The US president was delighted to eliminate "two for the price of one," referring to the death of Soleimani and Muhandis. "It was supposed to be invincible." "He said bad things about our country," Trump added referring to Soleimani.

The murder of Soleimani caused a serious crisis between Tehran and Washington and led the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to attack with missiles on January 8 a military base in Iraq with the presence of US troops.

Several US soldiers were injured in the bombing, in retaliation for the death of Soleimani, considered a hero in Iran.
