Iran on Soleimani assassination: Serious revenge yet to come

Iran is marking the first anniversary of the assassination of its top commander, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.
Soleimani was the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps. He, along with deputy head of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units, Abu-Mahdi al-Muhandis, and other companions was targeted by a US drone strike outside Baghdad Intl. Airport on a direct order from US President Donald Trump.
While Tehran retaliated days later by fire missiles at US forces based in Iraq, Iranian officials say that was just a slap, and the serious response is yet to come.
General Soleimani holds a reputation for dislodging Daesh terrorists in Iraq in 2017. He also led major operations in Syria that led to the liberation of key areas from Daesh. This is why the US's assassination of Soleimani led to a safe interpretation that Washington is on the terrorists' side.
Qassem Soleimani was put to rest in his birthplace, Kerman. His funeral was attended by an unprecedented number of people, who turned up to honor him as a national hero who dedicated his life to protect their security.
Not only to Iranians, but to the people of Syria and Iraq, General Soleimani was the nemesis of the terrorists. This is why his assassination is not viewed as a win, but an irreversible defeat for Washington, which is now debating withdrawal from the Iraqi soil after repeated missteps.
