Millions of Iranians took to the streets in Kerman for the burial of Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's Quds Force, who was killed on Friday near the international airport of Iraq's capital, Baghdad.

The processions started in the streets of Ahvaz in southwestern Iran, followed by Mashhad in the northwest, the holy city of Qom, and Tehran.

After his killing, Tehran has abandoned the remaining limits of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. Iraqi parliament has called for the expulsion of all American troops from Iraqi soil. (ILKHA)
