'Iran, Iraq not to let Gen. Soleimani’s assassination go unpunished'

Tehran, IRNA – A senior Iranian judicial official says that the January 2020 assassination of Iran's top military commander General Qassem Soleimani will not go unpunished as Iran and Iraq are determined to pursue the case until justice is served.

Kazem Gharibabadi, Iranian Judiciary chief’s deputy for international affairs, made the remarks in an interview with the Iranian state TV late on Wednesday.

Gharibabadi said the fact that a criminal behind General Qassem Soleimani's assassination is in the United States and the court has no access to him will not delay the execution of justice.

He went on to say that Iran and Iraq is determined to pursue the case so that others would not date to commit the same crime in the future.  

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Qods Force Commander Lt General Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, the acting commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) – known as the Hashd al-Shaabi – were assassinated in Baghdad by a US attack on January 3, 2020.
