Iranians online are cheering the assassination of Iran Quds Force leader Major General Qassem Soleimani by a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad early Friday local time, with many thanking President Trump with a hashtag that reads: #TnxPOTUS4Soleimani.
This comes as condemnation continues to trail the killing of the Army General, amidst fears that it could spark the third world war.
Many observers regarded Soleimani as the second most powerful person in Iran behind the Supreme Leader.
It was just Wednesday that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei trash talked President Trump, saying, “That guy has tweeted that we see Iran responsible for the events in Baghdad & we will respond to Iran. 1st: You can’t do anything. 2nd: If you were logical —which you’re not— you’d see that your crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan… have made nations hate you.”
Iranians responded Thursday night U.S. time thanking President Trump:

He killed, danced on the blood and people mourned
He didn't know that Earth spins until it became his turn.
Now he is in hell and people are dancing.
Worse than being killed is when the world is happy from your death.

Dear Speaker Pelosi and Adam Schiff: if you think President Trump is a traitor and should be removed from office don’t be surprised if you find yourself cut out on military decisions. It’s why impeachment without crimes is so dangerous for our national security.

Soleimani killed many ppl. But we don’t ususlly assassinate mass murderers in positions of power- Assad, Sudan’s al Bashir, Myanmar’s Gen Min Aung Hlaing, Kim Jong un to name a few. The question is- can we believe Pompeo & Trump? Was Soleimani really plotting “imminent attacks”
