime are to be held accountable in the court of justice. The Islamic Republic of Iran will officially use its political, legal and international capacities in order to take action and prosecute the perpetrators of this hideous crime.
