Qasem Suleimani, who was assassinated by the United States in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, was laid to rest in his hometown of Kirman on Tuesday.

Millions of Iranians chanted slogans that echo their wrath towards the US and promised revenge from those who planned and carried out the assassination.

People bade farewell and paid their last respect to Lieutenant General Soleimani in the past days during ceremonies in the cities of Baghdad, Ahvaz, Mashhad, Tehran, and Qom.

Iranians all around the country took to the streets on Sunday and Monday to condemn the terror act of the US. They took to streets carrying the pictures of Soleimani and flags of Iran, chanting "Down with the US" and "Down with Israel".

On 3 January 2020, amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran, the U.S. launched a terrorist attack on a convoy traveling near Baghdad International Airport, killing ten passengers, including Iranian major general and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Quds Forces commander Qasem Soleimani, Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces commander Abu Mahdi al- Muhandis, four senior Iranian officers and four Iraqi officers.
