Al-Mandalawi told IRNA on Monday that most Iraqi political and ethnic groups, including politicians, Christians, Yezidis, Turkmens, Shabak people, Kurds, Shias, and Sunnis, urge the government to push ahead with the prosecution of the terrorist Americans involved in the assassination of Iranian and Iraqi commanders because they violated security and sovereignty of Iraq.
Lieutenant General Soleimani was in Iraq at an official invitation by the Iraqi government; thus, the government especially the Foreign Ministry should file an international lawsuit against the American terrorists in particular former US president Donald Trump at international courts, because the crime happened at the international airport in Baghdad, while any military activity at such places is forbidden and subject to prosecution.
On the necessity of withdrawal of occupiers from Iraq’s soil, he noted that concurrent with the third anniversary of the two commanders' martyrdom, people from all walks of life call for the expulsion of Americans from the Arab country and that the gatherings to urge this demand may continue for one month.
The demands for the expulsion of the assassins of the commanders are not being pursued by only one apparatus, but the move is underway in a multifaceted form, including by ordinary people, elite, media operators, and official organizations, he added.
Iraq holds hundreds of commemorations and ceremonies ahead of the martyrdom anniversary of General Soleimani and al-Muhandis, who were assassinated by American drones near Baghdad Airport on January 3, 2020.
