The Americans “committed a great act of folly” by resorting to the assassination, and they are “the main losers,” Khatibzadeh said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The official noted that the trend of US expulsion from the region has expedited since the assassination and Washington’s dream of disintegrating the regional resistance front has failed to materialize.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Soon after the US drone strike that killed General Soleimani and a number of his companies in Baghdad, the Iraqi Parliament overwhelmingly passed into law legislation that mandated the withdrawal of US forces from the Arab country’s soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
